What Happens in Counseling?

Sue Mocniak, LISW at Restore Counseling offers a supportive and guided approach to help you navigate life's challenges and improve your emotional well-being. Here’s what you can expect:

• Processing Thoughts and Feelings: If you're struggling with persistent unwanted thoughts and feelings that occupy your daily waking hours, counseling provides a space to process them with professional guidance.

• Exploring Emotional Cycles: You'll have the opportunity to delve into the potential origins of chronic depression, anxiety and emotional patterns that may be negatively impacting your life.

• Trauma-Informed Care: For individuals who have experienced trauma, Restore Counseling utilizes EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a highly effective and quick evidence-based therapy.

• Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction: I incorporate techniques aimed at reducing stress through mindfulness and your body's natural calming systems, helping you to be more present and less overwhelmed.

• Understanding and Intervening on Stress: You'll gain knowledge about the physiological aspects of the stress response and learn in session practical strategies to actively intervene and manage your own stress levels.

• Improving Self-Perception and Life Satisfaction: The ultimate goal is to help you feel better about yourself and your overall life.
