How does Depression Counseling Work?

Depression counseling provides an understanding of behavior patterns, why we do what we do. It teaches healthy, effective skill building to resolve and manage your issues. Depression counseling provides the environment to get “unstuck” from your issues. It is a positive solution focused approach to changing your life. We will work together to develop goals and a plan to accomplish the change in your life and/or relationship.

Elder Care Counseling

Elder Care Counseling can help you help your loved ones.  Almost everyone has or will have to provide some sort of care or assistance to elderly members of their family. Sometimes it can become difficult and stressful to provide care to our elderly loved ones. You often may have questions about how you are going to find the time or energy to care for them on top of everything else going on in life. Not to mention the fact that many times you try to help they refuse it. At Nancy’s Counseling Corner in Orange County, we can help you and your family learn to better communicate and care for elderly members of your family.

Can Hypnosis Help?

There is generally no one agreed upon definition of hypnosis. Hypnosis is a tool used by clinicians to teach or initiate changes in sensations, perceptions, thoughts and behaviors. It is a state of absorption, concentration and relaxation used to access the change. It can be a powerful tool used to create effective change. When in a trance state you are aware of what you are doing, in control and can communicate with the therapist. It allows you to be in trance state, to lower our defenses and critical, negative thinking to access change faster. It is a goal-oriented tool.
