Oliver Counseling

Addiction (Substance, Sexual, Gambling)

     Addiction can bring us to some of the most broken and dark places in our lives.  The burden of addiction does not have to control your life anymore.  You can be set free!  It begins with a desire to change and grows into a life of recovery.  You can find healing and recovery.  It is never too late to seek growth and change.  Addiction therapy can be very effective and can completely transform your life and relationships.

Grief/Loss

     The losses of life often take us completely by surprise and take the wind out of our sails.  The journey of grief is different for everyone.  Often what you need most is someone to come alongside and be willing to sit in the middle of the hurt.  You need someone to listen.  It feels like no one could understand or know what you are going through.  You knew that this happened to others, but never to you.  Grief/loss counseling can provide profound healing in the midst of the greatest pain you may have ever felt in your life.  Nathan and Amy will help you journey through this pain and confusion, in order to get you to a place of healing and restoration.

Depression

     Depression plagues millions of Americans every day.  Signs of depression include: feelings of worthlessness, constantly being tired, withdrawing socially, difficulty with motivation to start tasks, too much sleep or sleeplessness, constant sadness, loss of appetite, feeling empty, apathetic, or simply more "down" than you used to be.  Depression can be treated effectively for the majority of people with several key behavioral changes that can be worked on in the therapeutic environment.  At Oliver Counseling, a highly effective assessment of your depression is provided and from there a treatment plan is developed that will best help you to overcome the depression in your life.

Anxiety

      Anxiety can steal the joy and energy out of your day-to-day life.  Anxiety can manifest itself physically through heart/chest pain, chronic fatigue, numbness, blurred vision, loss of appetite, and headaches.  Anxiety can also manifest itself in social phobias, situational phobias, panic attacks, general stress, difficulty concentrating, fear of failure/rejection, distancing in relationships, and distorted thinking. Your thoughts and beliefs greatly influence the anxiety that you experience in life.  Through the use of cognitive behavioral therapy, you can find great healing for even the most extreme anxiety.
