Some of Walter’s Specialties
Adult Counseling and Marriage & Couples Counseling
Some adults and some couples need minor adjustments to get back on their feet and some need a major overhaul to improve their life or save their relationship, marriage, or family. Some individuals or couples come to counseling to prevent problems from occurring in the future, and some come to solve current problems or heal from past relationship wounds.
Substance abuse
Our Substance Abuse Counseling services are designed to help individuals who are struggling with addiction and substance misuse. Substance abuse can have a profound impact on all aspects of a person's life, affecting their physical health, mental well-being, relationships, and overall quality of life. At the Counseling Corner, we are here to provide compassionate and non-judgmental support to those seeking help and recovery from substance abuse.
Young Adult and Teen Counseling for Older Teens
“Some adolescents / teenagers or young adults have minor issues and just need a little assistance to get back on their feet, improve their functioning, get back on track and reach their potential. Whereas some have serious issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, eating disorders, domestic violence, substance abuse, and many more serious issues that need more significant interventions. Some go to counseling to prevent problems from occurring in the future and some come to solve current problems and heal from past wounds.
