Or maybe your life has been just fine up to this point, but now  you're questioning the path ahead, or you have problems in relationships, or health issues, or any number of things that can cause anxiety and stress. We can help you in writing that chapter too. We’ll explore solutions together and assist you in making decisions based on your needs and your goals.


Whatever has happened in the past..., whatever you're dealing with now…, wherever you find yourself..., your mood, your relationships, your entire life story from this point on can be geared toward what you want in your future.  IF you're serious about turning the page and writing the next chapter in a way that brings you happiness and contentment, call us and we'll help you on your journey to a more satisfying and fulfilling life.

And yet, that's what many of us do - read and reread what has gone before until we're mired down in the pain and confusion of events and patterns from the past. We just "get by" as we repeat those same patterns and get the same results. There is no plan or ability to move forward toward happiness and fulfillment.  


If that has been your path, and now you're tired of it, depressed by it, and would like to move forward in a new direction, Next Chapter Counseling can help you. We believe that the past does not have to define you or direct your future - it is never too late to change the direction of that future.
