LIGHT THERAPY DEMONSTRATIONS

Beating the Winter Blues!

exhaustedsmallwebYou've probably heard about Light Therapy for treating winter depression. But where do I go to learn more? How do I know what product to buy? Does insurance cover the cost? When should I see results? Can I really fit it into my busy schedule?

Light therapy fixtures come in all shapes and sizes and with all sorts of claims. Choose something that fits your lifestyle and bank account. Schedule a 60-minute light therapy demonstration and orientation before you make a purchase.

Cost: Individual sessions: $40. Small group rates also available: $100 (6 maximum).

Call to schedule: 412-687-1234.

90-Minute Consultations

Are you reluctant to see a counselor or therapist?

  • "I don't have insurance."
  • "I don't want people to think there is something wrong with me."
  • "My problems aren't really that bad."
  • "I just want a little direction."

Counselors are therapists. They also are educators and are trained to assess the needs of individuals.

In one 90 minute session you can leave with a new outlook and direction, a host of useful resources, solid ideas for improved coping strategies and decision-making, and a sense that someone is listening.

Are you looking for new career directions, stress reliefguidance with relationship troubles, or are you struggling with a loss, a serious illness, or a major transition? Counseling can be the impetus and help you need to solve your problems.  Sessions are available to individuals, couples, and families.

Cost: $125. Call to see if you are eligible for 30% discount: 412-687-1234

My Counseling Services

Nowadays, we don't really know how to grieve and how to console. Grief is one of life’s experiences that we all share, yet most people are very alone in their grief.

Pregnancy Loss

I work with a wide range of couples—married, co-habiting, pre-marital, gay and lesbian partners, close friends, siblings, adult children and parents. I start with no assumptions and no expectations other than a firm belief that opening communication is key. It can sometimes be rough, sometimes frustrating, sometimes painful, but always healing.

Life's hardest adjustments come at the end of life. Letting go of "life as it was" becomes the real challenge. Facing a diminishing future raises difficult questions. You may find yourself down in the dumps or anxious all the time. Don't be resigned. This is not a normal part of getting older. There are underlying causes and solutions and hope. The first step is the willingness to keep rediscovering yourself and trusting that there is meaning in life up to the very last moment. More...

What good can counseling do at the end of life? It is an opportunity for resolution, for forgiveness, for making meaning out of a life lived, for leaving a legacy, and for acceptance. And it is a time for bringing families, friends, and loved ones together, for recalling memories, and for shared bereavement. Judith works with terminally ill clients and their circle of family, friends, and caretakers. More...
