While many battles in life may happen, having a counselor that can help you fight the mental health fights can make it even easier.
Norwalk was settled in 1649 and was named after the Algonquin word noyank, which means “point of land.” It was the sight of the Battle of Norwalk during the revolutionary war, where most of the town burned down. But, they ended up rebuilding, and while it’s suffered many disasters, including a railroad disaster, they picked themselves up, and with a mental health professional, you can do the same thing with a little bit of help.

A therapist wants to support you toward a healthier emotional state, no matter what you're dealing with (including behavioral health concerns, grief, anxiety, depression or stress). While helping to develop healthier emotions, another benefit of therapy is you have a safe space to discuss problems that you may be hesitant to talk about with people who you see everyday.
Many people have sensitive topics to discuss; possibly an addiction or an issue with their relationship that they’re ashamed to speak about with their friends and/or partner. A Norwalk therapist can help you confront these kinds of issues and find ways to face them and heal.
