Life is an adventure. And just like an adventure, there are going to be struggles and trials one must face. These struggles can come in the form of inner battles like depression, or external problems like moving or trying to get a new job.
A counselor can help you. Aventura is Spanish for “adventure.” Every day in Aventura is a new adventure. If you need help with your adventures, a counselor can help you, but you must speak to one and follow their instructions. You can achieve your goals and end your adventure with a bang.

At the impressionable age of thirteen, I remember listening to my mother and sister talk about their interest in psychology. They mentioned that being a therapist sounded interesting, and without a pause I asked, “Why would you want to listen to other people’s problems?” They both laughed and pointed out that I already did that regularly for my family and friends. As the years passed, I noticed that friends and family regularly shared their challenges with me and I enjoyed being able to help them! Sometimes this called for advice, insight, a kind word or even a...

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 Aventura therapist can help you confront these kinds of issues and find ways to face them and heal.
