What is the goal of counseling for intellectual disability?

The goal of counseling for intellectual disability isn’t to change who you are. Instead, it’s about providing a roadmap to help you navigate a world that isn't always set up for your unique way of thinking. We’ll help you understand and celebrate your strengths, build a support system, and develop the tools to live a more independent and fulfilling life. You have the power to live a rewarding life, and we are here to help you get there.

How does counseling help with social skills?

Social situations can sometimes feel like trying to solve a puzzle without all the pieces. It’s a struggle! Counseling provides a safe space for you to learn to identify social cues and practice new communication skills. We’ll help you understand how to navigate relationships and find a sense of belonging in a world that can feel confusing. We believe you have the capacity to connect with others and we will help you find a new way to communicate.

Can counseling help families of a person with an intellectual disability?

Yes. We understand that a family's journey with intellectual disability can be both beautiful and challenging. It’s a unique path, and it’s okay to need some guidance. Counseling provides a safe space for you to process your emotions, find community with other families who understand, and develop strategies to advocate for your loved one. We believe you have the power to create a supportive and loving environment for your loved one and we are here to help you.

What are some ways to manage emotions?

Managing emotions can sometimes feel like trying to catch a dozen bouncing balls at once—it’s overwhelming and frustrating. Counseling gives you the tools to manage your emotions so you can feel more in control. We’ll help you learn to identify your feelings and find healthy ways to express them. We believe that by understanding what's going on inside, you can better navigate the world outside.
