Chronic Illness / Disease
Whether life-long allergies, asthma or eczema; diabetes, stroke, COPD, or cancer; hepatitis C, HIV / AIDS, HPV, or other medical issues; the results are that more and more people contend with health challenges that may be kept in check but are lifelong.
Whether a person contends with a new diagnosis, a new phase of the disease, or simply wants a safe space to reflect, appreciate life, and make good decisions, a few sessions or a series of sessions may be of long-lasting support.
