Benefits of Choosing Lake County Counseling Center for Therapy

There are many benefits to engaging in counseling/therapy/psychotherapy.  There are also many good agencies with many great therapists to choose from.  Most Therapists, Clinicians, Counselors, LCSW’s, LCPC’s, Psychologists, are all educated and equipped to treat many issues such as low mood, stress, parent/child issues, behavioral problems, anxiety, sadness, grief, depression, etc. Most Therapists have the education, proper training, and license to assess and diagnose individuals with Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, PTSD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Depression, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and the many other disorders that are listed on the DSM.

But why choose therapy at LCCC? 

At LCCC our focus is to treat the ROOT of the problem not just treating the symptoms. 

Yes, that means examining very close the individuals LIVED EXPERIENCES and understanding and acknowledging that these lived experiences, shape how we think, behave, and respond/act.  Due to our lived experiences and what an individual has been through, many of us have very dysfunctional adaptations to these experiences.  Rightfully so, we had to learn how to function, survive, and cope with traumatic life experiences.  It does not matter how big or small that life experience was, if it affected us in a negative way, it was traumatic. Therefore, we are who we are, because of what we have lived through and what we have endured. 

For far too long, traditional Western Medicine has taught providers how to “treat” symptoms and not how to heal the root of the problem.  And that is the PROBLEM.  No individual will EVER get better if the root of the problem is not treated and healed.   The Western treatment model is to medicate, medicate, medicate.  But the medication is to treat the symptoms not to cure the root of the problem.  Why do you suppose that is?  Is there any money in a healed patient or a sick patient?  (DISCLAIMER: Do not get me wrong, I am not against all medications and all medical treatments.)

At LCCC we are interested in helping you heal.  YOU HAVE THE POWER TO HEAL.  Remember that! Our bodies, our mind, and our souls ARE RESILIENT.  We were meant and built to heal.  But healing not only consists of coming to therapy once a week.  YOU HAVE TO PUT IN THE WORK.  If you put little to no energy in healing and making necessary changes you are NEVER going to get better.  It is CRAZY to think that if you continue to live life the same way, you will get a different result.  Something MUST change!  Healing also consists of changing habits that are making us mentally, physically, and spiritually sick.  Everything is connected, mind, body, and soul.  We cannot treat one without treating or addressing the other.  There again, I stress the importance of PUTTING IN THE WORK. 

If you are ready to move forward, learn skills/techniques, implement these techniques in everyday life, make necessary changes, be consistent, and FINALLY HEAL, please GIVE US A CALL.  We have been waiting for YOU.   Give us a call and start your HEALING JOURNEY TODAY!
