The stigma associated with therapy is complex and deeply rooted in many societies. There are many misconceptions about mental health: from the misunderstanding of people and how they feel, to what is within our control for better outcomes. All decisions are made from an emotion; whether from fear, safety, anger, being happy, feeling alone, being scared, etc. Allowing freedom to explore these emotions allows us to make better informed decisions for ourselves, our families, our friends and our future. The awareness to give yourself this freedom should not be perceived as "weak" or "silly." Reef Wellness is available to raise the awareness of counseling and promote open conversations regarding mental health.

Counseling Services can range from a few months, to a year or even longer. The length of time for therapy is based on your therapeutic goals, your overall wants and needs, and any psychological and financial barriers that may arise.

Individual Sessions - In person
Individual Sessions - In person
Individual counseling is a personalized opportunity to receive support, feedback and therapeutic tools. Topics such as anxiety, depression, self esteem, substance abuse, how your upbringing effects you now or the way you are currently parenting, could all be discovered. Counseling allows you to explore feelings, behaviors and current belief systems, and what this means for future development.

What is worth feeling better about in your life? Or what is worth learning about yourself so that you can continue to be and feel better? This is not meant to defend or to excuse, but to understand the "why" that helps us make healthier and safer choices in promoting growth.

During Covid-19, in person meetings were not safe for most industries. Video models were introduced for safety and it was discovered that video conferencing could be a convenient use of time as well.

This holds true for counseling sessions! While most people still enjoy meeting in person, Telehealth Sessions allow the counselor and client to meet without additional time away from the clients' workplace, their family time, etc., as long as they have a safe and welcoming place allowing them to explore the session.

Because of this, all counselors with Reef Wellness implement and utilize a telehealth platform that is HIPAA compliant. Similar to other video platforms, a secure link is texted and/or emailed to the client for their personal session with the counselor.

Adolescent Sessions
Adolescent Sessions
Like individual adult counseling, therapy is a personal opportunity to receive support, feedback and therapeutic tools. However, adolescents in therapy have the opportunity to use these tools as they are growing and maturing into their adult self (as opposed to changing the programming as an adult).

Teens struggle with topics such as anxiety, depression, self esteem, identity, sexuality, and traditionally can feel alone with these topics as they mature. As feelings are discovered, fear around their acceptance can keep them isolated.

Support Groups
Support Groups
Group PsychoEducation is education provided to a small group of individuals with similar challenges that effect their mental well being. Group members meet to discuss a variety of topics, including mental health concerns, communication skills, and therapeutic tools. The goal for group sessions is to provide a supportive environment where members can discuss their concerns, share experiences and receive feedback and support from both the trained counselor and fellow group members.

These support groups are helpful guidance, not treatment. It is not uncommon for group members to recognize a desire for individualized care.
