Emotional Counseling during Stressful Times


You are not alone during these stressful, anxious and de-stabilizing times. If you need emotional counseling in order to cope with stressors regarding work, family or finances I will be happy to serve as a sounding board or a source of comfort, inspiration and hope. As you may know, I am a masters level psychologist and counselor. I assist all kinds of clients, like the County of Santa Barbara, previously Sansum Clinic, etc. in supporting people with stress, anxiety and other issues. Given the nature of this stressful time, you may need to vent as well as come up with a plan to cope with loved ones, co-workers and financial issues. Together, you and I can create a plan to navigate through these challenges on a weekly basis.

I am offering my counseling sessions at $47 per hour (sold in a package of 4).  Each week, you and I would talk on the phone for an hour, set some goals, help you with your dealings with others (some families are now all cooped up together) in a positive way that helps you find the silver lining in this time. There are many good things that can come out of adversity. Maybe you can start that project you have been wanting to do for a long time; perhaps you can find your creativity in cooking, arts, writing, journaling, music. This might be the perfect time to go deeper with yourself and explore the fears that are coming to the surface. Let me help you. This, too, shall pass! In the meantime don’t hesitate to call or email me. ~ Petra
