General Therapy & Counseling Services

GENERAL THERAPY & COUNSELING SERVICES

At Biltmore Psychology and Counseling we believe that personal growth and development is a lifelong journey. While some days we may have the tools we need to navigate life’s complexities, dark days can necessitate growth and change. Our psychologists and counselors journey with people through the joys of life as well as the tragedies, providing expert guidance, compassion and support along the way.  We firmly believe that counseling is not for the “sick” or “unstable,” but a resource for people at every stage of life. We all are in need of support, and our psychologists and counselors know exactly what it’s like to struggle and refuse to give up hope.

Additional Topics We Help With Include:

How does it work?

Counseling at BPC is not a passive process, though we try to offer comfortable chairs. Clients and therapists work together to set positive, practical goals to overcome difficult emotions and circumstances. Our therapists support clients with new skills so that clients can independently continue to pursue life-long growth and transformation. During our sessions, the goal is to help people learn about themselves, recover from painful experiences, and find the best solutions to their frustrations. But with that said, our treatment plans are never a “one-size-fits-all.” Instead, they are individually tailored to help individuals overcome the most complicated, challenging, or confusing of circumstances.

Who are our Clients?

General Counseling clients are hard working, tenacious individuals who expect a lot of themselves and expect a lot out of counseling as well. They are motivated to overcome the small frustrations in their life and make a change in the areas that may no longer feel bearable. Whether someone is experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, or self doubt our clients refuse to be complacent and refuse to accept that they will feel this way forever.
