Perry is powerhouse for wrestling, with its high school historically having one of the most successful programs in the United States. This sport requires grappling, throws, and takedowns – do you ever feel like you’re in a wrestling match with any personal issues in your life?
Just like a coach who guides and supports an athlete, a mental health counselor does much the same thing. Counseling allows individuals to evaluate where they’ve been and determine how to get to where they want to be. If you’re wrestling with something in your life, work with a Perry- area therapist who can help you “pin” the problem down and find a resolution that works for you.
