Staten Island is a district of New York that has an interesting factoid. Until 2001, it was the home of the world’s largest landfill. However, it closed down and is slowly being replaced by a recreational park. This is a good metaphor for how a counselor based in Staten Island can treat your mental health. 

When your mind feels like a landfill, a counselor can be there to clean it up and replace it with something beautiful that you can navigate. Talk to a counselor based in Staten Island today.
