Saint Albans has a rich history, but perhaps the most amusing is the sightings and belief in Champ, a lake monster in Lake Champlain. Although many people do not believe in such things, it is still an amusing story. You yourself may have things that you believe in that no one else believes. If you are wondering at your own mental stability, you can seek outside help.
Counselors in the Saint Albans area can help you with these types of issues as well as other mental health concerns such as depression and anxiety. Licensed and confidential therapists are available to help you learn resources and tools to help you. Contact a counselor today.

Are you feeling anxious, confused, out of sorts, overwhelmed? I can help! Problems with relationships, friends and family, work, and health issues can lead to symptoms of anxiety, stress, sleeplessness, and depression. Often times negative thinking patterns create and/or exacerbate these symptoms. We all need a safe and supportive environment to explore life's challenges and change those thinking patterns. My job as a clinician is to assist you in negotiating all of life's transitions and challenges in order to improve your relationships with yourself and others. Using clinical and mindfulness skills combined with laughter helps my clients achieve their goals. Take that first step toward finding balance and contentment-reach out.
