The early settlement of Philippi changed its name twice before residents finally named it Saint Albans. As your own history progresses, you also go through many changes. You try to recognize and develop the characteristics that make you who you are. Yet, personal challenges keep you focused on just getting through each day.

Change is always difficult. When the changes create situations you don’t know how to deal with, your emotional distress increases. You lose your drive, self-confidence, and emotional strength. Talk to a counselor in the Saint Albans area to get in touch with the strongest self within you.
