Living with a health condition — whether recent or long-term — can impact more than just your body. It can take a toll on your emotional well-being, relationships, and sense of control. At The Summit Counseling Center, we offer counseling services to help individuals and families navigate the mental and emotional challenges that come with health-related issues, from chronic illness to serious diagnoses.
Is a Health Condition Impacting Your Mental or Emotional Health?
You may benefit from counseling if you:
- Feel anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed by a medical diagnosis
- Are adjusting to life with a chronic illness or disability
- Struggle with treatment-related stress or lifestyle changes
- Experience grief or loss related to physical limitations
- Are a caregiver feeling emotionally drained or unsupported
- Want help finding resilience, hope, and balance
