Handy Life Counseling & Coaching
Handy Life Counseling & Coaching (HLCC) is modeled after four fundamental keys that are important in life: culture, faith, education and most importantly, optimum mental health. HLCC is unique in the way that it offers the therapeutic approaches and various services that incorporate the above fundamental keys.
HLCC offers high-quality therapeutic services to adults and couples for most clinical areas ranging from: anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, infidelity, intimacy concerns, co-occurring disorders and work-related trauma and micro-aggressions that cause or exacerbate mental health challenges.
HLCC specializes in treatment of: survivors of trauma, residual impact of the BIPOC (i.e., Black, Indigenous, People of Color) communities, Christians that practice or struggle with their practice of the faith, and those “of any ethnicity” seeking racial understanding, reconciliation and healing in today’s climate.
HLCC also finds education to be an essential part of therapy. In addition, an essential part of those who are navigating the higher education system. Therapeutic services should be distinguished from stress brought on by academics and should not be trivialized to believe that there is a mental health concern. As a result, HLCC offers life coaching services.
On behalf of Dr. Handy and the team, we hope you will experience the highest quality of care offered from a wide range of therapists and life coaches.
