Counseling Services and Resources

Women today face many challenges, from young adulthood through mid-life and into the retirement years. Developing personal goals, navigating difficult relationships, managing families, or coping with stress and the unexpected situations that life throws our way…sometimes life can feel overwhelming and that’s when getting help from a counselor can make a difference. This is especially important when you are suffering from depression or anxiety, or when symptoms start to get in the way of living the life that you want. 

The providers at Audubon understand that caring for women involves more than just medical care, and that emotional and psychological struggles can have an effect on a woman’s overall health and well being.  

Audubon has three independent private therapists located on site within our offices. Priority for scheduling new clients is given to Audubon patients, but may be limited. Please contact the individual therapists directly for current availability of new client appointments, hours, and scheduling needs.
