The Center for Holistic Counseling provides a safe setting where adults, children, adolescents and seniors can find inner strength and direction through personal counseling. Clients receive active support as they grow personally and spiritually from the pain and joy found in their everyday experiences and relationships.
Since 1981, the center has provided comprehensive, confidential counseling services to the diverse ethnic and socioeconomic communities of the East Bay. Adults, children, couples and families can receive counseling for a wide variety of issues, including:
- Life transitions
- Family conflicts and parenting
- Relationship problems
- Trauma, grief and loneliness
- Spiritual crises
- Anxiety, stress and depression
- Incest and sexual abuse
- Chronic pain and illness
- Sexuality (all sexual orientations welcome)
- Women's and men's issues
- Intimacy
- Depression
- Creativity
Advanced graduate students in the MA Counseling Psychology programs at John F. Kennedy University's School of Holistic Studies provide counseling. All counselors work under the supervision of licensed, professional psychotherapists.
Counselor trainees receive traditional clinical training specializing in either a transpersonal or somatic perspective. Their training prepares them to assist people with exploring their life challenges and seeing how these challenges relate to their thoughts, emotions, body, spirit and environment.
