Counseling in Winnipeg
Just as staying physically healthy through diet and exercise is critical, prioritizing mental health is also crucial. It’s an essential part of overall well-being, contributing to happiness, resilience, and a balanced life. At Norwood Health & Wellness, we focus on the whole person, which is why we offer holistic therapies like counseling.
Some mental health problems are more common than physical health problems, with the most common issues being depression and anxiety. The number of people living with depression and anxiety continues to increase year after year, with up to 3 in 5 people affected in 2024 (per the Mental Health Commission of Canada). Anxiety is also known to start as early as age 12 or younger.
What Counseling Is and Why It Matters
Counseling provides a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you can openly discuss personal challenges, emotions, and goals with a trained counselor. More than just talking, counseling involves working with various techniques designed to help process emotions, understand life’s challenges, and gain practical tools for managing them. Whether you’re seeking to grow personally or improve coping skills, this service helps you have a clearer perspective on current and future challenges.
