Dallas Counselor and Therapist Offers Student Wellness Program for Affordable Help to Students

April 21, 2012 - PRLog -- Michael J. Salas, Professional Counselor and Therapist announces the Student Wellness Program at Vantage Point Counseling in Dallas, Texas. This program will focus on helping college students with problems that they are dealing with relating to depression and anxiety. To encourage students to participate in such a program, students will be offered counseling and therapy services at a lower rate than the standard Vantage Point Counseling client. Therapy and counseling services will also be provided utilizing a Brief-Solution Focused Therapy Model. This will help students deal with symptoms of anxiety and depression that does not require a long-term commitment (typically 6-8 visits).  

"Many students consider counseling or therapy services, but do not seek this out because they are concerned that it will cost too much money," says Salas. "However, because of the high-stress that often is correlated with participating in college courses, many of the individuals who are a part of this population could benefit from such services." Because Salas recognizes the importance of manage symptoms of stress while in college, he hopes that offering such a program will encourage students to participate in therapy before symptoms get out-of-control.

To combat the feelings of depression and anxiety that many students feel, Vantage Point provides  counseling and therapy that is focused on the thoughts that prevent individuals from feeling how they want to feel.

This will help these individuals find ways to handle stress and anxiety associated with the expectations of being a student. It can also helps students deal with the sadness and depression that can come from adjusting to a new city, trying to gain the acceptance of peers, and dealing with relationship issues while in school.
