BREAKING BOUNDARIES
Changing The Mental Health Stingma
01
Unlocking "You"
Above all else, our goal at EQ Counseling is to help you unlock the best version of yourself, and give yourself every opportunity to take on the world at your best.
02
A New Mindset
The unfortunate reality is that our society has decided to look down upon those who struggle with their mental health- particularly men. It’s viewed as a failure on the individual who is not simply able to “just be happy” when in reality they are undergoing some issues that those on the outside cannot understand or even know about. It’s exactly this label that society has placed around mental health that we set out to fix.
03
Redefining Wellness
When a physical injury occurs, we go to a doctor’s office, or in serious cases, to the emergency room, to fix the problem. A physical health issue requires attention from medical professionals, and mental health issues are no different. Your mental wellness is a part of what comprises you as an individual, and when your mental state is suffering, it must be addressed.
04
Normalizing Imperfection
Our first priority when working with an individual is to assure them that it is perfectly understandable for a person’s mental health to not always be in an ideal state and make sure that they understand that seeking assistance from mental health experts is a commendable action for them to take. In fact, by making the effort to seek professional counseling, an individual is actually helping us fight this stigma surrounding mental health, and in turn, helping make the world a better place.
