About We Care Counseling Center
"In
the short time we are going to spend together we do not expect miracles,
although they sometimes happen. Through the use of lectures, groups, scheduled
one on ones, and outside speakers, we hope to move your through a process
of guided self-help. The staff does not intend to do something to you or
for you. Rather, this program is a time for you to make changes you will
find helpful in beginning and maintaining a lifestyle which promotes
happiness for you and for those around you."
