April is Counseling Awareness Month: Let’s Talk About It

April 16, 2025 by Mitchell Barnett

At Starfish Family Services, we believe that mental health is just as important as physical health and that asking for help is a sign of strength. Counseling Services Awareness Month, observed every April, is an opportunity to shine a light on the power of counseling and the difference it can make in people’s lives.

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, navigating a major life transition, coping with the impacts of stress, or feeling overwhelmed by daily stressors, counseling can be a lifeline. It’s a space to be seen, heard, and supported.

Everyone faces challenges. No one has to face them alone.

Counseling can support individuals through a wide range of concerns, including:

  • Depression and anxiety
  • Substance use disorder
  • Grief and loss
  • Relationship issues
  • Parenting stress
  • Financial pressures
  • Burnout and workplace stress

At Starfish, we know that healing doesn’t happen in isolation. Our therapists walk alongside clients to help them explore their emotions, strengthen coping skills, and build hope for the future.

More than Head Start: We offer adult services, too.

Many people know Starfish for our early childhood and family-centered work, but we’re here for adults, too. Our counseling services are available to all, whether you’re a parent navigating your own mental health needs, a young adult seeking support, or someone simply looking for a place to process life’s ups and downs.

We offer:

  • Individual, couples, and family counseling
  • Virtual and in-person options
  • Medicaid and private pay options

Counseling is for everyone. You don’t have to be in crisis to reach out.

You might just need someone to talk to. Someone who listens without judgment. Someone who helps you make sense of your feelings and find a path forward. This April, we invite you to take the first step. Whether for yourself or someone you care about, Starfish is here.

Learn more or make an appointment: Visit our Behavioral Health Services Page or call 888-355-5433.

Let’s keep breaking down the stigma. Let’s normalize asking for help. Let’s celebrate the life-changing power of counseling.
