When life hands you the unexpected, Mountain of Change is here to help you and your child find sure footing again.
About Mountain of Change Counseling and Psychological Services
Mountain of Change Counseling and Psychological services was created in late 2023 to provide individual and parent involved therapy for children ages 0-12, teenagers ages 13-17, young adults ages 18-24, and parents. We aim to give you and your child ways to work on feeling empowered in daily life, manage the range of emotions (e.g. feeling worried, overwhelmed, or sad) that come with a medical condition/life changes, and to get closer in your relationship with each other.
