Life brings challenges, often when we least expect them
Working through these challenges in a healthy way is important to our mental and behavioral health. Some of the most common reasons individuals experience anxiety, depression, anger, or recurrent problems in their relationships is because they haven’t yet worked through a bigger issue that may be difficult to navigate without help. Our counselors at Red Cedar Counseling work with individuals, couples, and families to help them to develop new skills for working through difficulties and new solutions to long-term problems.

FAMILY COUNSELING
Having relationships with our family, friends, and significant others is what drives us forward in difficult times and brings us joy. So much of our lives are spent focused on the people closest to us, yet we oftentimes find ourselves struggling to coexist.

Our therapists work with families to listen and understand the problems before developing a practical solution for everyone. We aim to provide non-judgmental and emotionally focused family counseling and for the greater Lansing area.

ADOLESCENT & CHILD COUNSELING
The child therapists at Red Cedar Counseling offer trusted and caring child counseling sessions to support your children through difficult situations. Children and teenagers often don’t want to communicate with their parents about the difficulties that are going on in their lives, but their emotions may change and reflect that something isn’t right. Our child counselors are compassionate and develop trust with each child so that they feel comfortable speaking openly and honestly about how they feel. Then we work to help them process their feelings and develop practical strategies for how to walk through their difficulties in a healthy way. We use a variety of different techniques depending on the age of the child, so that they are engaged and comfortable with our child therapists. We communicate closely with the parents or guardians as well so that they are informed about the development of their child. We understand that adolescent and child counseling should be handled with care and compassion, which is the main focus of our child therapists here at Red Cedar Counseling.
ANGER MANAGEMENT COUNSELING
Anger is a strong response that stems from disappointment, frustration, pain, and/or fear. Oftentimes when someone has difficulties controlling their anger response, it’s because there are underlying emotional stressors or situational stressors that haven’t been resolved. Anger management counseling helps people to learn to identify the sources of their anger and how to resolve the underlying reasons. Learning to express anger in a healthier way is essential to anger management counseling, as individuals can often damage personal and professional relationships because of an angry outburst. Anger management therapy at Red Cedars Relationship Counseling helps people to understand the early signs of their anger, and learn to respond to it and control it so that anger does not control them.
