At Encouraging Insight Counseling Services, we believe that no one should have to face life's challenges alone. We partner with each client in a compassionate, one-on-one therapeutic relationship, offering a safe, confidential, and supportive environment where healing can begin.

Because every person is unique, we take the time to truly understand you—your experiences, strengths, challenges, and goals. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, we tailor therapy to your individual needs, helping you navigate life's difficulties, build resilience, and move toward hope, healing, and lasting personal growth.

At Encouraging Insight, we recognize that every family has its own unique strengths and challenges. Our role is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where each member feels heard, respected, and valued. Through compassionate guidance, we help families improve communication, deepen understanding, resolve conflicts, and strengthen their connections with one another.

By working together, families can navigate life's challenges, heal from difficult experiences, and build healthier patterns that foster resilience, trust, and lasting growth. Our goal is to empower families to not only overcome current struggles but also develop the confidence and skills needed to face future challenges together with hope and unity.

Adolescents experience many physical, emotional and social changes as they grow from childhood to young adulthood.  They develop their own opinions, begin to depend less on their parents, and are increasingly influenced by their peers.  They become more concerned about the way they look and dress and they gain a stronger sense of right and wrong as they develop their own value system.  With so much going on it is quite normal for them to experience sadness, overwhelming feelings or fluctuating moods. However, when these feelings or moods lead to low self-esteem, or a sense of hopeless or helplessness, there are positive ways to help them grow through the change.

Laura Benslay also provides coaching through the Encouraging Insight Practice. Coaching is a highly individualized plan in which Laura collaborates with the client to first identify personal needs. Next Laura works to create a plan based on goal setting with specific steps and strategies to assist and encourage clients towards their goals. Many clients who have seen Laura for mental health therapy go on to seek out additional coaching after they have completed mental health therapy. However, Laura also sees many clients for coaching support who have never required or desired mental health therapy. If you are having challenges identifying, setting, or reaching goals you feel help you reach your greatest potential, reach out and let us set up a time for you to meet with Laura to see if a coaching practice would be a good fit for you.
