the Compass: January 2013

Thursday, January 10, 2013

Welcome

Welcome to the Compass at Ganey Counseling and Consultation. At GCC our three counseling professionals work together to provide quality and individualized counseling in the Bucks County area. Feel free to explore the Compass, our website, or our Facebook pageto learn more about Dr. Kevin Ganey and the therapists who work alongside him at GCC.

As we strive to provide care to our clients inside our office we have developed the desire to do more. We want to provide information and help to those outside of our office. Through the Compass we are hoping to do so. In the future as we begin posting we will share valuable information we have learned through our own studies, experiences in counseling, and in our own lives. We will share overviews of different disorders such as Major Depressive Disorder or Borderline Personality Disorder, tips on how to deal with stress, navigating the Holidays, relationships issues, family issues, as well as a lot more.

The Compass will also be a place where we will post resources for you in the community. We hope to feature different organizations and professionals in the area. Life, struggles, and therapy may seem ambiguous and difficult to navigate. We hope the Compass will be another resource for you and your family, whether you yourself are struggling or you know someone who is.

If you have questions feel free to call us at the office (215) 860-2525 or go to our website for more information. Thank you for checking out The Compass and be sure to follow us on blogger or "like" us on Facebook to receive blog updates!
