Each of us may have overwhelming feelings and require assistance at some point in our lives. More than 30 million Americans, according to the National Institute of Mental Health, require assistance in coping with feelings and issues that seem out of their control. These issues can include issues with a marriage or relationship, a family situation, or coping with problems such as losing a job, dealing with the death of a loved one, depression, stress, burnout, or substance abuse. These losses and stresses of regular life can occasionally be extremely crippling.
