Counseling for Adults

I provide individual counseling services for adults who are struggling with life changes and issues, including job stress, singleness, and other life transitions. I specialize in helping those who struggle with stress, self-esteem, anxiety and depression.

I also work with adults who are experiencing test anxiety. If you are anxious about taking a major exam - MCAT, LSAT, GRE, real estate, or any other licensing exam or certification - please call me. I can teach you test taking strategies, relaxation skills, and other techniques which will build your confidence and improve your chance of success.

If you are stressed about the economy, worried about your job, or looking for relief from you pain and wanting to regain your sense of self and purpose, please give me a call at 703-330-6088 or email me at jamathurman@lifechanginggrowth.com.

In my work with adults struggling with career, relationship, or self esteem/depression/anxiety issues, I use a variety of counseling techniques, most often cognitive-behavioral. We talk often about thinking patterns and how our thinking affects our actions. We practice identifying negative thoughts and replacing them with positive ones. I often recommend books or workbooks that help clarify and reinforce coping skills and techniques addressed in counseling. I ask most clients to complete assessment tools, including those that measure depression, anxiety, and anger levels, or career interest inventories or personality tests if appropriate.

Many clients see results in 10-12 counseling sessions, however most choose to continue therapy for up to a year or more as they identify their strengths, make positive life changes, set boundaries, improve communication skills, and strengthen their organizational and decision-making skills. Please call me at 703-330-6088 for more information on counseling in Manassas and Fairfax for teenagers and adults with test anxiety, stress, depression, sleep problems, or other issues.
