Family Relationships
A family relationship can be defined as any combination of filiation or conjugal relationships that join two people directly or through a third party. Conjugality is defined in this census as a de facto cohabitation, thus independent of the legal marital status situation.
We here at Rising Potential Counseling recognize that there are going to be times in which the family is going to struggle in communicating and seeing eye-to-eye; we can assist the family in healing while still taking a Person-Centered and Solution Focused therapeutic approach to ensure that the family as a whole is understood and made to feel validated and seen.
Identity Crisis
A. Personal psychosocial conflict, especially in adolescence that involves confusion about one's social role and often a sense of loss of continuity to one's personality
B. A state of confusion in an institution or organization regarding its nature or direction
C. In psychology, identity crisis is a stage theory of identity development where it involves resolving a conflict over the eight stages of the lifespan. German psychologist Erik Erikson coined the term.
LGBTQA+
A. lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning (one's sexual or gender identity), intersex, and asexual/aromantic/agender.
B. The acronym "LGBT" has long been used to refer to the vast number of sexual orientations and gender identities that don't fall under the hetero- and cis-normative umbrella that society insists on viewing as humanity's default setting. However, the preferred acronym has been undergoing some changes in recent years, expanding to "LGBTQA+." However, while most people are familiar with what each of the letters in LGBT stands for — lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans — not everyone knows what LGBTQA+ means.

Crisis Intervention
Crisis intervention is an immediate and short-term emergency response to mental, emotional, physical, and behavioral distress. Crisis interventions help restore an individual's equilibrium to their biopsychosocial functioning and minimize the potential for long-term trauma or distress. Certified crisis intervention counselors conduct many crisis interventions at hospitals, clinics, social services, drug rehab centers, or an individual's home. Crisis counseling is not intended to provide psychotherapy or similar treatment but offers a short-term intervention to help clients receive assistance, resources, stabilization, and support.
Skill Building Groups
Advanced formation or reformation of professional and personal qualities, the mastery of new ways of solving professional problems and new methods of professional thinking, overcoming negative attitudes and the inhibitory influence of experience, changing the motivational and operational sphere of professional activity, the emergence of the person himself as a subject of further training. Team building refers to the activities undertaken by groups of people to increase their motivation and boost cooperation. Many people use the phrases "team-building" and "teamwork" interchangeably. However, they are two distinct concepts. While team building emphasizes the creation of groups, teamwork emphasizes the functions of these groups.
