Services Offered at The Winokuer Center for Counseling and Healing in Charlotte, NC

For each of us, life holds a
tantalizing blend of joy and grief;
triumph and loss. However at
some time, someone you know
must face the tragedy of a
personal loss. It may be the
trauma of marital separation, grief
over the death of a loved one, the
loss of a job, or the stress
associated with the daily tasks of
living. Any of these circumstances
has the potential to tax our
strongest resources and cause us
to question our deepest thoughts.
Sadly, many people try to deal
with these difficult times all by
themselves. They feel they have
no other alternative, no one to
whom they can turn. They struggle
with the burden alone and at times
the emotional weight can be
overwhelming.
We need not be alone. When we
share our joys we increase them;
when we share our sorrows we
diminish them. Out of grief can
come growth, and when we deal
with it, there is much we can
learn.
The Winokuer Center for
Counseling and Healing is an
organization that offers education,
counseling and support services to
help individuals, couples and
families deal effectively with life's
issues, and in doing so, realize a
new richness and fullness to living.

Counseling:

Grief and Bereavement Counseling
The death of a loved one or a traumatic loss can be one of the most
difficult events of an individual, couple or family might experience.
Understanding that the grief process is normal, and that no one
needs to grieve alone, is one of the most important messages a
person can learn. As a Fellow in Thanatology, Dr. Winokuer has
helped thousands of people work through their grief and begin new
lives without their loved ones.

Individual Counseling
The Winokuer Center works with individuals (adults and
adolescents) in one-to-one counseling relationships in order to help
them improve the quality of their lives and enhance their personal
growth. We help clarify situations, explore options, and create plans
to empower people to take charge of their lives. The following are
some of the issues that we address:
Depression and Anxiety
Grief and Bereavement
Relationships
Separation and Divorce

Couples Counseling
Often times couples struggle with the issues that are a normal part
of all relationships. The issues may range from poor
communications skills to sexual dysfunction. We can help couples
examine these issues and learn the skills necessary to enhance the
quality of their relationship.
