This article is one of a series featuring tenants of the Peggy Crosby Center and how they serve our community. 

Despite its history of nearly 100 years, some folks are still uncomfortable or unfamiliar with the process of psychotherapy and view seeking help with their feelings or life issues as weakness.

It's a sign of our humanity to need to express to someone else our thoughts and feelings, our fears and hopes for a better life. It is a sign of strength and courage to recognize when learning more about yourself and your relationships might be helpful. This holds true in all ages and stages of life.

Though therapy can indeed seem fearful and remains a mystery to many, it is a solace and a comfort for many others who find it to be a safe, hospitable place, both emotionally and physically, where even those things that we fear most can be dealt with through empathy and understanding. The competent and experienced counselors of The Counseling and Psychotherapy Center of Highlands can be trusted to respect your concerns, to create an environment that ensures confidentiality, and to guide you as you address life concerns. 

Our community and everyone who seeks counseling at CPCH benefit because the Peggy Crosby Center provides a safe and confidential environment. The recent extensive building renovations have enhanced these qualities and breathed new life into a historic building. Reasonable rents from PCC and generous donors make possible the sliding fee scale. The services of CPCH are available to any who desire to find a place of comfort and trust. Your calls are welcomed at (828) 482-0304. The Peggy Crosby Center is a non-profit organization established to provide office space for other non-profits and start-up organizations. Rental rates are held as low as possible to allow the tenants to use more of their funds to serve the community.
