Serenity is not freedom from the storm, but peace amid the storm.
— anonymous

Life offers us a wide range of challenges. Whether they are issues we are just recently dealing with or they are problems that have been there for years, it often helps to talk to someone else to get some clarity about the issues that we face. At Serenity Now Counselling Services, Inc., there are services available to help people struggling with a large range of issues. If you have ever wondered why you can not understand what’s bothering you, there may be some additional insights that come out of an impartial observer to your experiences. The quote above was chosen because it is often hoped that things will all be “fixed” by getting some help. However, like the monster in the closet when you are a little child, counselling offers the ability for people to shed a light on the monster and realize it is just a hanger or a shirt. The monster no longer exists when the lights go back out even though those objects that haunted the child still remain there because now the child knows what really underlies that fear of the monster. Thus, we are never free from the storm but with some counselling, there may be new insights that will help create more peacefulness throughout the challenges that arise everyday.

Serenity Now was chosen as the name of the company not to promise results in a short period of time but to encourage people to realize that although their lives may have previously been characterized by suffering or chaos, they have the opportunity to understand how to live differently in the present. Also, it is important to highlight the necessity of living in the present. So often we worry about the past or what will happen in the future that we ignore our experience in the present. Although some of our experiences in the past and our expectations for the future inform our present experience, paying attention to the present moment can give us additional insights and help us live to our truest potential.
