Supportive Counseling
It is always nice to find a place where we can connect with others. It is also important to have someone we can talk with, share our concerns with, someone who is there for us….SOMEONE we can trust. Life brings with it many ups and downs. When we are helped to understand our emotions, we are empowered to make healthier decisions. SNAP of Eastern Queens provides Supportive Counseling for older adults. Speaking with one of our Social Workers is the first step in a journey you don’t have to take alone.
