The Counseling Center for Women was founded in Rochester, Michigan in 1992. The Center has a friendly, homelike atmosphere and has been a place of help and comfort for many women over the last twenty years. The location of our office was chosen for the privacy it allows our clients, as well as the feeling of being a part of the vital downtown Rochester community.

Our philosophy is based on the concept of empowerment. The staff is committed to helping women identify strengths, facilitate personal growth, and ultimately take control over their lives. Even though the Center focuses primarily on issues concerning women, we also work with men, couples, adolescents and children.

There's a Hole In My Sidewalk
by Portia Nelson

  • I walk down the street.
  • There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
  • I fall in.
  • I am lost...I am hopeless.
    • It's not my fault.
  • It takes forever to find a way out.


  • I walk down the same street.
  • There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
    • I pretend I don't see it.
    • I fall in again.
  • I can't believe I am in the same place.
    • But, it isn't my fault.
  • It still takes a long time to get out.


  • I walk down the same street.
  • There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
    • I see it is there.
    • I still fall in...it's a habit.
      • My eyes are open.
      • I know where I am.
  • It is my fault.
  • I get out immediately.


  • I walk down the same street.
    • There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
  • I walk around it.


  • I walk down another street.
