Welcome!

Discher and Associates, Life Center has been working with individuals and families in Renville and Alexandria, Minnesota for nearly 10 years. We would like to thank you for trusting us with your care. Our mission at the Life Center is to help people find hope when it is gone and find solutions when one has almost given up, stabilize symptoms that impair daily living, and reduce other health risks. Our office provides individual, couples and family counseling. We also offer professional psychological testing to assess intellectual, behavioral and/or personality functioning, clarify diagnosis, and identify learning disabilities or attention difficulties. At Discher and Associates, Life Center we firmly believe that therapy is an important part of a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to health and wellness. Living in a world with so many complex personalities, relationships, situations and differences is not easy. We believe it takes strength and courage to reach out for an extra hand when life is overwhelming. Counseling can help with:

• Emotional distress from anxiety, depression, anger, grief and loss or trauma
• Family conflicts or parenting concerns
• Problems for children related to school, home or community
• Youth development regarding family, peer, school and identity
• Couples' relationships
• Individual or family adjustment following divorce or remarriage
• Support in the midst of major life decisions or transitions
