Helping our Community, Peggy Crosby Center
Written By: Wiley Sloan | Issue: 2018/07 - July
As many of you know, the Peggy Crosby Center building at its inception housed Highlands’ original hospital.
Once the hospital moved to its present location, the building took on a new role. It’s now a center for area non-profits and serves the community through its tenants. Two of these tenants include counselors addressing the mental health needs of all people on the Plateau.
Licensed Professional Counselors Anne Koenig and Tracy Stribling are a true blessing to our community. Tracy has recently moved to Highlands and is excited to continue the counseling work that she began while living in Arkansas. She finds that her patients respond favorably to her dog, Charlie, who is her constant companion, even during sessions with patients. Anne has been practicing for almost 20 years and has moved her practice from Atlanta to Highlands full-time.
Both Anne and Tracy see patients of all ages. To better serve their clients both counselors strive to innovate and stay abreast of the latest techniques. They have recently included Play Therapy into their repertoires. This unique method of therapy is a well-recognized treatment protocol. By using “dolls” as a visual tool to help clients better process their experiences and develop more effective strategies for managing their worlds, clients benefit more readily. With Anne’s level of education and extensive experience, she can work with Tracy to optimize the treatments for her patients. What a wonderful benefit this is all their patients.
Those of you who know the Crosby Center know that all tenants benefit from the below-market rents. These affordable rents benefit their patients because it allows them to offer more reasonable rates. PCC is fulfilling its mission of offering cost-effective office space to businesses with needed services for the people of our area.
