What is counseling?
Counseling is a model of psychotherapy that approaches mental health from a wellness and holistic perspective. If you just read that and are wondering "what???", you likely are not the only one...keep reading and I'll break it down a bit further.
Talking to a licensed professional counselor is more than just talking to a friend. Counselors help people gain insights and achieve wellness. The most important part of counseling is the relationship that you have with your counselor. Through the development of the therapeutic relationship, we create a safe place for you to open up and feel empowered to explore new aspects of yourself. Counselors look at your whole life history, but our focus is on helping you grow to your fullest potential.
Is seeking mental health services normal?
At least one in four Americans struggle with mental health concerns on a daily basis. In fact, over 40 million Americans received mental health treatment each year. Life is not easy and we, as therapists, realize that! Counseling and psychotherapy help navigate changes and stressors that we all face from time to time.
Why choose a tele-health counselor?
If you are new to exploring counseling services, tele-health can be a great option. It allows you to access a licensed professional counselor from the comfort of your home and avoid the stress of traveling long distances and waiting in offices.
