A counselor who counsel's sex offenders I have to do this once a month condition of parole for 1 hou

Unfortunately, I don't have the necessary experience to provide you with the type of counseling you are seeking at this time. My experiences, although varied, have not been in this particular area.

I would encourage and recommend exploring the profiles of other Counselors who may be better suited to accommodate, assist and support you with your therapeutic goals. When exploring Counselors, it may also be helpful to the Counselor to have additional details about what you are interested in gaining from the counseling experience. This way Counselors will be able to identify and determine the possibility of being a good match.

There are Counselors in the field who are Certified and trained to provide this type of therapy on a regular basis. I'd also encourage you to connect with your PO who may be able to provide you with a list of Counselor resources. Additionally, you might conduct an internet search using the specifics for the therapy you are seeking in order to locate appropriate Counselors. Likely, there are also groups that may be available in your local area and/or in an online format that may meet your needs. Some other thoughts relate to ensuring that the Clinician with whom you schedule meets the guidelines/requirements which could likely be accomplished by discussing the matter with your PO. This will require the identification of specific rather than generalized goals and perhaps obtaining prior approval of the therapeutic connection. Oftentimes, legal situations necessitate unique parameters and thus require ensuring that you are on the right path with regard to those expectations.

In closing, thank you for reaching out to ask this question. It requires courage to seek counseling and follow through with the process beyond simply making the initial appointment. However, I am confident that you will find and connect with a Clinician with the knowledge base and expertise to guide you through processing, developing new skills, coping, and completing your requirements. Counseling is effective when one applies the strategies, recommendations, and skills in real-time situations.

Please continue to explore every avenue for achieving your identified goals. I hope that the information I've shared is helpful and useful.
