What is Counseling?
Counseling is a process. Counselors are professionals who chose their vocation because they care about individuals' safety and wellbeing, are empathic listeners, continue their professional development, and want to help.
What does a counselor actually do and how can they help me?
• Counselors serve as neutral party who listen, create a safe place to dialogue, and make every effort to understand and guide without judgment.
• Counselors encourage one to learn about themselves and offer honest/challenging feedback.
• Counselors teach/suggest techniques and strategies to assist with discovering ways to approach life's challenges.
• Counselors can refer one to additional resources that may be helpful.
• Counselors provide a safe place to learn/practice social skills and enhance personal development.
What are the limitations of counseling?
• Counselors should not tell you what to do or try to direct your life. Think of the proverb: 'Give them a fish, and you feed them for a day. Teach them to fish, and you feed them for life.'
• Counselors guide one to learn to identify and resolve one's own challenges, rather than solving them for them.
• Some mental health challenges cannot be managed by counseling alone. So, a medication consult may be suggested.
• Benefiting from counseling does require work between counseling sessions. Complete homework, practice skills, and make efforts to try the recommendations that are offered.
• Counselors cannot be your friend after starting a therapeutic relationship. Counselors generally make every effort to get to know them better. However, ethical principles prevent the formation of relationships outside of treatment.
• Counselors trust in the therapeutic relationship resulting in reasonable outcomes.
• Counselors encourage questions, concerns, and clarifications at any time during the counseling process.

Thanks for your help. You have listened to me carefully and gave me useful suggestions. I found my insurance no longer cover my visit here, so I cannot reply your message.
