If I come to counseling, does it mean there is something wrong with me? Everyone struggles with challenges at some time in life. Sometimes the challenges can be confusing and more difficult to manage than we have ever known before. Savvy people seek out the support of those who can help them to be successful in managing the challenges they face. Often people are anxious and stressed out for a long period of time if they do not work with a professional Counselor. Professional counseling can help you acquire new ways of effectively handling your challenges. What should I expect? A Counselor can often help you to understand yourself better, gain insight into your decisions, improve your self-image and your personal relationships, and help you learn how to make new choices for living in a more effective manner. Therapists are interested in your personal, intellectual, and psychological growth and development. How long is an appointment? An appointment usually lasts 50 minutes. Appointments are typically made on the hour. If there is an emergency or if more time is needed, other arrangements can be made. What happens during the first appointment? You will meet your Counselor and spend approximately 50 minutes discussing your concerns. At the end of the first session, you and your Counselor will discuss whether there is a need for further counseling, develop goals for future counseling sessions, and schedule additional appointments as needed. |
