Seeking help can be challenging, anxiety-provoking, and confusing. Many questions might come to mind when considering entering therapy. Below are questions that we frequently receive from individuals regarding counseling services. If you have any further questions regarding therapy, please feel free to contact us directly by email and/or phone.
Counseling is the process of collaboratively exploring the complex issues that are causing an individual distress as well as working with that individual to find solutions, coping techniques and insight to counter those issues.
Counseling can be helpful in that the counselor represents an outlet as well as an objective mediator by which an individual can sort through complex emotions and problems within their life. Together with the counselor, an individual might develop insight and find solutions to their respective problems.
We cannot guarantee that we will help you as that would be unethical. We cannot say for sure as you are an important factor in the process of change. Change cannot happen without you. What we can guarantee is that it is our intent to help you and we will try our best to do so.
Counseling sessions are typically 45 minutes to an hour long.
We are unable to prescribe clients medication as we are not psychiatrists. However, we are more than happy to provide you with a referral to a psychiatrist.
