WHAT IS COUNSELING?

COUNSELING...IN A NUTSHELL

Counseling can include several types of therapy. These therapies serve to help individuals, couples and families learn new ways of solving problems so they can feel better about themselves and their relationships.

Counselors are trained to listen and help their patients understand their own thoughts and emotions. Working as a team with their patients, counselors provide tools for solving difficult emotional problems.

In marriage and family therapy, they can listen to all sides of an issue and help come up with solutions suitable to everyone.

People who are grieving, depressed or are otherwise hurting can talk to counselors when they feel they cannot turn to family or acquaintances for help or feel they have no one with whom to share their sadness.

Counselors can also help people find their way out of addictions to drugs, alocohol, food and other substances and behaviors.

To put it simply, counselors are coaches, teachers and guides. They encourage, instruct and lead the way through life's toughest issues and toward a more satisfying life.
