New to counseling? Counseling is a process of self-discovery that can help people learn how to deal more effectively with situations in their lives such as depression, addiction and substance abuse, stress, problems with self-esteem, grief/loss, issues related to mental and emotional health, relational problems, issues in their community, state, country. The therapy/counseling process helps people get “unstuck” or change in ways they feel will enhance their lives. Through the development of insight and increased self awareness, people are able to gain a better understanding of their own behavior and the issues, feelings and events that motivate them. The benefits of therapy are often an improvement in health, well-being, self-confidence, communication skills, emotional regulation, relationships, self-esteem, assertiveness vs. aggressiveness, healthy interdependence v. excessive independence/dependence. People of any age can grow and profit from the experience of therapy. There is no “wrong” time to begin! Counseling is a type of learning about oneself, one’s feelings, and one’s relationships with others. As in any learning environment, individuals will benefit most if they participate actively, attend sessions on time and are open and honest with the counselor. In turn, the counselor will listen to the individual’s concerns, assist him/her in setting and reaching appropriate goals and will respect his/her confidentiality. Counselors abide by the ethical principles of the American Counselors Association and individuals can expect to have services delivered in a professional, legal and ethical manner.
