Counseling is for everyone. There is no problem that is too small to work through with a counselor. Potential benefits include: greater self-acceptance and self-esteem, improved communication and interpersonal skills, the ability to change self-defeating thoughts and behaviors, better expression and management of emotions, relief from depression, anxiety and other mental health conditions, capability to manage stress effectively, and enhanced problem-solving and conflict resolution abilities.

The purpose of counseling is to help clients achieve their personal goals, gain greater insight into their lives, increase effective communication and to develop more meaningful relationships with others.

Counselors can help with transitional, developmental, and situational life stressors. No problem is too small, or too big to bring to counseling.

The counselor will collect background information and discuss policies and procedures of the counseling practice at the beginning of the session. The client and counselor can use the remainder of the session to explore current concerns and begin building a therapeutic relationship.

Frequency and duration of sessions will be discussed during the initial session.

All counselors are to abide by the ethical standards set forth by the American Counseling Association. Information shared in sessions will remain confidential. There are limits to confidentiality, which are carefully communicated with each client during the initial session. Counselors are mandated reporters, which means that confidentiality will be broken if the counselor has sufficient reasons to believe that the client is a danger to him/herself, or to someone else. Counselors are also required to report suspected abuse of children and eldery persons. Minors, under the age of 18, also have limits to confidentiality.

Most insurance plans do cover all or a portion of counseling services. Please check with your insurance plan to see what are benefits include.
