What is "Professional Counseling?"
Counseling is an ongoing, collaborative, confidential relationship between you and a therapist that, when working well, allows you to gain new insights on problems in your life. You work together, in a private and safe environment, to establish and agree upon goals to address these problem areas. If you're committed and engaged in therapy, it can provide new tools to cope with difficult emotions and new skills to navigate difficult relationships or situations. Sometimes you focus on immediate solutions and strategies to help, and sometimes you focus more on deeper healing within your story. While it isn't always easy or comfortable, it's an often necessary journey to experience true restoration and healing.
