What can you
expect in
counseling?
|
|
Counseling is a
confidential
process designed
to help you
address
concerns, come
to a greater
understanding of
self, and learn
effective
personal and
interpersonal
coping
strategies.
Counseling
involves a
relationship
between you and
a trained
counselor who
has a desire and
willingness to
help you
accomplish your
individual
goals.
Counseling
involves sharing
sensitive,
personal, and
private
information that
may at times be
distressing.
During the
course of
counseling,
there may be
periods of
increased
anxiety or
confusion. Your
counselor is
available to
support you
through this
process. |

During
counseling, you
may expect the
following. |
-
For your
counselor to
listen and be
nonjudgmental
-
To possibly
experience
painful
feelings
before feeling
better
-
For counseling
to be
confidential--others
are not
informed about
what is
discussed
during
sessions
-
For there to
be some limits
to
confidentiality
that will be
explained
during your
first visit
-
To talk about
whatever
concerns you
-
For your
counselor to
help you
explore your
concerns and
assist in
finding a
means to
fulfill your
goals
