What Professional Counseling Really Is

Print on Demand

A counselor helps you identify a problem area, explore factors which may be contributing to your difficulty, and provides options for you to consider.

 

Counseling is not something that’s done to you. On the contrary, you are called upon to play a very active role in getting better and form a team with your therapist to work toward agreed upon goals. A therapist may have you keep a daily journal, read personal improvement books, practice new behaviors, etc. The goal in counseling is to draw upon your strengths to help you resolve your problems. Counseling is a way of helping you help yourself.
