While there are no guaranteed outcomes to the counseling process, many people find it helpful.
Counseling is a process and is likely to be most effective through an active, working partnership.
During an initial meeting with a counselor, you can discuss your concerns, including any you may have about the counseling process itself. The counselor will seek to understand your concerns and expectations and will then suggest possibilities to meet your needs. Information shared by you will be treated confidentially. Ordinarily, counselors can only release information about you with your permission. Appointments typically last 50 minutes.
