HOW CAN COUNSELING HELP ME?
Several benefits are available from participating in counseling. As a counselor, I offer emotional support and guidance, suggest new problem-solving skills, and promote healthy coping strategies for issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, issues from childhood, grief, trauma, stress management, parenting concerns and emotional blocks.
Many people also find that counselors can be a tremendous asset for managing relationships, personal growth, family concerns, marriage issues, and the stress and hassles of daily life. Counselors provide a fresh perspective on a difficult problem or point you in the direction of a solution.
A counselor’s office is a safe place where you are free to express private thoughts and struggles. Friends and family can provide excellent emotional support, but as a counselor, I can give you a trained and more impartial perspective on your life. The benefits you obtain from counseling depend on how well you invest in the process and put into practice what you learn. Some of the benefits available from counseling include:
- Attaining a new understanding of yourself, your goals and values
- Uncovering and healing emotional wounds and traumas
- Discovering skills for improving your relationships
- Finding resolution to important issues or concerns
- Learning new ways to cope with stress and anxiety
- Managing anger, grief, depression, and other emotional pressures
- Improving listening and communications skills
- Changing old behavior patterns and developing new ones
- Developing new ways to solve problems in your family or marriage
- Obtaining a healthier view of yourself and boosting self-confidence
- Becoming a better parent
