Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Counseling is a process of helping individuals, couples, families, or groups to improve their emotional, mental, and behavioral well-being by exploring their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors through a therapeutic relationship.

Counseling can help individuals address and overcome a range of emotional, mental, and behavioral health concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, stress, and more. It can also provide individuals with new perspectives, coping strategies, and the support needed to work through personal challenges.

The terms counseling and therapy are often used interchangeably. Both involve a process of exploring personal thoughts, feelings, and behaviors through a therapeutic relationship. However, therapy may be a more intensive form of counseling and may involve longer-term treatment.

During counseling sessions, individuals can expect to engage in open and honest discussions with their counselor. The counselor will ask questions, listen, and provide feedback, support, and guidance. The goal of counseling is to help individuals identify and overcome their challenges, develop coping strategies, and achieve greater emotional, mental, and behavioral well-being.

The length of counseling can vary depending on the individual's specific needs and goals. Some individuals may only need a few sessions, while others may benefit from ongoing counseling over several months or longer.
