Personal Counseling
Personal Counseling is not easily
described in general statements.  It
varies depending on the personalities
of the therapist and client, and the
particular challenges we bring forward.
 There are many different methods we
may use to deal with the challenges
that you hope to address.  
Psychotherapy is not like a medical
doctor visit.  Instead, it calls for a very
active effort on your part.  In order for
the therapy to be most successful, you
will have to work on things we talk
about both during our sessions and at
home.

Psychotherapy can have benefits and
risks.  Since therapy often involves
discussing unpleasant aspects of your
life, you may experience uncomfortable
feelings like sadness, guilt, anger,
frustration, loneliness and
helplessness; on the other hand
psychotherapy has also been shown to
have benefits for people who go
through it.  Therapy often leads to
better relationships, solutions to
specific problems, and significant
reductions in feelings of distress.  But
there are no guarantees of what you
will experience.

Our first few sessions will involve an
evaluation of your needs.By the end of
the evaluation we will be able to offer
you some first impressions of what our
work will include and what treatment
plan to follow. If you decide to continue
with therapy.  You should evaluate this
information along with your own
opinions of whether you feel
comfortable working together.  
Therapy involves a large commitment
of time, money and energy, so you
should be very careful about the
therapist you select.  If you have
questions about our procedures, we
should discuss them whenever they
arise if your doubts persist, we will be
happy to refer you to another mental
health professional for a second
opinion.
