Why Counseling?
The decision to begin counseling is an important one. Counseling may help you with a variety of concerns, including personal issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, grief or relationship problems. You can gain support in taking a more active role in what direction your career is taking. With counseling you can develop a more full understanding of your personal identity, and future.
In order to benefit fully from counseling, the following recommendations are offered:
Be specific about the concerns that led to your decision to seek counseling
Establish with your counselor desired goals for your work
Discuss your progress with your counselor as you go along
Participate actively, and be as open and honest as possible
Tell your counselor if you don't think you're being helped
Successful counseling is a valuable endeavor that requires your commitment to the process.
The more actively involved you are, the more effective counseling will be for you.
