Q: What is counseling?
A: In counseling sessions you get the opportunity to talk about your problems with a well-trained professional who will listen attentively and without judgement.  Questions may be asked to help you think about the problem in a new way.  The goal of counseling is to help you find options and make choices to either solve or better manage problems and feel better.
Q: Why should I or a friend go to counseling?
A: Most people go to counseling when their usual way of handling problems is not working.  It may be that talking with friends or family is not as helpful as it has been in the past, or that the problem is about friends and family.
 
Others go to counseling to speak with someone objective who is not involved in their life.
 
Most people who go to counseling are experiencing some uncomfortable or unpleasant feelings, such as sadness, anxiety, anger, uncertainty, or just a general sense of being overwhelmed.
 
Some people with ongoing challenges (depression, anxiety, or addiction, for example) choose to stay in  counseling to maintain their recovery.
 
Sometimes people have been struggling with problems for some time but they only go to counseling once the problems get in the way of their ability to get things done day to day.
