What is Counseling?

Psychotherapy is an interpersonal process which provides a curative, healing experience in a warm, caring setting. The therapist forms an alliance with the individual, couple, or family to resolve conflict and provide an atmosphere for personal growth.  When we are happy, we function better on the job, in our family roles, and with our friendships. Family Counseling enables and empowers you to regain control of your life. Sessions may last a few weeks to several months. Couples and families seeking to overcome situational crises or chronic maladaptive behaviors can be assisted by this process. 

Most psychotherapy and counseling sessions focus on problem solving and are goal oriented. Often, Psychotherapy will teach people about their disorder or situation and during the process, the counselor may suggest alternative coping styles, ways to improve communication patterns, and identify the difficulties with inter-relationships.
