What is Professional Counseling?

Professional Counseling entails a helping relationship in which a counselor and a client work together to resolve a problem, change behavior or foster personal growth and awareness. Although you may have a number of helping relationships with friends and family, the counseling relationship is different in a number of ways:
 

• The counseling relationship is not reciprocal. Your counselor’s responsibility is to focus on YOU, your concerns and to provide you with support and guidance.
• Your counselor is a trained professional in techniques and interventions that are designed to help you cope with or resolve your presenting concern(s).
• The counseling relationship is confidential. Unlike your friends and family, your counselor is ethically bound to confidentiality unless you are an immediate danger to yourself or others.

During your intake session, your counselor will gather critical information about yourself and presenting concerns and, with your input, will develop an individualized treatment plan for you. This treatment plan will outline type of treatment, length of treatment and treatment goals. Individual, Couple and Family Sessions typically last 50 minutes while Group sessions last 90 minutes. Our sessions with children depend on their age and most often last between 20 and 50 minutes.

At Espère Counseling and Consulting Services we treat a variety of mental health concerns and disorders including:

• Anxiety
• Depression & Other Mood Disorders
• Trauma
