Counseling & Psychotherapy

Clinical counselors work with individuals, groups, couples, and families. They assist in evaluating and treating mental and physical states, addictions, and behavioral problems by addressing underlying emotions using a variety of psychotherapeutic techniques. In short, a counselor unfolds and finds what makes you "you" over time in order to empower you from the core.

Licensed counselors have a master's or doctoral degree in mental health counseling, 3,000 supervised clinical hours, and have passed multiple credentialing exams.

Every counselor is different. It is important to find a licensed counselor that has both the trainings and values to support you fully. Take your time to investigate local counselors in your area.

Get ready to feel heard, seen, and understood. The first few sessions with your counselor will simply be unfolding your story. Don't worry, your counselor will act as a guide in the beginning by asking the correct questions to navigate the details. In future sessions, your counselor will use their toolbox of psychotherapeutic techniques to reach root emotions and triggering causations. While uncovering your though processes, your counselor will continually offer empowerment through life exercises and alternative perspectives of the challenges in front of and behind you.

Long story short: Counselors tend to focus on specific issues and situations that have occurred in the past weeks to months. Whereas psychotherapists explore past issues that are likely contributing to your present day problems (ex: childhood family dynamics or traumas). That being said, there is significant overlap between the two.
