Counseling Services People choose to participate in counseling for a variety of reasons. For most, the purpose of counseling is to generally improve one’s overall quality of life by addressing issues of concern, such as anxiety, depression, marital difficulties, addiction, or grief. Individual experiences in counseling can be different, depending on factors such as the personalities of the client and therapist, the mode of counseling techniques that the therapist utilizes, the issue(s) being addressed, and the amount of effort that the client puts forth. Your initial sessions with Encourage Counseling Services will involve an evaluation of your needs. By the end of the evaluation, your therapist will be able to offer you some first impressions of what your work will include and a treatment plan to follow, if you decide to continue with therapy. You should evaluate this information along with your own opinions of whether you feel comfortable working with us. Therapy involves a commitment of time, money, and energy, so you should be very careful about the therapist you select. If you have questions about our procedures, you should discuss them with your therapist whenever they arise. If you wish, we will willingly provide you with referrals to other mental health professionals for a second opinion, as you always have the right to choose to continue to receive counseling services from us or to ask to be referred to someone else. Following the assessment period, which is typically one to two sessions, one 50-minute session will be scheduled per week. Sessions will occur at a time you and your therapist agree upon, although sessions may be scheduled more or less frequently according to your needs. It is important to note that if you are late to your appointment, your session will still end at the originally scheduled time. It should be noted that therapy can have benefits, as well as potential risks. Since therapy oftentimes involves discussing difficult aspects of your life, you may experience uncomfortable feelings such as sadness, guilt, anger, frustration, loneliness, and helplessness. Making changes in your beliefs or behaviors can be anxiety provoking, and can be disruptive to your current relationships. However, therapy has also been shown to have many benefits. For example, therapy often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and significant reductions in feelings of distress. Of course, every individual’s experience is different and there are no guarantees of what you will experience. It is important that you carefully consider whether these risks are worth the benefits to you of changing. Most people who take these risks find that therapy is helpful. Finally, the therapeutic relationship is ended after the last scheduled appointment, or when so stated by you or your therapist. As the client, you typically will be the one who decides when therapy will end, which usually occurs once you and your therapist agree that you have met your treatment goals. However, there are a few exceptions. One such exception is if your therapist does not believe that he/she is professionally able to meet your needs. This could possibly be because your therapist does not believe that he/she holds the proper training and skills to help you, due to the type of presenting problem that you have. In such a situation your therapist will refer you to another therapist who may be able to meet your counseling needs.
