Counseling Relationship. The counseling relationship is a professional process intended to help you resolve personal challenges, adapt to life changes, or explore your current life situation. Ways in which counseling can help you include: identifying goals and developing a plan to achieve these goals, overcoming or learning to live with a mental illness or disability, changing a behavior, or seeking support. I may employ a variety of educational and therapeutic techniques to help you achieve your personal counseling goals, and these may include out of session counseling exercises or homework. Some clients can accomplish a great deal in a short period of time. Those with complex issues or histories will require more time. Therapy is often difficult and challenging work. One of the most important joint responsibilities is communication. It is important to take an active role in counseling, to be as open and honest as possible, to make appropriate efforts outside of sessions, and to feedback to me about how you think our counseling is going. If at any time during the therapeutic process you are dissatisfied with my services, please let me know immediately so that we can explore the problem together. If I feel that my services are not or will not be appropriate for you, or that our work is complete, I will discuss my concerns with you. I reserve the right to conclude our counseling work, or to refer you to a more appropriate provider, at any time. I will do so only after all necessary communication with you. Treatment is optional and not required and you have the right to terminate treatment at any time. I ask that you discuss your reasons for termination with me so that we can both learn from the counseling relationship.
