Not at all. People who ask for help know when they need it and have the courage to reach out. Everyone needs help now and then. In our work together, I’ll help you explore and identify your strengths and how to implement them to reduce the influence of the problems you are facing.
A mental health professional can help you approach your situation in a new way, teach you skills, gain different perspectives, listen to you without judgment or expectations, and help you listen to yourself. Furthermore, counseling is completely confidential. You won't have to worry about others knowing about your personal life. Lastly, if your situation provokes a great deal of negative emotion and you've been confiding in a friend or family member, there is the risk that once you are feeling better, you could start avoiding that person, so you aren't reminded of this difficult time in your life.
Everyone's circumstances are unique, and the length of time counseling can take depends on your desire for personal development, your commitment, and the factors driving you to seek counseling in the first place.
I am so glad you are dedicated to getting the most out of your counseling sessions. Your active participation and dedication will be crucial to your success.
Medication can be effective, but it alone cannot solve all issues. Sometimes medication is needed in conjunction with counseling. Our work together is designed to explore and address the problems you are experiencing and expand on the strengths that can help you accomplish your goals.
