Individual counseling is basically a collaborative effort between
you and your counselor. Our goal is to provide an open, supportive,
and confidential environment for you to address the issues that
are concerning you.
Individual counseling offers a chance for you (or you and your child)
to sit down and talk with a counselor about worries and concerns.
The counselor may ask some questions about you and your family and
help you figure out what is bothering you the most. Finding out
how you have resolved problems in the past, including what is or
is not working now, is useful in starting the process of helping
you. Then you can help yourself and your family. The counselor can
help you sort out the most pressing needs first. As those concerns
are settled, you will move on to less pressing issues. You may talk
about a number of ways to solve a problem before you decide what
to try first. For some, just talking about problems may not seem
to be as helpful as doing something to solve the problem. Problem-solving
can be affected by many factors. These include:
• your feelings about the situation
• your personal traits and qualities, as well as those of
your family members
• relationships between family members
• your ability to be flexible and to try new things
