Counseling involves sharing sensitive, personal and private information that may at times be distressing. It has both benefits and risks. Possible risks include the experience of uncomfortable feelings (such as helplessness, anger, frustration, anxiety, sadness, loneliness, or guilt) or the feeling of completely lost in your life.
Potential benefits include significant reduction in feelings of distress, better problem solving and coping skills, resolutions of specific problems, clarity towards goal achievement, improved mood, improved social interaction and improved psychological well-being.
Given the nature of counseling, it is difficult to predict what will happen, but I will do my best to make sure you will be able to figure out your career path and experience most benefits of counseling.
The outcome of counseling is often positive; however, the level of satisfaction for any individual is unpredictable. Your Counselor is available to support you throughout the counseling process.
