Counseling
How many counselors does it take to change a light bulb?
None. The light bulb has to want to change. And the results of your counseling experience depend directly on how badly you want to get healthy. Our counselees are given specific homework assignments to complete between sessions. These carefully-selected activities are not overwhelming, but they will challenge you to grow to the next level.
You should be able to measure the results of any counseling.
The homework activities also serve as a practical test that allows you to measure your progress.
Our goal is to support you as you recover and become healthy
We are not interested in seeing how many sessions you will attend so we can earn a fee. In fact, we screen those requesting counseling to determine their openness to making the necessary changes. We sometimes suggest that a counselee carefully evaluate his willingness to change before scheduling further appointments.
It's all about showing you where you have the choices and power to change your life!
