What is Counseling?

Counseling is the process of working through a disturbing, ongoing problem that overwhelms a person's abilities and resources to cope. For someone to come to counseling, the problem is generally interfering with their relationships, their enjoyment of life and/or their feelings of being productive. An important part of counseling is establishing a trusting relationship with a mental health professional who can collaborate with a client to help him or her resolve their struggles.
