What is counseling?

Counseling is a process where someone asks for help due to problems of emotional nature from a professional who is trained in counseling. The professional will try to help the person seeking therapy to cope with the problem, and to mature and learn more about himself or herself.

Should I see a counselor?

In the course of a lifetime, most of us feel stressed out, depressed, or anxious. Sometimes a friend or family can offer help, but there are times when their help is not sufficient and the problems persist. Counseling provides a safe environment for you to explore those issues that are experienced.
