You, the client, are a full partner in counseling. Your honesty and effort are essential for success. It is my belief that the majority of the “work” in counseling occurs in between sessions, as you put into practice the insights and skills you have gained from counseling. We will work together as a team to define and work toward your goals. Initial counseling sessions will focus on exploring the concerns that brought you into counseling. We will determine appropriate objectives and develop goals. That plan may include referral to outside services. As counseling progresses, we will re-evaluate our plan and make adjustments as necessary.
