What is Counseling?
Counseling is a professional relationship in which individuals, couples, families, and groups are given a safe, supportive and confidential space to accomplish mental health, behavioral, wellness, career and educational goals (American Counseling Association, 2010). Counseling is a collaborative relationship that allows clients to process their concerns and develop potential solutions with an individual or team who is able to remain nonjudgmental and confidential.
