This will minimize those internal battles from impacting one’s capacity to succeed in life. Our essential goal is to help our clients heal, thrive, prosper, and rise to their greatest potential.

Counseling is often highly effective for various sorts of common psychological problems. For instance, if you suffer from depression, anxiety, alcoholism, or excessive anger problems, then talking with a licensed, experienced counselor can make an enormous difference in your quality of life. Plus, you will learn coping strategies to assist you in processing your emotions and feel more content even when you are not in a counseling session.

All medical and health professionals follow specific guidelines around confidentiality, and for counselors, confidentiality is a key aspect of the ACA Code of Ethics. Additionally, counselors are bound by laws that are equivalent to those of medical doctors, specifically the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA, which is mandated by federal law. This law dictates that private medical records, including psychological state records and information obtained through counseling or therapy, are protected and shall remain confidential.

There are a couple of exceptions to this, for instance, if you’re seeing a counselor and the counselor believes you pose a threat to yourself or others, or that a threat is posed to a minor, elderly person, or person with disabilities, then these circumstances are going to be reported to the appropriate authorities. If our client shows signs of threatened suicide, a counselor may prefer to contact a loved one rather than or in addition to the authorities.
