Common Myths and Facts about Counseling

Myth: It’s only for people with “real problems”
Fact: Counseling is for everyone! whether you are going through something really hard, or you just need a little help in some decision making, we can help you get on track sooner than trying to do it on your own. Myth: It’s too expensive
Fact: Counseling is an investment in yourself that continues for a lifetime. Much like when you get a mani/pedi, a massage or a yummy latte, you are saying to yourself (and others) I am worthy of taking care of myself. Myth: It’s never ending
Fact: You are in control of how often or how long you would like to schedule your sessions. And by the way, it’s ok to take a break from counseling and come back for a check up whenever you are ready. Myth: It means I’m weak
Fact: Absolutely not! Strengthening your brain through counseling is just like training your body through exercise! You can learn ways to improve your decision-making process, which can result in more uplifting feelings on a regular basis. Myth: People will judge me negatively for going to counseling
Fact: Going into counseling shows that you are willing to learn about yourself and ways to improve your life. It takes strength to call a counselor to make an appointment. We do not judge our clients- We have heard A LOT of life stories, and we hold each one with confidentiality and respect.
