Why Counseling?
Unless you have tried counseling before, you might believe that it is only for others. Why tell personal things to a stranger? The fact is that when you need to talk, you need someone who is objective and understands your concerns. You need someone who will truly listen without judgment. Most importantly, you need someone who will keep things confidential—a professional who has specialized training and experience to deal with your particular concerns.
