Below are some common questions we often get asked about the therapy and counseling process. If you have any questions that are not addressed here, please feel free to contact our office and we will do our best to explain.
In the beginning of counseling clients often come in on a once a week basis for 4-6 weeks. After that, the frequency is based on your needs and goals.
Sessions at Breakthrough Counseling last 60 minutes.
Absolutely not, asking for help when you need it demonstrates great strength. We often feel we should be able to resolve our problems on our own, but at times it can be difficult to do so. Asking another person to help you help yourself is also an indication of strength. It takes courage to face your problems, and once you have decided to get help, you have already taken an important step toward positive change.
Not at all. Today counseling is broadly used and is appropriate for all populations and for a wide range of concerns. Everyone has difficult life experiences sometimes. When these difficulties interfere with how you are feeling or your ability to function, then it can be very helpful to seek assistance or support from others who are trained to help you.
There is no such thing as right/appropriate or wrong/inappropriate issues that can be presented in counseling. In other words, any problem can be addressed.
If talking to friends isn’t helping enough, someone outside of your life, who has training in helping others, can give you a more objective assessment of problems that concern you.
If you are unsure, you may call our office at 812-550-3934 to talk about your needs and how it might benefit you.
