Counseling is:

1. A voluntary activity. You decide if you want to return for more sessions.
2. Short-term or intermittent.
3. Consulting confidentially about a
situation, problem, relationship, family issue or habit you want to change.
4. A positive step when you are concerned about what to do.
5. An educational and growth-
oriented experience.
6. A give and take, cooperative venture between your counselor and you.
7. Goal-oriented.


Counseling is not:

1. A gripe session. Venting is OK when you are working toward resolution.

3. Someone else taking charge of your life and making decisions for you.
