"Please go to ANY other psychiatric provider besides the medical group this person works for, "Happier Living," for your own sake!! I'm so mad at myself for not looking this place up and reading reviews before I signed up and made an appointment. They have such bad practices and insane cancellation fees. They have awful reviews everywhere - yelp, google, and the better business bureau! Protect yourself and just go anywhere else. And read their reviews and complaints on the BBB website, it's public information!"

What is Counseling?

Counseling is a type of professional guidance for handling problems in life. There are many types of counselors, and they serve an incredibly wide variety of people with all kinds of different needs. There are general counselors, marriage and family counselors, school and student counselors, career and vocational counselors, religious counselors, and gerontological counselors specifically for the elderly.

In all cases, counseling works when the client and the counselor talk to each other and develop a trusting relationship. The counselor listens respectfully to the client's problems. Then the two together work on identifying goals, increasing coping skills to overcome any troubles, and improving useful skills such as communication. The goals of counseling will be different for each person, but generally they include an increased sense of well being, decreased distress and anxiety, resolved crisis, and increased ability and function in daily life.
