Counseling

12 Health Services Drive, Dekalb, IL 60115

815-756-4875

Ms. Kirstin Wetzell works as a counseling specialist in Dekalb, IL.

"She coldly turned on me, doing a 180 that got my services terminated. She had no empathy, but only feigned it for almost two years until I guess she just got bored with my case. She never called me after what turned out to be the last appointment I had with her, not even offering an explanation for her abrupt, very rude and extremely disrespectful backstabbing. Kirstin belongs in a line of work that keeps her away from emotionally suffering people because she will only cause them worse problems."

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.
