Counseling

2001 N Front Street, Harrisburg, PA 17102

Mr. Corey Burton specializes in counseling and practices in Harrisburg, PA.

"He was the only person available in the area at the time. I had two sessions with him, and decided that was enough. He was bland, very silent, and not that great of a listener. I definitely felt like I was not being heard. I have been to therapists before, my previous one has just retired. I know I am used to a certain style, but he definitely made me not want to go back. It is a feeling I am sure some can recognize, especially women. You just do not want to talk to that person anymore."

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.
