Ms. Elliana Ixta Madera practices social work, rehabilitative services, and counseling in Compton, CA.

"This provider discriminated against me for being a trans woman. She said very clearly "I don't feel comfortable working with you because I don't have experience with the community [trans people]". To which I replied "So you wouldn't be willing to work with me to gain experience". She said yes. This was completely unrelated to my treatment, I came to her for mental health issues, nothing related to being trans."

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.
