Counseling

137 Prominence Court, Dawsonville, GA 30534

Mr. James Fowler is a counseling specialist in Dawsonville, GA.

"This man asked my son questions write off his computer, and typed the answers in as if he was taking a test. No empathy. Just clinical. Then discussed ways to treat add and depression. All of which we already knew. And finally, he offered us a vitamin powder???? He discussed how vitamins make a difference. Which we knew. Then tried to sell us a powder for over $100! It looked like a pyramid scheme! He pulled the large container out from under his desk and offered us an immediate supply. Then we would be charged on a monthly basis automatically. My son and I both look at each other in disbelief. He scheduled another appointment. After calling to cancel the appointment and complaining about our session I was billed a N/S fee! However, they did refund the 45 dollar copay. Stay away. If I have the time, I may call the BBB."

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.
