Counseling

229 S Main Street, Maquoketa, IA

Ms. Eleisha Rowan is a counseling specialist in Maquoketa, IA.

"I saw this person on 3 different occasions by a referral from my primary care provider. At first I thought I had found someone who cared and would help me with severe PTSD, only to find out that should you need to speak after hours or are in crisis, this person is not there to help. I called on a Sunday afternoon to try and speak with her, and got voice-mail. She didn't return the call for almost 24 hours claiming she left her mobile phone at work. Still, she didn't bother to call until later Monday afternoon. I had never called after hours and that alone should have been an indication the patient was in crisis. I was told to expect response times of 24 to 48 hours. This is how she cares? I also noted that she had blocked the ability to leave reviews on Google's platform. If she cared and was open and honest, her patients would be able to leave honest reviews of their experiences for the public to view. "

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.
