401 E 162nd Street, South Holland, IL

Mr. Steven Hoekstra works as a counseling specialist in South Holland, IL.

"In my experience Steve Hoekstra convinced me he was caring and compassionate, gained my trust, then broke that trust by hurting me in my deepest wound. He proved to be highly unprofessional, and lacked clear boundaries. For example, as a college age female he convinced me that my family of origin did not provide enough comfort and took it upon himself to fill that role through very close, lengthy hugs. His "comfort" and inauthentic "care" was a way to draw me in, gain my trust, then break trust in a way that was deeply painful and traumatic for me. He originallu told me I had PTSD but what happened in his office was more traumatic than what I originally came in for. Shortly after this occurred he went on leave for several weeks, and I am unable to step foot in a therapy office again. Because of this I can't recommend him, but I can say that he might be ok for men's issues. "

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.
