Waynesville, MO 65583

Mr. Thomas Murphy specializes in counseling and practices in Waynesville, MO.

"He took a booking through military One Source for an in person appointment. Slightly before 5pm the night prior to our appointment he text to ask if we would mind changing to a virtual session. We advised we would not. He then said if we refused he would cancel and couldn?t get us in for nearly two weeks. Then he said that according to his records it was always a phone in, which is weird since he started his text by asking us to switch. We verified with military one source and advised him that he was in fact being untruthful. He cancelled our appointment altogether."

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.
