677 Woodland Square Loop SE, Lacey, WA

360-584-8929

Mr. Frank Hesketh works as a counseling specialist in Lacey, WA.

"I was attempting to contact Frank to discuss counseling options. I called Frank on January 3rd, and 5 more times before he finally answered his phone today on February 20th. I left him a voicemails every time I called asking him to please call me back asap. Frank's voicemail assures you that he will get back to you within 24 hours but I can assure you that he won't. His response when confronted, "I'm very busy lately and I just figured that people would kinda get it and stop calling". This guy does not care about people. If having a counselor that actually cares even pretends to care about your problems is important to you, I urge you not to see Frank Hesketh. He has proven to me by his tone and by his actions that he only cares about himself. When working in the industry of helping people it is important to remember how important respecting each other is. Frank apparently never learned that lesson along the way. My experience with him has shown me that he only cares about himself. "

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.
