Your Role in Counseling


Your main responsibilities are to attend your scheduled sessions, talk about what is bothering you, as openly and honestly as you can, and participate in any tasks or homework assignments as you feel comfortable. Please let your counselor know, with at least 24 hours notice, if you are unable to make it to a session. Most counseling will ask you to try something new or to experiment with a different approach. Please let your counselor know when your problems are improving as well as let your counselor know if you don't feel like you're making any progress. This latter point is important; your counselor is most interested in your benefiting from counseling.
