Further Details

Counseling is a collaborative effort between the counselor and client. Professional counselors help clients identify goals and potential solutions to problems which cause emotional turmoil; seek to improve communication and coping skills; strengthen self-esteem; and promote behavior change and optimal mental health.

Each session is, essentially, a problem-solving session. You describe your current situation, and your feelings about it, and then the therapist uses their expertise to assist you in trying to resolve that problem so you can move closer to having the life you wish to have.

This depends on a number of things. Some people feel they have reached a desired understanding and change in their lives after several sessions. It is almost comparable to going to see your doctor for a check-up and learning that your body is running fine and you don’t really need to do anything more.

Therapy is confidential and therapists are bound by both laws and ethics to maintain client confidentiality to the best of their ability. There are exceptions that I will cover in detail.

At REMM Counseling we have varied rates. Most session range from $60-$120. We also are able to provide payment plans to help assist our clients.

Another common reason people avoid seeking the help of a therapist is the belief that it will mean they are simply “crazy.” But it goes beyond that. People often are afraid of how they’d feel if others saw them this way—namely worthless, flawed, or unlovable.

Your confidentiality is legally protected and must by law remain protected by your therapist.
