Counseling Q & A

What is Counseling?

Professional counseling is a valuable part of mental health care that involves both your participation and your counselor’s. Adrian Counseling and Psychiatric Clinic offers expert counseling in a safe and comfortable environment, emphasizing the importance of your privacy. 

When you go through counseling at Adrian Counseling and Psychiatric Clinic, your providers help you set goals in the beginning that you can pursue during your sessions and in the outside world. They help you find solutions to the problems in your life that affect your emotions and overall well-being. 

You can also set other goals during counseling, like improving your communication skills or boosting your self-esteem. Your providers guide you through coping strategies and promote behavioral changes that may help you reach your goals. 

Who can benefit from counseling?

Counseling can benefit nearly anyone. In fact, you can seek counseling for any reason and without any mental health diagnosis at all. You may search for counseling on your own or with loved ones. 

Counseling can also benefit you if you have a mental health diagnosis. Your providers at Adrian Counseling and Psychiatric Clinic can help with problems related to:

• Trauma

• Addiction

• Depression

• Anxiety

• Bipolar disorder

• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

This is far from a comprehensive list, and your care plan for these or other issues can vary based on your individual goals and personal preferences. 

Which type of counseling should I get?

It’s up to you, your providers, and any other people whom you want to involve in your own counseling to choose the type of counseling you should get. Your options include:

• Individual: You can engage in counseling by yourself to improve your personal mental health and wellness. 

• Couples: Couples counseling aims to improve communication, conflict resolution, and other relationship dynamics.

• Family: Family counseling can improve communication among family members. You can invite the whole family or just a few members.

• Group: Group counseling happens in a setting with multiple other individuals who have similar goals.
