What is Counseling?

Professional counseling is about trained individuals who assist and guide clients to resolve issues related to the client’s personal and professional growth. Counseling offers clients the opportunity to view different perspectives of their own lives while finding ways to manage stress. Counselors equip their clients to develop clarity in thinking and choose the right path for their lives. Professional counselors work with people to navigate through their life’s problems with sound strategies and formation of goals.

Professional counseling is, therefore, a process when the client and the counselor meet and discuss the difficulties arising in the client’s life. A counselor looks at the stressful situations and feelings without any biases or judgment. Trust and confidentiality are of paramount importance and our professionals will always stress on the levels of confidentiality maintained with every client.

Counseling is not about giving advice, and being emotionally involved with the client. This is not a medical treatment. Counselors nudge the clients to discover their path, find ways to overcome depression, stress and move from those phases of life which was earlier shrouded in stress, anxiety, depression, or hopelessness.

Areas of Counseling

Professional counselors are trained in different areas which form the specialization field. Our different Mental Strength Professionals are trained in the following areas: Depression, Stress Management, Worry, Anxiety, Relationship Counseling, Mid-Life crises, Divorce, and more.

Mental Strength professionals who are trained in these specific areas demonstrate high levels of empathy while dealing with clients. Our professionals observe behavior patterns, thinking patterns, and use a combination of personality assessments for the process. Our counselors will always recommend the intervention of a medical professional/treatment providers if there is evidence of severe clinical depression. We also offer individual and group sessions to find ways to overcome depression or stress.

A) Depression and Anxiety

Depression is a condition that completely impacts life in an extremely negative manner. It can be prolonged feelings of sadness, empty feelings within self, as well as a loss of interest in life. Anxiety is the way your body responds to different types of stress levels. It’s an excessive and intense worry about everyday situations, the past, or even about the future. It affects decision-making skills, while taking away the joy from every moment as it consumes one’s thinking on an everyday basis. Our Mental Strength Professionals guide you to bring an awareness to the way you think, feel, behave, and monitor the reactions you have towards self and others. They provide professional counseling sessions that teach you to reframe the thinking process that is often inclined towards the negative. Mental Strength Professionals work on improving the way you deal with self while infusing lasting positivity.

Counselors may use different exercises to test problem-solving skills while showing empathy and care along the way. Individuals signing up for personal growth counseling identify goals while learning to build on them.

A counselor also suggests different types of therapies required to change the thought patterns and your reactions to problems in life.

If you are constantly worrying, feel severe anxiety, face difficulty in concentration, sense a feeling of doom or anger, our counselors work with you to make you learn new methods of stress management. You gain a different perspective while learning new habits that bring a change in your personality and thought processes.

E) Mid-Life Crises

The Mental Strength Professionals are trained to observe the behavior patterns in individuals. The counselor identifies the anxiety related to midlife crises while working with you to move ahead from the “stuck” feeling in life. Professional counseling provides a safe space to discuss issues such as any drastic change in habits, mood swings, disconnection from loved ones, depression, irregular sleeping habits, and more. Our counselors target these areas to display what you need to do in the present and build new thinking methods. The counselor turns this mid-life crisis into an opportunity to move the client from the restless feeling to one of pure peace and contentment.

You build acceptance of your body and mind while displaying greater belief in self - with your abilities, skills, and knowledge. A counselor uses various professional counseling techniques to partner with you and brings a change in the thinking levels.

G) Divorce

A divorce counselor works with you without judging or enforcing their opinion on you. The Mental Strength Professionals are trained to listen while displaying empathy towards the client. Divorce counselors are trained to make you work on your goals. Remember - this is not about revisiting the relationship without your consent. Our professional counseling services are about building upon your decision-making skills and dealing with emotions at the moment. We offer counseling for pre-divorce situations, dealing with anger, resentment, disappointment, betrayal, post-divorce situations, ways to overcome depression, and more.
