Counseling
Therapy can last from a few weeks, to several months, and in certain occasions

suitable for everyone. Clients must be willing to put forth a concerted effort
to resolve their problem in order for counseling to be successful. Depending on
the nature of the problem, clients should be aware that they could experience
uncomfortable emotions such as anger, fear, and frustration during the course of
their counseling. While your counselor cannot remove these feelings from you, he
will help you work through them ir help you find an alternative counselor.
