Why is counseling important?

Starting counseling is a choice that many make to help identify problems in their life and start to make changes. It can be used to address a wide variety of problems, including: depression, anxiety, anger, stress, grief and low self esteem. Seeing a counselor is helpful in many ways: it gives you time to focus on yourself, provides a caring person to listen to you, allows you to gain from the perspective of another and gives you the skills to cope in a healthy manner or reduce stress.
