"We had an appointment for our daughter three weeks ago, but Sandra called a few days afterwards to say she was "double booked". She offered to hand us off to one of her associates, but after investigating, we found that this woman had only a couple of years experience/practice. We booked another appointment for today with Sandra and were successful. Today she contacted us to cancel the appointment again! Her agent, Grow Therapy/Dignity Counseling, sent us a message that she had cancelled the appointment. Moreover, we were just informed that "she is no longer accepting new patients". This has been very vexing to us because our daughter desperately needs counseling and there are none with more than a couple years experience in Ocala, or they only do virtual meetings (which our daughter would not open up for). Very unprofessional and poor communications all around!"

What is Counseling?

Counseling is a type of professional guidance for handling problems in life. There are many types of counselors, and they serve an incredibly wide variety of people with all kinds of different needs. There are general counselors, marriage and family counselors, school and student counselors, career and vocational counselors, religious counselors, and gerontological counselors specifically for the elderly.

In all cases, counseling works when the client and the counselor talk to each other and develop a trusting relationship. The counselor listens respectfully to the client's problems. Then the two together work on identifying goals, increasing coping skills to overcome any troubles, and improving useful skills such as communication. The goals of counseling will be different for each person, but generally they include an increased sense of well being, decreased distress and anxiety, resolved crisis, and increased ability and function in daily life.
