Most people think of therapy as a last resort. What many don't realize is that therapy can greatly enrich your life whether you're in crisis or not. Therapy may be fitting if you can relate to any of the following: the problem feels too big or complex to handle alone; others suggest you need to talk to someone or get some form of help; you've tried numerous strategies over the years but still seem to feel stuck in negative patterns of emotions, thoughts, behaviors or relationship patterns; or, you just don't seem to be reaching your full potential in your marriage, career, friendships or hobbies.
You should arrive 15 minutes early for your first appointment in order to complete the initial paperwork. The first session is a chance for you to get an idea of your therapist's approach and how they will work with you. During the first session your therapist will ask questions regarding your reasons for coming to counseling and try to gather a history about your life and past relationships. This is also a time for you to ask questions and get an idea of how treatment will look for you. It is common for people coming to counseling for the first time to feel some nervousness and apprehension. Your counselor will be aware of this and will try to make this initial process as comfortable as possible.
This will be determined by you and your counselor based on your specific problems and issues. You and your counselor will build a treatment plan with goals for counseling, working to build skills, develop insights, and build new behaviors and ways of thinking that will help you manage your problems in more effective ways.
Pastoral counseling respects a person's spiritual beliefs, including those who espouse no religion. Pastoral counselors do not attempt to convert anyone to a particular set of beliefs but rather strive to meet each person's needs in a supportive manner.
We have two Family Life Centers/Offices. One is on Rhine Ordinance Barracks, Bldg. 277. The other is on Smith Barracks (Baumholder), Bldg. 8681.
