People come to therapy for a myriad of reasons, but typically people seek therapy
because they are feeling "stuck" in some area of their life. Some people come to therapy to improve relationships, to gain assistance in coping with unexpected changes in their life, to learn more effective coping skills for dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and pain, or to gain assistance in making healthy lifestyle changes. Others may come to gain access to and expand their potential through self-exploration.
Therapy can give you greater insight into why you feel like you do and enhance your ability to gain control over your emotions and your behavior. It can empower you with more effective coping skills and tools to enhance all areas of your life. Therapy has the ability to assist you in gaining more control over your health and well being.
The therapeutic relationship should be a connected and trusting relationship between client and therapist where the client can feel free to express thoughts and feelings in an atmosphere of unconditional positive regard. It is considered to be one of the most important components to successful therapy.
It is imperative that you feel comfortable and feel heard and understood, otherwise the effectiveness of therapy will be greatly compromised. The therapists at the Hershey Counseling Center understand the importance of this connection. If at any time you do not feel your therapist is a good fit for you, just let your therapist know and we will refer you to another qualified professional.
