FAQ
Can I just take medicine for my symptoms?
READ ANSWER
- There is well-established research that has proven that long-term mental health issues, trauma, emotion, and pain problems cannot be solved with just medication alone. Medication addresses the symptoms, but counseling addresses the root of the issue, finds the cause of your anguish, and helps correct negative behavior problems that curve our progress. For the best results, an integrative approach to wellness and healing is the way to go. However, depending on the individual your counselor may work with your medical doctor to find a combo of medication + treatment. It is all about what the best course of action is for you.

For example, your Physician, Nutritionist, Attorney, etc. To do this, your counselor will have to obtain your written permission.State law and professional ethics require counselors to be sworn to confidentiality except in the following situations:
