My Definition of Counseling

As one of my final blog posts for class, I felt it would be appropriate to write what I feel is the definition of counseling. From all I have observed, listened to, and read, I feel counseling is the process of helping a person achieve mental well being. The path that counseling takes depends on the client, but it is my duty to help the client come to their own understanding of what makes them healthy. It is an empowering process that gives clients tools to live their lives with critical thinking and thoughtful action.
