What is Counseling: Fact and Fiction

By Jerry L. Olson, LPC, CSAC

Counseling is a process that is often misunderstood. It is not about someone telling you what to do or taking away control of your life. Instead, it is about providing you with the discovery of your own set of tools needed to regain and retain control of your life and any possible situations that may arise. Counseling is not judgmental, belittling, or degrading. Instead, it is encouraging, uplifting, and very humanizing. It is a healing process that gives encouragement and eventually courage to help someone face hard and difficult issues they could not have faced alone.

Counseling can prevent problems from occurring and even stop problems from taking their unbearable toll in human suffering and misery. It can save a life, a job, a future, and a family. Counseling can help restore feelings of acceptance and self-worth and reestablish a positive direction. At Olson Professional Counseling Services, LLC, we believe in helping our clients discover the strengths they may not even realize they possess. We guide them to success, focusing on their inner strengths, not changing them.

The Other Woman

By Jerry L. Olson, LPC, CSAC

I am having an affair with your husband. I am the other woman. I am more cunning, baffling, and powerful than any woman you have ever known. I make your husband feel confident, proud, and sophisticated, but ultimately, I'll make him uncertain, pitiful, crude, and obnoxious. Instead of heaven, I'll show him the depths of hell. You can't fight me because your husband loves me! I'll even destroy you if you let me.

Alcohol is a dangerous addiction that can ruin lives, relationships, and families. At Olson Professional Counseling Services, LLC, we understand the power of addiction and are committed to helping those struggling with alcoholism discover the root causes of their addiction and learn healthy coping mechanisms.

Why Seek Counseling?

In life, there can come a time when help is needed from others. Sometimes professional help may be beneficial, such as when:

• You find yourself becoming isolated from those around you
• Concentration becomes difficult or impossible
• Hobbies are no longer enjoyable
• You use alcohol or drugs, television, the internet, or other distractions to avoid dealing with situations
• You regularly can't sleep well or are frequently tired
• Your appetite is disrupted
• When you spend more days than not sad, anxious, or irritable
• Your relationships are suffering

At Olson Professional Counseling Services, LLC, we are committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental space for our clients to explore their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Our goal is to help our clients lead fulfilling lives, free from the constraints of addiction and mental health issues.
