Selecting a Counselor or Life Coach

Selecting a Counselor or Life Coach is a highly personal matter. A professional who works very well with one individual may not be a good choice for another person.

Counselors/Life Coaches and clients work together. The right match is important. A key factor in determining whether or not to work with a particular professional (once the person’s credentials and competence are established) is your level of personal comfort with that professional. A good rapport is critical. Choose a person with whom you feel comfortable and at ease. Please realize, that if you are working on concerns which are difficult to share, you may sometimes feel a bit uncomfortable with any person.

Other Community Resources

There are several self-help support groups in the area that cover a variety of issues and are free of charge (e.g., AA/NA, suicide survivor, rape survivor, depression/anxiety, dating violence, learning disabilities, eating disorders). Generally there is a contact number and person who you have to call prior to attending the group, but some groups are open to having people drop in.

We have a list of resources here. You can also check with your local National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), hospital, or mental health board for a list of local support groups and contact information for the issues you would like to explore.
