FAQs

What is counseling?

"Counseling is a professional relationship that empowers diverse individuals, families, and groups to accomplish mental health, wellness, education, and career goals." - American Counseling Association

​

At Acorn Counseling we provide outpatient individual counseling services. This means that you will sit down with a licensed counselor who will help you identify your needs in a safe space. Your counselor will help you develop a personalized plan. As counseling progresses, many people feel empowered as their symptoms or struggles reduce. 

What is trauma?

Trauma refers to the symptoms people suffer after actual or perceived life-threatening or overwhelming experiences (anything that threatens a person's being, body, or life). Traumas can result from abuse (childhood, sexual, physical, emotional), war, car accidents, during violent or threatening crimes, and from natural disasters. Even hearing about these types of events happening to a loved one can result in trauma symptoms. 

​

Even when trauma occurs in childhood, it shapes our experiences throughout our lives. Trauma can impact the way we think, feel, and experience ourselves and the world.
