Is this going to be awkward?
If laying on a stiff upholstered couch stumbling over your words while someone scratches down who-knows-what on a clipboard doesn’t sound like your type of thing, then thank goodness you’ve found us.
We approach guidance from the philosophy that everybody’s life gets messy; which in turn means that the counselor you are speaking with is not perfect, and that his/her life has had ups and downs too. So when we say we understand, it’s because we do. Life is difficult, plain and simple, and talking about it can be even more difficult. Knowing you’re not alone is sometimes half the battle.
We’d love to get to know you. (In a most un-awkward way, of course)
