When should someone seek counseling?

There really isn't a bad time to seek counseling! Some situations that often bring people into therapy may include experiencing symptoms of depression or anxiety, going through a transition, a sudden and unexpected change, dealing with a difficult relationship, seeking self-understanding or increasing self-awareness, wanting healing from trauma or past relationships. If you're considering counseling, but are still unsure, we would love to talk with you! Feel free to call our office for more information.

What can I expect from counseling?

Many people have an idea of what counseling looks like based off of what they've seen in movies or on t.v. The counseling process is exactly that- a process. It usually happens over a period of time, which usually is dependent on your goals for therapy. Every counselor does things a little differently and the experience you have will rely heavily on the personality and experience of the counselor you are seeing. You may feel feelings of discomfort in session and in between sessions as the material discussed is often difficult. However, many people report feeling relief, calm, and have a greater understanding of themselves and the people around them as a result of counseling.

How do I know that what I share will be kept private?

Counseling is a HIPAA protected process. This means that we are legally bound to keep any information shared in the counseling process private, including the fact that you are a client here at all. There are a few exceptions to this—one is if you share with us that you are suicidal or homicidal. In these cases, we are obligated to prioritize safety over privacy. Another exception to confidentiality is if you share with us that you are aware of the current abuse of neglect of a child or elderly person. We are mandated by law to report these incidences. Otherwise, unless you authorize us (with a legal document and signature), everything you share with us is kept private.

How do I make an appointment?

You can get starting with counseling by emailing us at info@taylorwellness.com, or you can call at 903-279-6889. We will work hard to get you set up for an appointment that works well with your schedule. The process begins with a simple conversation or email to determine the best fit for you and will send you all of the information you need to get started. Our practice is entirely PAPERLESS, so there aren’t forms to print and remember to bring with you. You will be sent a link and access to a client portal where you can fill out your forms and request appointment days and times that work well for you. We want this process to be as easy and simple for you as possible!
