Often, counseling includes the need for a practitioner's knowledge and experience with federal, state, county, local, veteran and private resources - along with advocacy for the client, and the client's family or loved ones. In other words, an experienced counselor might be very beneficial in knowing what services are available to help you resolve concerns and dilemmas. My practice and clinical experience includes more than 30 years of locating, filtering and storing valuable resources to help individuals get their needs met. The path to tomorrow starts today.
