25、nvironment where people live out their lives and work provides a lot of useful information and insight. This allows me to learn more rapidly how to help couples and families live harmoniously and work better together. People also lead very busy and stressful lives, so coordinating schedules to arriv

26、e at a psychologists office can be difficult. For some it is more than just a convenience that I travel to their homes, sometimes it is a necessity.

27、t this and do everything in my power to insure my clients confidentiality.W: What else does a consumer need to know in choosing a therapist?M: Therapy is a personal process that requires a special level of trust.

I had passionate interest in painting and sketching and really liked the psychology courses I had taken and vowed to myself to take additio

31、nal ones to help with deciding my major. The testing feedback brought to mind when I was younger I designed my own original personality tests and gave them to some of my friends. It never occurred to me until I had this career testing that just doing this might signal a genuine career interest. As a

This is good for all of us to remember regardless of what evil acts are committed against our communities.W: So what ex

39、pectations should one have about experiencing success with counseling?M: The therapeutic relationship is probably the most important factor.
