What is Counseling & How Does it Work?
When a person is looking to make positive changes in their life they often need a neutral professional with no agenda to assist them in making those changes. This process starts with the counselor getting to know the client’s biographical background, personality and goals. It is the counselor’s job to uncover and expose traits and elements that keep the client from making those necessary alterations.
When a person comes to counseling they have developed a lifetime of habits, thoughts, and ideas. Because this personal evolution has occurred gradually over a long period of time counseling must happen slowly and methodically. Counseling is not a quick fix but instead a permanent solution and step towards making healthy changes.
With commitment and hard work, counseling can improve countless lives for those dealing with troubled marriages, dysfunctional relationships, addictions, compulsions, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression and much more. Counseling is an effective tool to take what is on the inside and bring it out for repairing.
“Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.”

OCS GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
- You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
- Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
- If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
- Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
