Do you get home at the end of a long, harried day and feel like a mess? Do you ever replay moments from your day over and over, and you feel like they’re eating away at you? Do you have people in your life that you don’t know how to deal with?
What would it take for you to ask for help? What if help were just a phone call, and that’s all you had to do? What if there was a caring professional out there who would call and talk to you, and then come to your house and visit with you, hang out, listen and show you respect? What if there were someone out there who was PAID to help you, but you didn’t have to pay them?
This sounds-too-good-to-be-true solution is a real thing, called mobile counseling, and it’s available for thousands of people across New York State.
There are lots of reasons people don’t feel comfortable going to a counselor. The top reason being they don’t feel like they have that big of a problem.
In the movies, people go to a shrink, and sit on the cliche couch and have some stoic person ask them about their inner thoughts and feelings. In real life, it looks nothing like that.
Anyone who is alive can benefit from some advice about how to manage things better. For some, it’s advice about money management. For others it’s help with their relationships or parenting. For some it’s advice on how to nail a job interview. These are all topics that you can get help with when you access mobile counseling.
Or maybe you just need someone to listen, another adult to let you talk and offer some kindness when you feel beaten down by the world. Cornerstone Mobile Counseling offers a connection to this type of support, and it could be completely covered by your insurance.
I am new to the world of mobile counseling. But I’ve been up close with the counselors contracted with Cornerstone Mobile Counseling, and I was blown away by the amount of caring and compassion I felt from the counselors. I heard story after story from counselors who shared about the families they work with, and their drive to guide their clients to a better life.
Because mobile counseling is free to clients, and the counseling sessions happen in the home, there is a level of “realness” that I haven’t seen in other situations. These counselors really get to know their clients because they see them in their regular lives, at home, with their kids, their spouses, just being real.
And the clients who use mobile counseling have improvements in their lives they can measure, like a good job, a peaceful relationship, a safe place to live, and an easier time parenting.
This is because mobile counseling is about helping you to make better choices.
You don’t have to have a big “problem” to be the sort of person who can benefit from some guidance. I know I do better when I have someone guiding me and giving me feedback about my choices.
