Parent and Adolescent Counseling Psychology

Counseling Psychology is a private conversation that arises from an individual's (couple's or family's) intention to reflect on and resolve a problem and the willingness of another person to assist in this effort.

Counseling is an interactive process between the specialist and the individual or individuals seeking help, addressing social, emotional, cultural, and socio-economic issues. The general goal of counseling is to provide individuals with opportunities to process issues that concern them, with the aim of living a more satisfying and fulfilling life, both on a personal level and as members of a broader society.

It focuses on the healthy aspects of the individual's personality, on abilities, on relatively short-term interventions, and on the interactions between the individual and their environment, in order to understand each case and appropriately shape the interventions in the individual's educational and professional development, as well as in their educational and professional environment.

It addresses the improvement of the quality of life for individuals with physical, emotional, and mental disorders. The goals of counseling include self-awareness, self-acceptance, self-actualization, personal development, psycho-education, cognitive change, empowerment, repair and problem-solving, decision-making, and the acquisition of social skills, crisis management, and the improvement of interpersonal relationships and behavioral change.

The concept of "relationship" encompasses physical, mental, emotional, and cognitive dimensions.

"The main goal of psychotherapy is not to transfer the patient to a state of happiness, but to help them achieve stability and patience in the face of pain." - C. G. Jung
