HELP Therapists specialize in mental health counseling for mental health disorders – self-referred (people who are trying to get mental health counseling for themselves) or to get help for those close to them struggling with a number of disorders.
The Importance of Mental Health Counseling
According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), 26.2% of Americans ages 18 and older suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder each year, making these disorders the number one cause of disability in the U.S.
These mental health disorders include conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, panic disorder, OCD, PTSD, specific phobias, eating disorders, and substance abuse disorders – just to name a few.
Mental health counselors provide therapy and support for individuals and families trying to adapt to the changes the impact on their lives. Sometimes mental health counseling requires that counselors refer clients to doctors, such as psychiatrists or psychologists. But in most cases, mental health counseling helps the majority of individuals and families set goals, establish behaviors required to meet the goals, and monitors the sequence of behaviors that lead to successful goal attainment.
