Are You Satisfied With Your Treatment?
When in counseling it is important that for you to be satisfied with the treatment you are receiving. It may be difficult for you to determine if you are satisfied with the level of care you are getting if you are new to counseling. To help you to objectively evaluate your treatment ask yourself the following questions:
- Am I comfortable with my counselor?
- Do I trust my counselor?
- Does my counselor understand me?
- Does my counselor respect me and my opinions?
- Have my counselor and I discussed and agreed on specific treatment goals?
- Can I change my treatment goals at any time?
- Am I making progress toward my treatment goals?
- Is the treatment helpful?
- Does my counselor behave in a professional manner?
Are You Satisfied With Your Treatment?
- Openly discuss your concerns with your counselor, if you feel comfortable doing so. If not, ask to speak with his or her supervisor about the problem. Work towards a resolution of the problem.
- Find another counselor.
- If the counselor’s conduct has been unethical or illegal, report this information to the Director of Counseling Services.
