What Should You Expect:
Counseling/coaching is a process that takes strength and courage on your part. The first visit is the hardest because it is the unknown. It is almost never something you look forward to doing, but once you do the relief is often freeing and refreshing. Gerald is a natural at creating a comfortable environment that is not stale or unfamiliar. He can work as fast or as slow as you are comfortable with. Some people are quick to open-up and others are more reserved. Either way, he and you will make decisions and discoveries together. The average session is one hour. During this time, you will share what concerns you have and together you will discuss skills and actions to implement to lead you into the direction you desire. You will often leave with a goal, action or (thought) to achieve until our next visit.
