Context

"Cambridge Dictionary: “the act of exchanging information and opinions about something in order to reach a better understanding of it to make a decision”"

Consulting means to obtain advice and information from a professional who is trained or an expert. The consultant has specialized training or expertise on the process of solving a problem of interest to the client. Consultants work with individuals, couples, families, groups, and organizations.

The consulting service is a short-term engagement. It is advisory and direct in nature, with no room for exploring or processing the past. It is present or future focused. You can expect your consultant to be open, honest, direct, and compassionate. Your consultant will challenge you and empower you with resources.

Licensure: There are no licensure requirements for consultants, however, consultants at Guillaume Counseling Services are Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists.
