Counseling for Individuals

This website is offered to assist anyone seeking to explore or better understand therapeutic
counseling. Each person is an individual, so reasons for seeking therapeutic counseling vary.  
Each
reason is valid. Personal issues or concerns, relationship, family or career distress, emotional
crises and difficulties, and issues that seem to persist or repeat are a few of the reasons people
seek support. Sometimes concerns and distress increase during difficult times or with specific
events.
 Often, it simply becomes the right time to find someone to talk to.

This website is also offered to those who seek a counselor in the Portland, Oregon/Vancouver,
Washington metropolitan areas.  Finding a counselor is a process of search. It involves finding a
trained, licensed professional.  It includes finding a professional who most closely matches a  
person's interests and needs. As a person is comfortable, this may mean asking questions.  An
individual may want to see or verify that a counselor is licensed.  One may ask about a counselor's
approach to counseling, areas of a counselor's interest, or about their training and experience.  
Exploration of the site is invited as part of a person's search process.

In this site, Carol Walnum describes counseling in general and specific ways. These are offered as
possibilities and places to begin, rather than fixed ways of approaching problems. People begin
their counseling process in their own particular way and when they are ready.  

Counseling

Carol Walnum offers therapeutic counseling at her comfortable office in the Hollywood

low self-esteem or low self-confidence; career and life direction change; and other painful
emotional difficulties.
