Addiction Therapy, Counseling

1400 N Seminary Avenue, Woodstock, IL

815-459-0499

Ms. Tracy Soos' areas of specialization are counseling and addiction therapy; she sees patients in Woodstock, IL.

"Disappointed in the services provided. It's hard enough for someone with a mental health disorder to get up the courage to seek therapy and find a therapist they actually like. When the therapist constantly changes appointment days and times, it makes it even more difficult for someone with mental health issues. Keeping time and routine is very important. While the patient is responsible for missing some appointments, you would think the therapist would be more understanding because of what they are seeking treatment for. Therapist need to establish boundaries with their time but it was a bit hypocritical when she constantly changed appointments. It was impossible to get help when really needed. Very disappointed in the lack of empathy towards her patient."

What is Counseling?

Counseling is a type of professional guidance for handling problems in life. There are many types of counselors, and they serve an incredibly wide variety of people with all kinds of different needs. There are general counselors, marriage and family counselors, school and student counselors, career and vocational counselors, religious counselors, and gerontological counselors specifically for the elderly.

In all cases, counseling works when the client and the counselor talk to each other and develop a trusting relationship. The counselor listens respectfully to the client's problems. Then the two together work on identifying goals, increasing coping skills to overcome any troubles, and improving useful skills such as communication. The goals of counseling will be different for each person, but generally they include an increased sense of well being, decreased distress and anxiety, resolved crisis, and increased ability and function in daily life.
