WHAT IF PRIVATE PRACTICE FOCUSED ON PREVENTION? People associate counselling with mental health issues, but can you imagine how much better it would be for them to invest in some therapy BEFORE it got to the point of doctors visits and time off? To get help when they first notice that they have a low mood or are struggling with an aspect of their life or relationship rather than wait till they reach rock bottom? This isn't a new concept, I think all counsellors and psychotherapists want this. So how can we make this happen?
