Are
there male and female Personal Advisors?
Personal Advisors can
be of either gender. They are sensitive to the needs and viewpoints
of both genders.
Do you tell people what to do?
We tell
you what we think based on what you present to us. We are not
shy! We are in this business because we like to share our opinions
in the hopes that we can help people. We don't believe in the
stereotypical counseling approach in which you ask, "What should I
do?" and the counselor replies, "What do you think you should do?"
We may ask you questions to get you thinking about your own situation
from another perspective, but we're not going to leave you hanging
without guidance as to where we think you should focus your energy.
What is
your philosophy of giving advice? For example, Freudian
or Jungian?
We don't use textbook labels to define the
advice. We do promise that it will be straightforward, honest,
logical, and thoughtful. It's based on our desire to help you
get through whatever issues are causing problems in your life.
We will
help you explore and examine the choices available in a situation
and their consequences. Our goal is to analyze your circumstances
and help you clarify what the likely outcome will be given
a certain course of action or set of choices. Remember,
you're soley responsible for any and all choices that you make.
We'll help you decide which choice is right for you.
