How it Works Here at ECM Counseling Services

When you work with ECM Counseling Services, our therapy programs are personalized to you, and your needs. This means that may work with us for a few sessions, or we might work together for a couple of years.

This is really going to be based on your goals and needs. Ultimately, we are here to help you learn to love, accept, and embrace all of who you are. If that means doing the work to heal from trauma, having the courage to come out, or even to live authentically. the goal is that you can let go of pain and what’s holding you back, so you can stop suffering.

Typically, we start with an appointment each week and then over time we adjust as needed. For some, this means we meet once a month, and for others, it might mean we meet every other week, really it’s going to be based on your journey, and your healing through working together.
