As a noun, “benefits” are tangible results
of good deeds and services accrued to a receiver. As a verb, “benefits”
enable you to make the most out of your situation. In either instance,
“benefits” are good.
The “benefits” which accompany and follow
NICA's psychological services are innumerable, yet several should be
articulated as central to what can be gotten or obtained in the
consultation room with a real expert:
-
You get to be looked at from
your point of view without any prior judgment
-
You get to be seen for who you
are and who you can become
-
You get to be listened to by an
objective party, in the “telling of your tale”, in your own way
-
You get to be heard from you’re
the depths of your own subjective experiential reality
-
You get to be touched by the
truth of your truth
-
You get to be felt in a manner
which allows you to respectfully access your deepest feelings.
It is just as important to know that
competent mental health services provides you with a safe “holding
environment”, within which and out from which, you can “blossom and
grow” to your fullest potential.
-
You receive faith, hope and trust
that your skills and abilities are sufficient for life’s struggles
-
You receive permission and
encouragement to stumble wildly while you learn as you grow
-
You receive alternative frames of
reference and heuristic “tools” to solve problems in
your life
-
You receive healthy challenge
to commit to failure NOT being an option, even when it always is
-
You receive forgiveness for
your neediness, dependency, helplessness and vulnerability
-
You receive love as a gift
which obliges you to keep giving.
Northern Illinois Counseling Associates,
P.C. (NICA) is acutely aware that your decision to seek and obtain
professional assessment, diagnosis and/or treatment represents a
significant commitment of your time, energy and money. We respect your
privacy, value your confidentiality and are privileged to keep and to
hold all of your information between us whenever possible, as if it were
wholly sacred.
Some of our clients have electively
opted-out of their insurance coverage for receiving mental health
benefits due to their legitimate concerns about “third-parties” having
access to any private information which could be embarrassing or
otherwise damaging. Some of our clients conscientiously object to the
requirement of their insurance company that a clinical diagnosis be
rendered. Some of our clients do not want to be required by their
insurance companies to take prescribed psychotropic medications. Some of
our clients also discover that their voluntary decision to seek
prophylactic and/or rehabilitative mental health services may eventually
be penalized if they seek to purchase disability or life insurance.
“For what doth it profit a man, if he gain
the whole world, and suffer the loss of his own soul”? Is not the very
purpose of seeking appropriate guidance and help in the finding and
meaningful utilization of it? Therefore, the chief benefits of
psychological services reside in the successive differentiation and
hierarchic integration of mind, body and spirit coupled with the
reclamation of one’s heart and soul!
Northern Illinois Counseling Associates,
P.C. (NICA) is here to help “benefit” you right now.
