Mental Health Counseling & Therapy
We are living in a fast-paced world where life stress triggers are lurking everywhere. At times you may feel overwhelmed to the point where your mental health is completely stretched. Or maybe you have experienced a traumatic event in your life that has gradually taken a toll on your mental state or that of a loved one.
Mental health issues are now prevalent more than ever before 一 CDC states that 1 in every 5 Americans suffer from mental breakdown each year. As such, suicide cases are at an all-time high as more people sink into depression and other negative behavior to try and cope with their mental issues.
However, when you feel that your mental health or that of a loved one is deteriorating, seeking professional counseling and psychotherapy can save your life and improve your well-being.
At Answers LLC, we provide comprehensive mental health counseling and therapy services in Idaho Falls. We are keen on healing by digging deep into the problem to find the underlying issue rather than BandAid treatment for the symptoms.
Our experts who are fully licensed therapists will walk you through the therapy and counseling sessions to help you find relief and mental stability. We offer individual, group, and family counseling to help everyone achieve mental wellness.
Counseling Services
Tailored for personal growth, individual counseling offers confidential, one-on-one sessions. Clients collaborate with a mental health counselor to explore and address specific concerns, developing coping strategies in a safe and private space.
In a small, facilitated group setting, group counseling fosters a supportive community for individuals facing similar challenges. Led by a mental health professional, it encourages shared experiences, empathy, and mutual support, providing a unique avenue for personal growth.
Family counseling focuses on resolving conflicts and enhancing communication within a family unit. The mental health counselor collaborates with family members to address issues, strengthen bonds, and promote overall well-being through collaborative problem-solving.
Tailored for relationships, couples counseling addresses communication patterns, conflict resolution, and overall relationship quality. In a neutral and supportive setting, a mental health counselor works with couples to enhance intimacy, rebuild trust, and foster a healthier and more satisfying partnership.

How Mental Health Counseling Works
When someone goes to a mental health counselor, they are choosing to partner up with a trained individual who can help them to achieve their goals and overcome obstacles. While counseling can sound cold and formal, clinical terms are only used to prove that it is based on evidence and that the advice that is given is more than what you would receive from a regular friend.
During counseling, you and a mental health professional will work together to talk through problems, pinpoint issues where you are being held back in life, and develop new skills to help you move forward. The purpose of counseling is to help you achieve the best in your emotional health by recognizing negative mindsets and working to grow past them. Depending on your specific needs and preferences, you can choose to go through counseling for only a few months or as long as years.
There are many different reasons why people seek counseling. Sometimes counseling is designed to help specific mental illnesses while others help individuals overcome traumatic events like childhood abuse or guide them through marital issues. Counseling can be done by one individual, via Telehealth or in groups such as couples or family therapy.
What are the Benefits of Counseling?
Some people try to claim that counseling has no real benefits and that it is simply a waste of time and money; however, research proves different! According to surveys, around eighty-percent of people in counseling consider it to be very helpful in their lives. The benefits of counseling range from overcoming personal trauma to gaining a greater sense of hope about life in general.
Listed below are several ways that counseling benefits individuals:
Improving Relationships
In life, relationships are one of the most important things we have; however, these relationships can also have problems. From spouse abuse to childhood issues, problems with those we love can hurt us and make us completely unsure how to move forward. Counseling shows ways to overcome past hurts, learn how to best deal with problems, and improve our relationships over-all.
Building Life Skills
We all have hang-ups in life that keep us from accomplishing our goals and dreams. Counseling can help you to pinpoint these issues and learn new skills to cope with the negative mindsets that are holding you back.
Overcoming Substance Problems
Substance abuse is on the rise and many people find themselves addicted to drugs or alcohol. Counseling provides a judgement-free zone where individuals can talk about their problems, understand the causes behind their addiction, and learn steps to break free.
Dealing with Trauma
From childhood abuse to domestic violence, life offers many opportunities for individuals to be damaged and traumatized. Through counseling, one can learn how to deal with these past hurts and get beyond them.
These are just a few of the many ways that counseling can help one to live a better, more satisfying life. Through counseling, you can learn to gather new skills, overcome your fears, and achieve your greatest potential. While some people may be scornful of counseling, it is actually a step in the right direction that can seriously change your life in a wonderful way!
