Preliminary psychological disorders are early signs or symptoms of mental health conditions that may indicate the onset of a more serious disorder. These can include anxiety, depression, mood swings, or behavioral changes. Early intervention is crucial for effective management.

The number of sessions depends on your individual needs and the counseling plan agreed upon with your counselor. Some people benefit from short-term therapy (e.g., 6-12 sessions), while others may require longer-term support.

Effective counseling often involves clear communication, a strong therapeutic relationship, and measurable progress toward your goals. Regular feedback sessions with your counselor can help ensure the process is working for you.

Your privacy is protected through strict confidentiality protocols. Counselors adhere to professional ethical standards and legal requirements, such as HIPAA in the U.S., to ensure your personal information and sessions remain private and secure.
