I have been going to a counselor on and off since late April of this year. Although I like her as a person, I don't feel as though she is helping me get to the roots of my issues. She hasn't offered any sort of 'therapy diagnosis' or anything. It is more like I am venting to a friend for an hour and then going home. Plus, I didn't know this in the beginning but she is a christian counselor. I am a believer but the constant praying is not helping resolve my issues and why I feel the way I do.
Should I be trying something different? I have been thinking about finding a psychiatrist instead but I've heard psychiatrists really just prescribe medications.
Can someone give me some insight? Who do most people on this board see to help with their issues?
