What is counseling psychology?

Counseling facilitates personal and interpersonal functioning across the life span with a focus on psychological, social, health-related, and career concerns.  Through the integration of theory, research, and practice, this specialty encompasses a broad range of approaches that help people improve their well-being, alleviate distress and maladjustment, resolve crises, and increase their ability to live more highly functioning lives.  Counseling is unique in its attention both to normal developmental issues and to problems associated with physical, emotional, and mental disorders.
