Using a holistic approach, Rehabilitation Counseling looks at the entire person, helping people with physical, mental, developmental, or emotional disabilities live a more independent and fulfilling life.
Rehabilitation Counselors work with clients with different types of disabilities to help them overcome and manage the personal, social, or psychological effects of disability—rehabilitation counselors can provide emotional support and guidance to help you focus on individual, vocational, employment, or independent living goals.
Ideal candidates for rehabilitation counseling are:
- Individuals diagnosed or identified as neurodiverse (Autism Spectrum, ADHD/ADD, and other learning disabilities)
- Individuals suffering from social anxiety
- Individuals re-integrating back into society/family/work after an inpatient treatment
- Families/partners/children living with individuals with disabilities
- Individuals learning to adapt to a significant physical life change
- Individuals looking to make a career change by rediscovering themselves through career exploration
