Health Counselling in Houston

Support When You Need It Most

During health counseling sessions, our professional team can guide individuals, couples, or families on several aspects of their health and well-being to promote self-management and participation by discussing nutrition, physical activity, mental health, and stress management. At Riviera Medical Center, we aim to provide an open and accepting space to discuss sensitive physical and mental health topics.

What Does a Health Counselling Session Entail?

Health counseling at Riviera Medical Center is designed to support your well-being and thus involves several key components:

Introduction and Rapport Building

Sessions usually start with the counselor getting to know you, as building a strong therapeutic bond is crucial for effective counseling.

Assessment

Our professional counselors will ask you questions to understand your current health state, concerns, and goals. During this stage, you can also discuss your medical history, lifestyle habits, and any specific issues you want to address.

Goal Setting

You and your counselor will set realistic and achievable health-related goals. Those goals will guide your counseling process while also providing a clear direction for the following sessions.

Education and Intervention

Your counselor will provide information, strategies, and a set plan to help you achieve your goals. This might include advice on nutrition, exercise, stress management, and lifestyle changes if they apply.

Skill Building

These sessions may involve teaching specific skills such as healthier eating habits, coping mechanisms to deal with stress, techniques such as meditation to improve sleep, or methods for managing chronic conditions.

Monitoring Progress and Follow-Up

The counselor will track your progress toward your goals and will also make adjustments to the plan as needed. Follow-up sessions can be scheduled to ensure you stay on track and continue to make positive changes.
