    Intellect 3.0company rating

    Counselor job in Atlanta, GA

    Job Description Intellect Care (Counselling/ Psychotherapy) is a collaborative process to guide, explore and/or resolve personal, social, or psychological problems and difficulties. Counselling is most useful when clients seek tools or techniques to support their mental health. Psychotherapy identifies unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviours which may limit the client's quality of life or daily activities and equip clients with more helpful and effective ways of thinking, behaving and relating to others. This addresses moderately severe mental health experiences. Intellect Care normally spans up to 50 minutes.
