Welcome to Overwatch Counseling, PLLC, a premier mental health practice in Abilene, Texas. Our compassionate, licensed professional counselor, Eva Foster, LPC, offers comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and therapy for an array of conditions that many adults face.
What does Overwatch even mean? Yes, Overwatch is a military term, not just a video game. Overwatch is when one unit provides cover, security, and surveillance for another advancing unit. Counseling can be the same thing. You are advancing (healing), and I am providing you with cover (to speak freely), security (to never be judged and everything you say to be kept in confidence), and surveillance (ok, this one threw me, but let’s include advice and tools here).
What do we do in therapy? This answer depends on what you need. What brings you to therapy? Sometimes I think that is the hardest question.
Know Your “Why” for therapy- This is a common first question, “What brings you to therapy?” and so many people freeze up at this moment.
Knowing what brings you to therapy can help us create a plan for you that is based on your needs and wants, not mine. You are the driver, I’m the navigator. Make a list of your symptoms, including bothersome thoughts, emotions, behaviors, past experiences, and current situations and stressors. While you don’t have to articulate a detailed list of your concerns and goals, knowing the general reason you are seeking therapy will help you feel ready for the intake session.
