counselors

A counselor is a trained expert who helps people with their problems or feelings. They often work in schools, hospitals, or private practices.

When someone says they're seeing a counselor, it usually means they're going to talk to this professional about something that's bothering them - maybe school stress, a relationship issue, or even just feeling really down. Counselors use what you say to understand what's going on and help you figure out solutions or coping strategies. They might ask questions, listen carefully, and offer suggestions or exercises to try at home. It's kind of like talking to a trusted friend, but with the added benefit of professional guidance and support. Some people go to counselors just for a few sessions to work through something specific, while others see them regularly as part of their regular routine.
