Medical Counseling As an experienced healthcare provider, Jean Kuty, LAc, LPC offers Medical Counseling to assist people who live with medical issues or illness, either personal or in the family. Medical counseling also addresses issues related to aging. When your life changes because of a health problem or because of issues related to aging, it can be a stressful and overwhelming experience.  This is true whether you are experiencing the health problem or if it is a family member or friend close to you.   This can lead to anxiety or depression. Together we can explore the symptoms, the illness, and the impacts that arise. An illness has a very personal impact as one experiences emotion such as sadness, anger, or fear. An illness also impacts one’s lifestyle and relationships. A web of outer concern will arise at the same time you are experiencing the personal effects of the illness.  Medical counseling offers assistance in processing the personal impact of the illness as well as the impact it has on one’s lifestyle and relationships. Since 1997, Jean has been with working with clients who have illnesses in her acupuncture private practice.  She has also worked at Idaho Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Center, a chronic pain clinic, for five years. In October of 2007 Jean received her credentialing as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in order to further assist her clients. Jean has specialized training in counseling to offer you support and guidance during a difficult time. Medical counseling encourages both wellness and healing. Medical studies have shown that techniques which connect mind, body, and spirit can help with: -  Faster recovery from surgery; -  Stress management; -  Fewer side effects from from treatments such as chemotherapy; -  Lower risk of high blood pressure and heart attack. If you or someone close to you is experiencing symptoms related to an illness, or issues related to aging, Jean can help you explore:    -  The personal impact you are experiencing;                                                     -  The impact on your lifestyle and relationships;    -  The symptoms and how they affect your inner world and your outer world.
