Patient-Centered Counseling

Patient-Centered Counseling is an approach in healthcare where the focus is on understanding and respecting the patient's individual needs, preferences, and values. It encourages open communication between the patient and healthcare provider, allowing the patient to take an active role in their care decisions. This method emphasizes listening carefully, providing support, and tailoring medical information to help patients make informed choices about their health. Ultimately, it aims to improve health outcomes by fostering a partnership where the patient's perspective is central to the treatment process.
