Genetic Counseling

The National Society of Genetic Counselors defines genetic counseling as the process of helping people understand and adapt to the medical, psychological, and familial implications of genetic contributions to disease. Genetic counseling is generally provided by a specially-trained healthcare professional (most often a master’s-trained genetic counselor or physician, or, occasionally, a nurse or social worker).
