Ecological Counseling posits that the person is inextricably situated within radically specific and interdependent ecological systems. Additionally, the individual carries particular capacities, limitations, temperaments, preferences, symbolic representation systems, and personal historicity through the varying environmental settings in which the person lives. The interactions between the person and environment result in the construction of individual ecological niches.
