WHEN TO SEEK COUNSELING

Sometimes you need someone to talk to, someone who can help...

When you feel you can't do it alone...

When you feel trapped, like there's nowhere to turn...

When you worry all the time, and never seem to find the answers...

When the way you feel is affecting your sleep, your eating habits, your job, your relationships, your everyday life...

When even the advice offered by family or well-meaning friends doesn't really help you feel any better, I can help.

Recognizing the need for professional help is a good first step towards improvement.

Getting help can be of real benefit, providing help for a wide range of problems such as depression, loss, marital strife, parent-child concerns, or emotional distress. It can also help fulfill aspirations for personal growth or self-improvement. Psychosynthesis has one clear and definite purpose: that something of positive value and constructive usefulness will come out of it for you.

Emotional Distress
From time to time, everyone experiences emotional pain. But sometimes the distress is particularly severe or long-lasting and interferes with your ability to function in your daily life. If you are experiencing sadness, grief, or anxiety that is persistent, working together, we can help relieve the symptoms, address the underlying causes for your distress, and provide you with help in restoring emotional well-being.

Personal Growth
Holistic Counseling offers a gentle approach that can help you overcome obstacles keeping you from reaching your goals and becoming the person you want to be. Although you might not have a clinical condition or symptoms, I can help you learn more about yourself, as well as others, and how you can live your life with deeper personal satisfaction.

Relationship Issues
Your distress may be coming from difficulties in your relationship with a, parent, child, co-worker or significant other. Counseling can be valuable in helping you understand the root of the problem and providing you with the understanding and skills you need to improve the relationship.

Coping Mechanisms
Sometimes emotional distress or relationship problems are associated with coping mechanisms, such as excessive shyness, weak communication, lack of assertiveness, or poor anger control. Together we can enable you to acquire or strengthen skills that can benefit many of the most important areas of your life.

It is impossible to get through life without bumping up against our insecurities, our issues.....our "stuff". We are all the same in this respect. You don't have to be crazy, maladjusted, weird or uncool to go to counseling. You go because you want to get more fun out of life, understand yourself better, feel more in tune with yourself and others, be more spiritual, or feel more connected to your community.
