The truth of the matter is – this is not about us, it’s about you!
As licensed professional counselors, you are the one that matters to us! Helping you get the results that you want out of therapy is paramount. You can expect that when you pick up that phone or walk into our office that you will be treated with the respect and dignity that you deserve.
The main thing to understand is that you are not wrong. Your view of the world is yours, and who are we to tell you that it is right or wrong?
If your views aren’t what you want them to be though, and you are finding that you’re not getting the results from life you would like, then maybe it’s time to cultivate a change in outlook.
Our Professional Approach To Counseling
Our approach is very diverse when it comes to dealing with clients. People come from all different walks of life, so we want to make sure that we are completely sensitive to that.
Some people come in more ready than others, and that means the starting points for everybody are not the same. We are here to meet you where you are and to make sure that we collaborate on personal goals that you are comfortable with.
Is Therapy Guaranteed To Work?
Are we going to guarantee that therapy will work for you? Unfortunately we can’t do that, but we will tell you that it has helped many and it will continue to help.
That is a very real concern and we completely understand being hesitant. Sometimes just cracking open that door and letting a little light in can be the catalyst for a very real change. This is something you don’t want to miss, we can guarantee that.
The real question shouldn’t be “how does therapy help?” but rather “how do I want therapy to help?”
If you come to therapy with a goal in mind and what you want to see for your future, then your chances of success increase.
Through exploration of our past and what we see for our future, we can make specific plans to make sure we set you up for success. We must have a plan for how we get you to where you want to be, because a goal without a plan is simply a wish.
We don’t want to wish you success, we want to plan for it.
Sometimes we just need to think out loud for us to hear all the chatter that is going on upstairs. Therapy will give you a deeper understanding of yourself if you take the time to explore.
You will undoubtedly learn more about yourself than you thought was possible.
By digging deep and answering hard questions about yourself, you will gain insight and knowledge into why it is we do the things we do.
When we say “I’ll do it tomorrow”, do we really mean?
What about when you say “this is a phase and I will grow out of it”?
Sometimes the questions aren’t questions and they are simply statements like “I can’t do it” or “what’s the point in trying anymore.” Shame will keep you stuck in those places, unable to move forward, and therapy can help you navigate through those moments.
Therapy can help you to start asking the right questions. We need to start counting our victories, no matter how small they seem at the moment.
Stack up enough small wins and you will look back and see one big change!
