Counseling Services

I want to share with you my thoughts about counseling and my services as well as my philosophy for counseling.

I decided to go into the counseling profession because I think how one interacts with himself or herself and others is one of the most important things to consider in life. I have to admit that I wanted to learn more about myself and the counseling profession has certainly helped me to do just that. My philosophy is as follows: I do believe that we are to some extent a product of our upbringing and so knowing about one's childhood is important. But that is not to say that one is stuck because of the past. If one is stuck in blame and shame because of the past then that person tends to display a victim mentality. Counseling can help a person to get unstuck and become more of a survivor, despite a painful past. How does one change? Through the thought process and that is why my main focus in therapy is cognitive therapy. You can look it up and you may also want to check out: 11 beliefs that cause problems (you may want to look up on several sites for yourself).
If one can change the thought process then one can change the outlook and therefore life. It is not an easy process. The mind is a stubborn customer and it will provide many reasons why you cannot change, but you do have free will and you can make changes, and even small changes can have long lasting positive and powerful effects.
