All of us, at some point in time get "stuck" in finding the solutions to problems we encounter in our lives. Marital conflict, power struggles with our children, addiction, traumatic events, life transitions and loss are common areas that individuals are sometimes challenged with. Even with the knowledge that what we are doing is not working, we often are at a loss about what else we can do that will work. Albert Einstein once said, "We cannot solve a problem with the same type of thinking that created it"...and how right he was!
Counseling can be viewed as "supportive consultation and coaching".
Consulting with a therapist provides you with the opportunity to meet confidentially with an expert whose vast clinical experience offers many solutions and interventions that you may not have been aware of.
Through the counseling process, we learn to identify the kind of life experiences we want to have. We identify faulty behaviors and beliefs that keep us rooted in our unhealthy patterns.
The next step requires us to set goals and be clear in our intentions of what we want to achieve through the therapeutic process.
Feeling alone or isolated with life's problems is normal. The problems we share however are universal.
