Individual Counseling
Individual counseling is a process of creating a clear, balanced, empowered and nurturing relationship with yourself and with others; leaving you free to be an authentic and self-actualized person out in the world.
Individual counseling was once focused almost exclusively on the why question, and concentrated intensely on an archeological dig into the past. All of this focus on why generated theories as to why humans behave in certain ways; but was too lengthy, costly and largely ineffective in producing new behaviors or patterns of living. Now there is a whole group of therapies that focus on what we are doing in the present, how we can make changes in the what (the process of thinking, feeling and behaving), and thus create new ways of living. What’s the difference in these therapies? Each therapy has its own approach. Some are mental: focused on changing thoughts and beliefs, and addressing the larger meaning of your life. Others are more emotional: focused on identifying, experiencing and processing your feelings and emotions. Still others are more behavioral: focused on initiating new actions and behaviors. I can help you experience all of these approaches in an integrated way. My skill plus your input allows us to create your approach to therapy – strengthening your life skills and assisting you in creating the life you most want. Click here to contact Wade.
