Therapy can be a positive tool to help with those challenging times. You will be amazed at how different you
will start feeling when you begin to uncover and change old patterns that have interfered and blocked you
from fully enjoying your life. Whether it's making changes within yourself to feel more peaceful and
confident, or changes within your relationships with others, it CAN happen. Take that first step and move
yourself into empowerment...You deserve it.
Each therapy session is a collaborative experience. As client, you set the pace. Based on your personal needs,
personality, and level of discomfort/stress, your sessions will be structured to assist healing and growth. As
a Certified Body-Centered Gestalt Therapist, I support and value your body's experiences. At the
Counseling Connection, adults have the opportunity to use different modalities for emotional expression. The
use of the sand tray, clay, art, music, imagery and role play can assist in accessing the parts of us that are
subconscious or difficult to put into words.
Individual therapy works through the interaction of you and the mental health professional. It is an
opportunity to learn more about yourself and can be a rewarding experience. In order for therapy to work, it
is necessary for you to make yourself known to your therapist. This is a gradual process, and develops over
time, as you learn to express your emotions, attitudes, and experiences. The role of your therapist is to
assist you in learning to express yourself and examine areas of your life that may be causing discomfort or
stress. Therapy can be painful at times, because it opens your awareness to the ways we hurt ourselves and
allow others to hurt us. With therapy, you will learn to stop those self-destructive behaviors which will allow
you to live your life with less denial and artificiality. Over time, you begin to live more authentically, able to
express yourself more freely and openly and with less anger/resentment or retreating from uncomfortable
situations or people.
When we choose to go to therapy as an adult, we give ourselves a wonderful gift. We are saying to ourselves
that we are worth it, and deserve the best that life has to offer.
