Not A One-Size-Fits-All Practice
What I Offer
The one important lesson that I have learned even in my own therapy is that sometimes the type of therapy and/or the person are night the right fit. In a time where people need the words and the connection that meet their needs, sometimes, most times, it comes with the right cost.
Let’s start with the basic, rapport building. I want to get to know you are and I want you to be able to see a real person sitting across from you that more than likely has dealt with some similar challenges.
The words “I understand will not come out of my mouth.” No individual knows or has lived all the same details of you. However, get to know each other and we find we have connections that allow for trust to build and a great therapeutic alliance begin to form. I have been lucky to have great success with my people within the first or second visit. At that point we are already starting to get into the core issues and work on gaining answers.
What type of therapies do I provide?
I am no one trick pony and that’s a fact. I have taken all the experience I’ve gained throughout life to adjust to each individual and meet them where they are at.
I firmly believe that we have to know where we have betrayed ourselves either inside or out. We might be great and show incredible compassion to others and yet we can’t show any to ourselves. (Yes, I saw that look on your face when you knew I’m not blind and may know a little about the subject what that feels like. It’s not easy to hide the feelings of someone who feels the same about their issues). This is the reason why we start with the ground work of understanding the “Seven Virtues of the Samurai”. When we can reconcile an issue we are going through both inside and out we can begin to move towards a place of understanding what went wrong and what we know we need to do to make it right.
Second, we start to review life, what’s happened, what’s changed, what are the given reactions to situation, and where it comes from. While that’s great, the cool part is seeing where these situation started, how you’ve responded to them, how you may have learned to treat others the way you were treated, and the breaking the cycle.
Third, we look for things that have taken place where we can say “It didn’t start with me. So many of us take the blame for mistake that are not our own. They cause doubt, guilt, anger, and we stop finding our own value. This can be changed, if and only if we can build the map to change and you are prepared to walk it while I stand outside the map and guide when needed. You are your greatest asset, it our job together to help you to be able to see it. It can and does happen.
Remember, when we work together we are family. I don’t see you as a patient or client, I see you as a brother, sister, and so on. That means delivering love and discipline in such a way that you believe that the words offered are for the best and that you know they come from a genuine source.
This is the recipe for success.
