I have over 20 years experience in the mental health field. I know that people are able to make changes in thoughts and feelings. I support wellness. The sessions you attend with me are for your total well-being. You can call them your well-being sessions. Each session you attend is like an investment in yourself. I provide examples, homework, and support resources in video and text.
The first session is an introduction. I would like to know if you have participated in counseling before and if it was beneficial and what you have learned. I also would like to know what you would like to change. This session is also getting to know me and my getting to know you. It is a begining for a new understanding of who you are and how you function in the world. If you feel a good connection then we can move forward, if not, then you will continue to look for a counselor that works for you.
I am a wellness counselor, I subcribe to YOUR well-being, not to sickness. I believe you have the ability to make changes that will benefit you and your well-being. There will be times when a crash comes, or feeling overwhelmed seems to take over, but overall, you will know that you CAN move forward and that you really want to make a productive change.
You want to feel better, or maybe you just want to vent some emotions, but either way, you are motivated to do what you need to do to invest in your well-being. I will provide you with resources that you will use on a daily basis.
How you think is linked to how you feel and act, being able to make changes in the thought process can be life changing.
Learning to be mindful each day can really help to be more relaxed and open to life.
