Presence

Beyond the Brand

Many times we face hard-hitting moments or experiences with potential to throw us sideways or set us off course from the direction that our heart desires. These seasons can impact not only personal goals but also our family connections. And it's not simply a matter of someone telling us what to think, believe or what choice(s) to make that'll help things get better. Therapy is oftentimes branded as such.

Rather, therapy offers a supportive space to build upon inner strength; unlocking creative expressions and potential to change the world for the better in everyday relationships; where you draw upon the power of various resources to tackle some of life's most difficult issues - whether past trauma; regulating emotions; dealing with stress on the job; in school; or in relationships with loved ones - the way we respond is crucial. Our choices and perspective matter.

You matter.

How you navigate life by the guiding compass of personal (and family) values and goals, shapes decisions in the present moment. We will learn to line up choices and habits with the future you desire to build - exploring the dreams you have for everyday relationships, your career and inner peace or contentment.

Wounds from past pains are real but they don't have to define us or delimit our future. It can feel that way at times, though. Making choices amidst current stressors does not have to be an impossible task. And working towards becoming the best version of yourself can be much more than wishful thinking. You have a chance to invest in the key person on the planet who can make all the difference as to the direction you take and the life you build, and that person is YOU.

Here's where good therapy comes to the fore. There's no abracadabra or secret formula. There's sincere presence from a licensed professional who comes alongside as you write the next chapter. Whether facing anxiety or depression; trying to find a way through relational conflict; working towards building the business of your dreams; or trying to find your "true north" in the sense of experiencing genuine love, belonging or meaningfulness; you will have the space you need to build the person you deep down want to become.

Who knows? You might just find this to be the catalyst you've been looking for.
