Some thoughts about counseling
Psychotherapy or counseling is about entering into an important relationship for the purposes of self-exploration, looking at old problems from new perspectives, and experiencing yourself differently in a relationship than you may have in the past. It requires courage, a letting go of pride, and an openness to re-considering what you believe to be true about yourself and others. I work hard to provide an atmosphere for this to take place, as free as possible from shame or judgment. Hopefully, you can expect hefty doses of wisdom and humor in the midst of all of the hard work. Look for us at http://www.heritageprofessional.com
