Therapy for Life Transitions
Whether you're going through a positive change like a job promotion, or a difficult change like a divorce, counseling can help. Good stress or bad stress... it's all stress, so it helps to have tools and strategies to navigate times of change.
Besides being stressful, major life changes offer opportunities, if you choose to see them. Take the time to pause, reflect and see your next best move, even in adversity. It is from this mindset of personal power that counseling can help.
The 4 Steps of Positive Change in Therapy
Assessment
Without awareness, thoughts and habits control us. With awareness, we have power. Step one
empowers you as the observer, not the victim, of your own thoughts and actions.
Skills
Step two
is learning the skills to stop the negative patterns that keep you stuck, so you can generate the momentum and confidence to make consistent, positive choices.
Habits
Awareness and skills are great, but they need to be put into action. In step three, I teach you the habits that reinforce your progress, so you stay on track and don't slip back.
Thriving
Step four
puts it all together. Awareness, skills, and habits are practiced regularly to create a new baseline, a new standard for yourself that aligns with your true potential.
