These days many people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and depressed. Sometimes they feel as if no matter what they do, it isn't enough and either they or those around them are never happy with themselves. How about you? Are you trying to manage being the best parent, spouse, and employee that you can be? Are you struggling with a recent life transition or loss of a loved one or relationship? Are you lying awake at night reviewing the list of things you think you should have accomplished? Or are you ruminating on what you said to someone, how you said it, and what you should have done differently? You are not alone!

Emotional supportive therapy in meeting my client's needs is paramount to their success. Not just listening to what they are saying, rather hearing what they are not saying to guide them in discovering their own needs. Working as a team to help them discern, process, embrace adversity and employ resiliency in the challenges they face. Guiding clients in an overcomer mindset, rather than being overcome. Teaching them how to be a human-being as opposed to a human-doing in order to find peace, harmony and balance in their whole being.

Sylphia Lindsay, LMHC, CAP, CTT, also trained in somatic experience (SE). My philosophy is that counseling is an important aspect of personal growth for all persons. I believe that in a person's journey, growth is about guidance - seeing yourself through a different lens. That can be found spiritually, through self-help, individual therapy, etc. I believe the growth starts within the person, and therapy is the assistance that guides you to the higher sense of awareness. That higher sense of awareness allows you to achieve higher goals.

We must lead by example. I also am a strong believer in the power of connection. If you cannot connect with your therapist, research says that therapy is not likely to be effective. I prioritize the therapeutic relationship above all else. That is my foundation. That means I pride myself on not being a robot.
