You want more than just feeling better - you want to create a better life for yourself and those you love. The problem is that you're stuck. You've tried everything you can think of and you still feel bad - physically, spiritually, mentally. If anxiety, panic, sadness, lack of motivation, anger, confusion, or frustration wasn't standing in your way can you imagine what you would do next? If you were willing to have that difficult conversation with your loved one without fearing it'll end in a blow up or in shut down - could life be better?

Parenting is hard. Parenting a special needs child is harder. Kids don't come with owner's manuals. If your child happens to have special needs, the situation is often confusing. You want nothing more than to help your child. It's what we do when our children are struggling. Sometimes you just don't know what to do to help. It can leave feeling helpless. You are not alone. I know from personal and professional experience what it takes to make major changes. No matter the nature of his struggle, be it autism, adhd, or some other challenge, you can help your child.

My name is Ziyad Elassal. As someone who has personally experienced the challenges and consequences of addiction, I understand the turmoil you may be going through. In fact, I almost lost my life in my own battle with addiction. But with the help of an amazing counselor, I was able to break free from the chains of addiction and embark on a journey of recovery. Having walked the path of recovery myself, I am deeply committed to helping others find hope and healing. I became a counselor because I wanted to inspire others through my own recovery story, showing them that a better life, free from the grips of addiction, is possible.

Therapy is about where you are and where you want to go. It is about acceptance of your values and the goals that you seek. Therapy doesn't have to be a long painful journey. Resolving conflicts, getting over issues, or addressing unwanted feelings should be a positive quest. I believe in short term therapy which has been successful with my Adult and Adolescent clients who experience depression, anxiety, trauma and other symptoms. Life Coaching-Therapy can help uncovering the patterns of feelings, thoughts or patterns of behavior that have interfered with our goals.

You are looking at potential therapist's profiles...Why? Perhaps your life is not going the way you thought it would? Because none of us have received the perfect love we were designed for, we are all wounded and even traumatized to some degree. That trauma plays out in how we choose to relate to others. We did the best we could at the time, but now we can choose a different way, maybe a better way, to live and to love. Would you allow me to listen to your story, identify how you've been harmed, how you've chosen to deal with the harm, and help you find better ways to deal, and therefore, to live.

Male Therapists

As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?

There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.

How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?

Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.

Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?

Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.

Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?

Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
