What is it that makes a person decide to seek counseling? Most often it seems that people are needing a witness to their many different thoughts and feelings.

It helps to sharpen the skills which lead to a life of meaning. The counseling experience is like a workshop, where you can open things up, look at what needs to be cleaned, repaired, replaced. Your life is not a mistake. It's your assignment to live it beautifully. Sounds fun, right!
