Deep inside each of us is a reservoir of wisdom, of knowing what is true for us. Granted, that inner wisdom maybe be layered over with negative messages, unexamined beliefs acquired years ago, noise from the busy-ness of our lives and the chaos of the world, or personal doubt, lack of confidence, confusion. Being present in the body so that we can access that inner wisdom is a crucial aspect of counseling and doing so can help us find the way forward in life. Learning to be fully present in the moment is a gift we can give ourselves as we live our lives and move toward healing and well-being.

We are all looking for love. Authentic self love takes time, attention and oftentimes help. Looking for it outside of yourself is exhausting, demoralizing and depressing. Believing that there must be something wrong with you is isolating and terrible for the self esteem required for a healthy relationship. You are tired of feeling like a beggar, when you know you have so much to give. You know you are amazing and are at loss as to how to get what you need and want in a partner. You’d like a relationship with mutual love, respect and deep connection. You would also like to feel great about yourself in the context of a relationship

I am a retired high tech executive who has embarked on a career as a life coach specializing in addiction counseling. As a State-certified counselor, I’ve helped men from 20 to 60 years of age and from many backgrounds. However, having worked in the corporate world, I’m uniquely qualified to help people struggling with substance abuse in high pressure environments. Addiction is a secondary issue in my view. The problem is most people approach life in a reactive, rather than proactive mode. This usually results in sub-optimal outcomes. I will help you with personal and professional life planning to get your life on track.

My approach utilizes integrative psychotherapy, coming from the perspective of addressing the “whole person”. Considering thoughts, feelings, behavior, and the way our life experiences have shaped the way we see and function in the world.

Hello! My name is Amanda. My work is grounded in acceptance, authenticity, compassion, creativity, trust, humor and safety. Transformation can be messy, intimidating, confusing and even scary.

I see my role to be a facilitator, guide and collaborator with you on your path to inner wisdom and self-discovery. I value building a strong therapeutic relationship from which we can explore narratives, patterns and behaviors that no longer serve your well being.

My clients meet with me from the comfort of their own home or wherever they may be. I work remotely, but have some in-person appointments as well. I bill in 15 minute increments for self-pay clients to allow flexibility for my client's needs. I do not require an appointment and will take calls if I'm available to allow for short talks as needed, or call you back as soon as I am available. My goal is to make something that may be uncomfortable and inconvenient for some people as comfortable and convenient as possible. There is no waiting 3-4 weeks for an appointment and or wasting time in the first session filling out paperwork.

Hi! My name is Tania. I have been a Mental Health Therapist for 16 years and I offer an alternative approach to psychotherapy moving beyond traditional, diagnosis-focused mental health services. It is about understanding the adaptations you made to feel safe, processing your own story of experiences, discovering new insights, and feeling empowered to design the life you envision. Whether you’ve experienced loss or change suddenly or gradually unfolding over time, it can be deeply distressing. Your expressions of distress, in whatever form they take, are a way of communicating your needs for health and happiness.

Brene Brown says, "Daring greatly means the courage to be vulnerable. It means to show up and be seen. To ask for what you need. To talk about how you’re feeling. To have the hard conversations." Counseling can feel vulnerable, challenging and anxiety provoking; I get it. It takes a lot of courage and strength to reach out for support. My role as a therapist is to provide you a safe space to be vulnerable, courageous, real and imperfect; for you to come as you are and to just be.

Making the decision to go to a counselor/psychotherapist is a true act of courage. I honor you for taking this courageous step. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with all types of addictions ie alcohol,drugs,sex,food,gambling. I view addictions in a broader sense to include self defeating thought patterns, love/relationship addiction, hoarding, internet use, procrastination. Addictions are about avoiding pain and getting trapped in a repetitive cycle of thoughts and behaviors that result in more pain and regret. I provide my clients with a roadmap to follow as they seek to reclaim their self-esteem, integrity and joy.
