Addiction Therapy

A deeper connection to ourselves can reduce our need for immediate gratification. Dialectical Therapy compares the margins in between our thoughts and feelings. Gaining new awareness helps us work through challenges by allowing us to consider our experiences more accurately. Increasing awareness to our own experience has everything to do with how we relate to ourselves and others.

Humanistic 

Changing habits begin with healing the core 'self'. Self-esteem recovery is at the heart of an integral approach. A whole-self and soul integration philosophy is supported with practical tools for change, while attuned to your individual needs.

Existential

Life changes, as well as our sense of identity can change, and with it increased uncertainty. We all share common needs for acceptance, connection, and intimacy from others, as well as for our individual freedom, security, growth, and fulfillment.

Personal Growth

Changing life circumstances often begins with changing the relationship with our internal selves. This involves a cultivation of our inner resources, intuitive abilities , emotions, and experience with our past. We become better at accepting our shortcomings when we have developed an emotional 'grounding' to work with. This is the base from which we can develop our conscious selves.

Men's Issues

Men's issues are often commonly misunderstood. Becoming the man we want to be is not as easy as simply choosing a path. Changing behaviors from the inside out is a process. Validating your life purpose and sense of dignity is crucial. Uncovering the mental, emotional, and intuitive obstacles is often a matter of aligning our head and heart to our soul. This is a matter of process over perfection.

Drug Dependence / Abuse / Addiction

A deeper connection to ourselves can reduce our need for immediate gratification. Dialectical Therapy compares the margins in between our thoughts and feelings. Gaining new awareness helps us work through challenges by allowing us to consider making more accurate adjustments. Increasing awareness to our own experience has everything to do with how we relate to ourselves and others.

Relationship / Marriage Issues

We are all unique in gender expression, and also follow predictable evolved emotional patterns. Women and men can have similar needs while also perceiving and experiencing each other differently. We may desire acceptance, connection, and intimacy from others, as well as for our individual freedom, security, growth, and fulfillment. Improved communication begins with better connecting to ourselves.

Anger Management

Our past, our beliefs, and what we think others expect from us may be causing us unnecessary pressure, which can turn into anger. Our true feelings may cause us to feel trapped. Learning how to untie ourselves from this 'emotional knot' is an achievable therapeutic process.
