A Compassionate Journey
_________________________
Pastoral Counseling is a unique
form of psychotherapy that complements social science. As a pastoral
counselor I take seriously the many aspects of a person on this
journey: the mind, the body, and the spirit. In the practice I tend
to see clients with common psychological problems like depression,
anxiety, marital conflict, relationship concerns, parent-child
issues, and mood swings, like manic depressive/bi-polar disorder.
Sometimes these issues present as
body ailments like headaches, impaired sleep, gastric issues, and
panic attacks. When medical treatments have not worked to
alleviate these conditions many doctors, nurse practitioners,
physicians assistants, and psychiatrists may refer their patients to
me for therapy. Often times pastors recommend counseling as well.
By looking at other factors in
people's lives such as the way a relationship might be one sided, or
a lifestyle that is not balanced, and uncovering unconscious
behavioral patterns, many people have found greater relief from
problems they may have perceived as medical.
The process of therapy creates a
way for folks to be more relaxed, more peaceful, happy, and able to
enjoy life again.
Powerful emotions may accompany
your life on these passages of life. Call for an appointment to
begin a compassionate journey and embrace the changes that bring
together a new way of experiencing your life.
