Counseling Techniques

The counseling modalities I utilize break down into 3 categories: those used for healing trauma; those used for developing greater awareness and shifting behaviors; and those used for performance enhancement.

A.   Trauma Healing Approaches

These powerful techniques are effective for releasing the painful emotions, negative thinking, and behavior patterns that are at the root of you're your anxiety, depression, or relationship problems. They include:

  1. EMDR
  2. Body-Mind Therapy
  3. Energy Psychology
  4. Addiction Counseling

B.   Psycho-spiritual Approaches

These methods are effective for building greater awareness and self-acceptance, changing unsatisfying patterns and behaviors, and developing the necessary skills to meet your life goals. This approach also helps you to live in the present moment and to open to your true nature, which encompasses the inherent qualities of happiness, well-being, presence, and love. They include:

  1. Transpersonal Psychology
  2. Voice Dialogue
  3. Inner Relationship Focusing
  4. Gestalt Therapy

C.   Performance Enhancement

Performance Enhancement (also referred to as "Peak Performance" or "Optimal Performance") is helpful if you want to decrease the obstacles to your success and start functioning optimally in the most important areas of your life. Examples include boosting your academic or athletic performance, improving your effectiveness as a parent or your work performance, advancing your career, or becoming a more competent performer.
