Non-violent communication is an excellent tool for improving communication skills, de-escalating people who are activated, and parenting. I have used and taught non-violent communication for 10-plus years. NVC teaches us to get to the underlying issues behind difficult communication in a respectful and connected way.

Over the past years, I have worked with non-violent communication to help clients build skills in understanding and owning their feelings and knowing how to best communicate with others in times of conflict.

I use nonviolent communication (NVC) as a tool for helping those who are new to awareness-based communication methods, sharing their emotions and needs, or as a first step in beginning to build one's capacity for more authentic communication. I see NVC as a stepping stone for many looking to deepen their communication with partners, friends, and others.

When we discover and learn to honor our needs, we are able to bring more authenticity into our relationships. When we discover the needs of our partners, we are able to be in true collaboration with them. I will use tools from NVC in order to support you in finding your relational autonomy, communicating your needs, and learning how to collaborate around your stuck points.

Professional Counselor Associate

Often, pain and distress comes from needs that have not been met, but sometimes we don’t even know what those needs are. Nonviolent Communication is a tool we can use in therapy to help you understand your feelings, identify the needs they reveal, and make changes that align with your best interests. We can also draw on Nonviolent Communication to support you in expressing yourself to others, which can help foster more genuine, connective, and satisfying relationships.

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) teaches us how to use compassion to access our own feelings & needs & how to communicate with others in an effective way so that everyone's needs can get met. It is a perfect model for those looking to improve their relationships with themselves & others. I trained with NVC's founder, Marshall Rosenburg, & I have over 20 years practicing & utilizing NVC with couples & individuals. I continue to deepen my NVC practice & learning by attending an NVC group for myself.

Compassionate (Non-Violent) Communication identifies feelings and needs, reduces negative thoughts about others, invites empathy, and increases self-agency. NVC directly and immediately empowers the speaker.

Lorraine Storm

Licensed Professional Counselor

Nonviolent Communication is an excellent tool to learn what your own feelings and needs are, as well as how to express them to others in a way that opens the conversation and increases understanding, rather than creating or perpetuating a conflict where each party is trying to 'win.' This will help you develop more compassion for yourself and others, and deepen meaningful connections with others
