As the writer and teacher Stephen Levine put it, “To heal is to touch with love that which was previously touched by fear.” A basic guiding principle in my work is that, when we are able to really see and accept where we are, and who we are, we begin to heal and grow. There is a trust I have found in this, that if we attend to what comes up in this place, it will lead us through.

Personal growth is a lifelong process unique to each individual. We will explore and delve into your values, attachments, desires and aversions to unearth thinking and behavior patters which inhibit your growth. Tapping intuitive self knowledge can generate insights and awareness to live with presence and increased balance as you determine your path.

I work with many aspects of personal growth, including: addressing fears that hold you back, transforming limiting beliefs, gaining control over unwanted feelings, and creating more empowering habits and thought patterns.

Many of us have things we would like to see improve in our lives. Each of us have a different starting point and seeing growth in our lives is a very individual process. We may use a wide range of techniques to help you live and age well focusing on achieving a state of fulfillment.

From taking a new job to dropping habits that don't work for you anymore, personal growth can be an exciting- and overwhelming- time. I help folks stay focused on their goals and their values while expanding their horizons.

My beloved Hospice patients taught me so much over the years about what is important in the end. People generally want to feel that they lived their life fully with satisfying relationships and meaning. Poet Mary Oliver once wrote, \'Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?\' I have committed to living fully in my own life and would love to support you to do the same.

I use everything from meditation to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people get centered and stay that way. Once you are working from your higher self it\'s easier to make changes that you want. I love the idea of transformation and can help you become the you, you are meant to be.

For lasting impact, I have found the foundation of personal growth must be the fostering of a deep sense of worthiness exactly as one is. Although a commonly-held belief, self-judgment and self-criticism do not motivate us to do better; they keep us stuck in the very patterns we seek to avoid. Only when we learn to let go of unhelpful narratives about who we are can we realize our full potential.

In a way, we could say that we are not \'nouns\' but rather \'verbs\'; we are an unfolding process motivated by an inner drive that seeks to maximize our human potential

We all deserve relationships that foster growth and change!

Experience working with adults in learning about the connections between our pasts and present and finding playful interventions to meet treatment goals.

Who am I? Where is my life headed? What does it all mean? These are questions we're sometimes able to keep out, but there are times they bubble to the surface. When that happens, let's work on figuring out what your values are, what you want from the future, and how to get there.

Working towards personal growth and wellness is an excellent reason to enter into therapy. Often times we get so busy in our daily lives, that we forget to put aside time to explore these important themes. I support people in identifying and exploring their own strengths, values and spiritual beliefs in order to live full and healthy lives. This process can begin at any time and at any age.

It is my pleasure to work with individuals on personal growth through self-awareness, acceptance and a commitment to their unique gifts and personality. Using client-centered, solution-focused therapy in conjunction with my unique use of breathwork, mindfulness and contemplation of life patterns and results, I will help you transform your relationship with yourself.

I believe that with healing and processing challenges comes personal growth. My practice is about being able to grow and find your true you. This comes when one is able to see a light at the end of the tunnel and when one can see all the progress they have made at healing and overcoming issues that have stalled them.

Being human is a process that requires gentle, loving kindness. If you want to know the best version of yourself, be courageous enough to go inward and feel the whole you with compassion.

Personal growth often requires an exploration of our value system and step by step planning. A meaningful life can begin at any time and a simple willingness is all that is really needed to get started. We can work on your vision and what is necessary to create a life with intention and purpose.

My first therapist told me that our only real obligation as individuals is to work our hardest to realize our potential. I believe that this work of discovering our Self is a actually an adventure of mythic proportions. Healing, wholing and discovering our innate and unique Self is an exciting and empowering journey!

I believe to my bones it's never too late to create the life you want and I honor persons of any age who choose long-term therapy work to improve life quality, self-esteem & confidence. With over 20 yrs experience, I'm still humbled and awed by this work. I'd love the opportunity to be your counselor, as we collaborate to help achieve a fuller, more satisfying, rich and purposeful life ahead.

Do you want to live with more authenticity? More passion? More creativity? Maybe you don’t have a single defining “issue” but are interested in learning more about yourself and your role in the world. Your motivation is commendable and together we can work to expand your insight, strengthen your resiliency, and reach your goals.

Wow. How lucky are we that you discovered you\'re ready for some personal growth? I am ready to begin helping you grow into the person you deserve and need to be.

This is a vital part of counseling to feel like you are growing in ways that are helpful. I can offer specific activities and exercises to do outside of the session to help make the change that is needed.

Not everyone who seeks therapy is in a state of crisis or pain. Personal growth and the desire to live a life of purpose, happiness and connection are equally valid pursuits in therapy. A non-pathological approach to growth and change is a powerful and affirming path. My training in the Recreation of Self Model has provided me with a lens and an approach to working with growth and I love doing so!

I often like to relate personal growth to trees. In order to grow trees need to be in the right environment, with the proper soil, water, and light to grow. Sometimes trees need to shed their branches so they can reach new heights. I work with you to help identify your values, strengths, and grounding so you can grow towards your light.

My personal and professional life reflects a deep commitment to learning and growth. I believe our fears, habits of mind, and our history can keep us prisoners of the past and future. My training in attachment theory, family of origin theory and practice , meditation, focusing, and embodied life give me the tools and help I need to help you.

I enjoy working with adults undergoing life transitions, whether it be personal, professional, social or spiritual. We examine value systems and explore whether they match up with action.

If you are looking to increase your insight and become more real, more present in your life, we might be a good fit for each other. I'm passionate about growth work! I have focused much of my individual counseling work on introspection and meaning-making, supporting clients who are not just seeking symptom relief, but seeking to thrive.

I wrote my Master's thesis on the relationship between creativity, imagination, and personal growth. By utilizing a Jungian framework of 'active imagination', I show how personal growth can be obtained through creative expression.

I have both the training and clinical experience to treat issues related to personal growth, including academic pursuits, career goals, spirituality, identity development, separation/individuation, and mindfulness-based practices.

We are perpetually healing, growing and learning, but sometimes the process gets stuck. How many times have you said to yourself, 'There's got to be more to life than this?' Or maybe you know what you want but have yet to make it real in your life. There is a reason change is hard. I look forward to sharing what I know and asking you the important questions that will stimulate change and growth.

My practice focuses on helping you understand yourself better and clarifying your personal values. I can help you become aware of the patterns in your life, so you can make intentional decisions about how you want to live your life.

As a Personal Growth Specialist, I view the human condition as a giant opportunity to keep expanding awareness and exercising creativity to meet challenges. Journaling, collaging, dreamwork, I Ching, as well as targeted tools like CBT exercises can be utilized to open minds and break up outworn thought patterns. A personal growth approach can make even the most difficult times more meaningful.

Within every one of us is a story of anguish, perseverance, and confidence that arises from heart-wrenching dilemmas. It's important that we face challenges that lead to growth and reflect on the changes that will lead to a more fulfilling life. Viktor Frankl said it best, “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”

My method of counseling is directed towards personal growth. I believe in growth as a model for learning and work hard to help people grow in their desired directions.

Therapy isn’t solely for those in crisis or pain. If you feel a pull to expand, to transform, to grow, we can work together to explore the opportunities ahead of you. I have trained in a variety of treatment orientations related to personal growth. Be it behavioral, spiritual, or mental growth you are seeking, we will work together to identify blocks to growth and to expand possibilities.

Personal growth is such a broad topic, but I have often noticed it includes skill-building, insight development, and exploration. Whether your are looking to delve deeper into one of these areas or go a different direction, make sure you work with someone you can trust and connect with. Please check out my profile to see if I might be that person.

As humans, we have the potential for healing and growth throughout the lifespan. I\'d like to help you reach your full potential, and integrate all the parts of who you are.

Much of my work around career counseling also speaks to personal growth, and this is related specifically to my E-H orientation.

Many people come to me for help managing symptoms, but our work often eventually transforms into helping people not only survive life, but thrive. I invite reflection on the finite reality of life and the importance of identifying what\'s important to you to feel like you have lived it well.

Much of our personal growth is limited by our conditioning / templates that we have created or that were created for us. To reach our potential, we need to examine the conditioning / templates and break free from them.

Hakomi provides an incredible path towards self awareness. Ego state work also allows for strengths and assets to be identified and built upon. Both of these tools together create incredible opportunities for empowerment and growth.

Regardless of where you are in life, having support as you navigate can be useful. I work with people who are stuck, in a transition, or just want to grow as a person. Through building awareness of how you operate and exist within your story, we can explore how to grow into the life you want to live.

It is my pleasure to assist those who want to focus on how to maximize the results they want in their lives, either personally or professionally.

Do you desire a deeper sense of pleasure in your life? It can feel risky, even scary, to acknowledge that you want to experience more joy, connection, and awareness. During therapy, you have the opportunity to learn more about who you are, your relationship to yourself and others, and to create healthy changes. You are incredibly brave for choosing to pursue a more spectacular life.

I believe that at the heart of human experience we all have choice, free-will and the capacity for self-actualization and self-fulfillment. I believe that all people know what they need, and with the right support and guidance, will make changes that are the most meaningful to themselves. Everyone has growth potential!

Are you interested in learning more about yourself and creating more connection in your life? You don\'t need to be experiencing crisis to benefit from counseling. I provide a space for you to gently explore where you are currently at emotional, physically, spiritually, cognitively, relationally and create more balance and connection, aligning more fully with your values. Join me!

I am a therapist today because I was able to do the work to re-discover my true self and passion for helping others with the help of “The Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron. Cameron’s work, along with others, such as Thich Nhat Hanh and Pema Chödrön, informs my therapeutic work with clients interested in continued growth and personal development.

I believe everyone can benefit from therapy. Self-study can illuminate patterns of behavior and thinking that have been holding you back from a more satisfying life. I believe that you can transform the beliefs that have limited your internal experience and your relationships and you can learn more fulfilling ways of interacting with the world.

As clients have a greater understanding and ability to manage the major impediments in their lives (such as depression, anxiety, etc.) general self-care and an ability to go passed immediate concerns and into areas of long term wellness begins to emerge. I am happy to help clients delve into these areas.

Personal growth is a term that encompasses something unique for every person. A fundamental assumption of depth psychology is that the psyche tends toward expression and vitality throughout the life-span, and coming to therapy for something along the lines of 'personal growth' may be a good sign that a part of your personality is ready to be lived more fully.

Yes to personal growth! This is one of the pillars of a healthy mind: the ability to face difficulty, reflect, accept feelings, learn, mentally reset, and evolve with a renewed sense of resilience. Everyone has the opportunity to grow. Choose growth.

I support my clients in identifying personal changes they would like to make and developing strategies to work towards goals. I assist clients in identifying their core values and living a life consistent with those values.

Therapy is a great place to learn about the patterns you’ve developed (cognitive/behavioral/emotional/relational patterns), explore what has contributed to the development of these patterns, and work to change patterns that aren’t working for you anymore.

It\'s said that \'if you aren\'t growing, you are dying\'. Making changes in our lives and seeking more for ourselves in meaningful ways is necessary yet sadly too rare. It seems society and mainstream culture want us to accept distraction and hollow connection in place of genuine experience. Strive for more and learn ways to define your value, meaning, and the path to more from your life.

Does your life seem unrecognizable and you are wondering how you got here? Do things that once made you happy, have no impact on you at all anymore? It is time to really look at your life and find yourself again. I work with clients to do just that. Find the YOU that you lost and create a life that is fulfilled.
