Our Ultimate Goal is to help you find—and pursue—the person you want to be…
The person you will be proud to become.
Identification and Naming of Emotions
Before any work can be done, we must first be able to identify and name what we are feeling. This is the first and only way to move from our current mental state to where we want to be.
Recognition of Behavioral Patterns and Triggers
To be able to grow intosomeone we are proud of being, we first must understand how and why we act the way we currently do. This will be stepping stone number two.
Recovery Skills
Replacing our previously maladaptive coping mechanisms with skills we can learn to move forward, rather than stay living in the past, or worrying about the future, is our fourth topic of discussion.
Maladaptive Coping Mechanisms
One of the reasons we feel the way we do, is because we are using coping mechanisms that, one, no longer work, two, don’t address the actual emotion being felt, or three, never worked to begin with.
Coping with Mental Illness
Identifying and enacting goals to help with moving forward and out of mental illness as well as establishing balance in one’s life
Setting and Achieving Goals
Discovering attainable goals that we can set hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, annually and so on. This is about setting small and medial goals allows us to “trick” our brain into releasing dopamine and endogenous opioids to make us feel good when we check goals off of a list. So, the smaller the goals the better!
The Effects of (and How To Hold Space for Individuals with) Trauma in Their Past
Understanding the effects of—as well as how to go about holding space for someone who has suffered trauma events in their life—is a goal of ours. We attempt to create a safe and hospitable environment to foster vulnerability and authenticity in our sessions.
Self love
Identifying and nurturing the parts of ourselves that we find beautiful, as well as discovering the innate beauty in the parts of us that we don’t find worthy of love.
Identifying the spiritual aspects of our being
Being able to comprehend that if I am listening to my thoughts, who is speaking—as well as, if I am speaking, who is listening
Time Management Skills
Understanding how to choose which tasks to do first and how to organize our days in order to achieve the most goals and make the most forward movement as we can.
Attachment Styles
Being able to recognize that there are reasons we behave the way we do; whether we are craving intimacy, yet once we have it, we feel the need to run (avoidant); or, it could be that we crave intimacy, but once we have it, we look for reasons to disprove its genuineness and smother our partner in order to make sure they don’t want to leave—which in turn, makes them want to leave.
Love Languages
There are a multitude of ways in which humans beings express our love for one another. Being able to identify which love languages we feel the most joy and pleasure from can allow us to, one, treat our selves better, and two, treat and be treated better by our partners.
Coping with Trauma triggers
Being able to identify what we are triggered by is the first step to taking the power away from it. The human body and mind does not do anything without a reason; identifying the reason, and then making a plan to consciously deal with it better next time is how we go about healing from these traumatic experiences.
