Counseling

You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.

Jon Kabat-Zinn

The adage is true: There is nothing permanent except change. 

Within this, challenges that can test our confidence and ability to cope with life may occur. We may feel anxious or depressed, alone and overwhelmed, or turn to substances and self-harm to manage our helplessness.

If you resonate with this, take heart, for change is the only constant, and you possess the power to shift your perspective. 

In our practice, we believe in your innate capacity to heal, even when you might not know where to begin. Together, we will explore your past, present struggles, and aspirations, uncovering your strengths to pave a path forward. 

With care and equanimity, we will guide you toward self-discovery, where you'll find the answers within yourself. Our assistance extends to a diverse range of experiences, and we are here to support you every step of the way. 

Our counseling practice's therapeutic approach and philosophy revolve around humanistic principles, mindfulness, and a foundation of care and compassion. We believe in each individual's inherent worth and potential, valuing their unique experiences and perspectives. 

Through the humanistic lens, we strive to create a non-judgmental, empathetic, and supportive environment where clients can freely explore their thoughts and emotions. 

Mindfulness practices are integrated to help clients develop self-awareness, stay present in the moment, and cultivate a deeper understanding of their inner selves. We emphasize care and compassion as essential components of the therapeutic relationship, fostering a safe space where clients can feel genuinely heard, seen, and understood.

Testimonials

  • Joanne helped me through a very dark time in my life. Family problems, abusive relationships, and constant stress had left me emotionally numb and mentally paralyzed. Joanne did not tell me how to see the light at the end; she guided me gently, with genuine compassion and determination. She never gave up on me, even when I was so distraught that I couldn’t see past the nothingness.

    Everyone feels overwhelmed, and most of us don’t know why.

    I now understand that it was never outside forces. It was always me. I have a peace in my mind and body that I never thought possible.

    I credit Joanne for guiding me to this point.

    Her counsel remains one of the most significant influences in my 50 years of life, and every day that I face tribulation with a sense of calm, I am grateful to her.
