OUR MISSION

​

Renewing the Mind ~ Transforming Lives

 

We are an Eclectic group of mental health professionals utilizing various theoretical approaches  to assist clients in:

​

1. identifying the source of emotional pain/distress and/or behavioral conflicts;

2. recognizing relationships between self-destructive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; and

3. changing adverse traits into qualities that enrich cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and spiritual health.

 

While our treatment modalities are Eclectic, we evoke clients to:

​

• think critically (analyzing and challenging thoughts, emotions, perceptions, experiences, beliefs, and values)

•  recognize cognitive and behavior connections;

•  manage emotion and behavior;

• clarify beliefs, values, and standards;

• determine the significance of an event or issue;

• consider consequences before acting; and

• explore efficient ways of responding, behaving, and coping.
