OUR PRACTICE
OUR MISSION
Renewing the Mind ~ Transforming Lives
We are an Eclectic group of mental health professionals utilizing various theoretical approaches to assist clients in:
-
identifying the source of emotional pain/distress and/or behavioral conflicts;
-
recognizing relationships between self-destructive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; and
-
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.
