As a licensed professional counselor I often work for/with individuals with a diagnosed mental illness. Some of us, however, do not need counselling or psychotherapy, but a guide or coach to assist in explore our spiritual or emotional growth. If one has a diagnosable mental illness one may need a healing plan designed specifically for that condition or illness. During your initial appointment or consultation we will explore which is best for you although you may already know what you or your family needs or wants.
Most of the work I do for/with individuals, families or couples is now virtual, via email, skype/face time, zoom or telephone. If via email I respond at least daily and usually several times a day. The person, individual or family presents a situation or a goal, and after a detailed history of the issues/symptoms I will give you my educated recommendations for taking the next step in designing a healing plan. I cannot tell you want is right for anyone, but the more information one provides, the more I can guide the person(s) toward the decision or direction which is right for them. Most of us have a wise person within us and are adept at using that wise person to help others. We often cannot hear that wise person until we share with another person. Sometimes just writing and sharing that writing will give us a lot of what we need. We may also need medication or other treatment. I will often recommended one consults with another healing professional such as a psychiatrist.
