Q: What is Holistic Counseling?
A: Holistic Counseling is a complementary and alternative modality of treatment that takes into account the mental health aspects of the individual as well as the physical, spiritual, and energetic aspects. For example, someone may be experiencing a physical symptom such as nose bleeds that may be related to their upbringing and the need to be recognized. Another person may be experiencing a disconnection from God after a death of a loved one. By becoming aware of how we experience and process the world around us, we can engage in healing methods that address the distress you may be experiencing in your body, mind or energy field. Holistic Counseling utilizes energy healing techniques to help bring all aspects of the being in balance, clear traumas in all levels and promote a harmonious interaction between the body, mind and spirit.
A: Your life improves as you participate actively in it. Getting treatment requires courage and commitment. If you are on time, attend every scheduled appointment, are present during the session, practice the tools and techniques learned, and do your inner work even when not in session, you will enjoy the fruits of your labor and will be able to witness your life unfold majestically.
A: I specialize in helping people who are having difficulty with relationships and may be suffering from depression, anxiety and trauma symptoms. I help people reconnect to their divinity, clear and heal blockages, develop their intuition and align their energy with their soul's so they can improve the quality of their lives. My unique approach to treatment utilizes advanced intuition as well as Western and Eastern healing techniques in order to create balance of the mind, body and spirit.
A: Every person experiences events differently. Siblings from the same family may recount the same story in a different way, even if they were in the same place, at the same time and with the same people. The healing technique that suits you best depends on how you perceive the world around you and how you have processed events in your life. Through awareness and exploration, we can identify and work on specific techniques that match your individual style and benefits you most.
A: Holistic counseling is like peeling an onion. There might be a few layers of issues covering the root of issues or there might be a lot of layers that relate in some way to your main concern. The length of treatment depends mainly on your active participation and commitment during, and in between sessions. The techniques I use, combined with my intuition, allow me to access information in a faster way, which can help us move through the healing process faster, deeper and more permanently.
Q: If I'm receiving energy counseling, does that mean I'm crazy? A: Some people are concerned that attending treatment can be used against them or that others might see them as crazy. This is a common concern. Attending energy counseling does not mean you are crazy, it means that you are corageous enough to figure out what your obstacles are, and how to fix them. Attending counseling is a positive step towards improving your life and your relationships. You can choose to disclose if you are receiving energy counseling or not, to whomever you feel safe with. In addition, I abide to confidentiality rules that protect your privacy. Please contact me if you want more information on confidentiality.
A: Contact me for more information.
A: You may already be spending money on things that make you feel good such as going to a hair salon, getting a manicure and pedicure, going out to dinner or taking a vacation. Some of your money may be going to things that might not be as beneficial such as cigarettes, happy hour drinks, shopping or going to casinos.
These expenses can provide you with a temporary relief of your distress, however investing in your personal growth will ensure long lasting happiness and wellbeing. How much would you be willing to pay to find love, peace and happiness? Can you afford not to improve your life?
A: Yes, I accept cash, personal checks, Visa, Master Card, and American Express credit cards.
A: Occasionally, when needed, we can communicate through these technologies, however, a strong professional relationship is needed for it to be more effective. I will respond promptly to emails, texts or calls.
A: From time to time we all experience emergencies and events that keep us from fulfilling our commitments. If this is the case for you, we can reschedule the appointment within the same week, depending on availability. However, if you realize that you will not be able to attend the session, please contact me 48 hours before the session time in order to avoid a cancellation fee.
Q: How do I set up an appointment?
