One major difference between humanistic counselors and other therapists is that they refer to those in therapy as ‘clients’, not ‘patients’. This is because they see the therapist and client as equal partners rather than as an expert treating a patient.
Unlike other therapies the client is responsible for improving his or her life, not the therapist. This is a deliberate change from both psychoanalysis and behavioral therapies where the patient is diagnosed and treated by a doctor. Instead, the client consciously and rationally decides for themselves what is wrong and what should be done about it. The therapist is more of a friend or counselor who listens and encourages on an equal level. This therapy is effective with Anxiety and Panic Disorders.
Take control of your thoughts and behavior The underlying concept behind Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is that our thoughts and feelings play a fundamental role in our behavior. For example, a person who spends a lot of time thinking about plane crashes, runway accidents and other air disasters may find themselves avoiding air travel. The goal of cognitive behavior therapy is to teach clients that while they cannot control every aspect of the world around them, they can take control of how they interpret and deal with things in their environment. Cognitive behavior therapy has become increasingly popular in recent years with both mental health consumers and treatment professionals. Because CBT is usually a short-term treatment option, it is often more affordable than some other types of therapy. CBT is also empirically supported and has been shown to effectively help patients overcome a wide variety of maladaptive behaviors. This Therapy is effective in helping people with Anger and Stress related issues.
Solution Focus Therapy (SFT), which aims to help people experiencing difficulties find tools they can use immediately to manage symptoms and cope with challenges. SFT is grounded in the belief that although individuals may already have the skills to create change in their lives, they often need help identifying and developing those skills. Similarly, SFT recognizes that people already know on some level, what change is needed in their lives. SFT practitioners work to help the people in their care clarify their goals. Practitioners of SFT encourage individuals to imagine the future they desire and then work to collaboratively develop a series of steps that will help them achieve those goals. In particular, therapists can help those in treatment identify a time in life when a current issue was either less detrimental or more manageable and evaluate what factors were different or what solutions may have been present in the past. This therapy works well with marital issues and relational problems.

Many who seek counseling have been struggling emotionally for quite some time. That sense of helplessness doesn’t have to be your permanent mindset. Left to yourself you are only going to get the same results. The hardest step is always the first one. Send us an email and share some of your thoughts/feelings in confidence. One of our specialists will contact you and share what the next step should be.
When one is caught up in an emotional storm it can be difficult to see a clear pathway. Counseling can bring objectivity and help find a custom path to a brighter future. Gaining clarity can help pinpoint the feelings that are valid and also those that maybe unproductive. Counseling can help you redirect these energies to better yourself and your circumstances. Go to our contact page and share your situation in confidence with a specialist.
Life is challenging and we all get hurt. Emotional wounds can leave deep scars and trying to heal them by ourselves can be self-defeating. Our counselors have had real life challenges themselves (addiction, family dysfunction and relational breakups) and with true empathy they can relate. The first step for healing is to express your pain. Go to our contact page and share your hurts in a confidential email and a specialist will reach out and guide you to that healing (closure) you have be longing for.
