Personal Empowerment is a focus. Since 1974, I have helped facilitate people making changes in their lives or enriching their relationships. We work on both personal awareness and renewed motivation, so that life feels more satisfying. A well-researched method is used __ the model chosen by Human Services here in Washington for working with individuals & families __ to help clients move closer to what they want from their lives. The 'here and now' emphasis I favor catalyzes a strong attitude toward connecting to life and those we care about. To meet and discuss what you want to accomplish through counseling sessions, please contact me at Counseling-NW. The first 20 minutes are free. --female counselor, Downtown Seattle, Washington.
Relationship Problems. Most of us are not born knowing how to "do" relationships; we need to be taught or coached. This is what a counselor can help with. Communicating better is the #1 goal my clients want to address, but often there's more to it than learning a script that fits all occasions. Communication is more than talking. It's about relating. And if we think relationships are easy, consider what someone once said: "Marriage is easy. Staying married is the hardest think we can do." (The saying can be applied to all kinds of relationship.) --female counselor, Snoqualmie, Washington.
