New Perspective Counseling is currently doing only Telehealth. If you are looking for in-person, I am happy to help you with a referral.
People seek counseling for a variety of issues and concerns. I work primarily with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, coping, communication, work struggles, work-life balance issues, family dynamics, relationship dynamics, new parent adjustments, gender/sexuality struggles, life and career goals, reframing self-talk, chronic and stress related illness and stress reduction and management. Life can be stressful and I am here to help you learn how to understand and manage stressors and acquire tools that you can carry with you into future stressful situations.
My goal is to provide you with a space where you can be yourself, speak your truth and begin processing whatever it is that prompted you to seek counseling without judgement or criticism.
One of the reasons that I believe therapy works is because when you have an initial session with a therapist who does not know anything about you, does not know your history and does not have a motivation to get you to be someone that you may or may not be, it is refreshing and anxiety provoking all at the same time. The therapist only knows what your life is like based on your perception and perspective and how it feels to be you.
In my opinion, the most important thing is to find a counselor that you feel comfortable with. There are all kinds of counselors, who have all different specialties, and not every counselor fits every person. But I truly believe that there is a counselor out there for every person. I would tell people that if you haven’t found that fit to keep looking. I think that is the most important piece because it’s the foundation for creating a safe environment and creating the therapeutic relationship. Having a place to be raw and heal is vital to the therapeutic journey. I believe every person needs something different from their therapy journey and it starts with feeling safe enough to open up. Being a therapist is something I feel so fortunate that I get to do every day. I get to witness the amazing strength, endurance, coping, resilience, determination, ability to learn new perspectives and have a greater understanding of their lives and themselves. It is a gift to see people move from pain and hopeless to healing and hopeful.
