Growth & Fulfillment

growth 1

Self-Actualization is seeking personal growth and fulfillment and is often viewed as a destination or a process. We all strive for personal growth and fulfillment and most of the time we have no problems accomplishing our goals to achieve our fullest potential. A major factor in the success of achieving a goal is how the person plans for the goal. The overall goal is having the ability to tap into ourselves to find what we are capable of.nnIn counseling, we want you to see your potential and to strive to meet your own goals versus doing what you think others expect you to do. Your thoughts are a very powerful key because they make us what we are, how we are, and how our life is. What do your thoughts say about your personal growth and fulfillment? If they are unhelpful, counseling can assist you in that process.

Self Image

Self-image is an important part of understanding who you are as a person. People who struggle with self-image often seek therapy because they do not have a good relationship with themselves. Distractions, preoccupation, and comparison all contribute to people forgetting who they need to be for themselves. You cannot live to your fullest potential when you do not love or know yourself.

Guilt & Shame

Everybody makes mistakes and often this can lead to feelings of guilt and shame. Therapy may involve working through acceptance, forgiveness, making amends, and self-compassion.nnAs a faith based practice we can also help you explore what the Bible says about guilt and shame in the life of a Christian.

Life Transitions

It takes time to adjust to big life transitions like divorce, a medical diagnosis, shifting family dynamics, job changes, and more. Therapy can help you through these emotionally taxing transition times. Change doesn’t have to overwhelm you.

Work & Career

Therapy can help individuals explore skills, strengths, determine interests, and discover personality types. Your therapist may work on goal setting, organization skills, or help you cope with stress in your current work situation.

Goal Setting

Goal setting is powerful because it provides focus. Therapy can help teach you how to set specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely (SMART) goals that you can actually achieve.

Personal Growth

Change can be difficult and even scary for many people, but it also promotes happiness, mental strength and emotional resilience. Learning to embrace gradual change is an essential life skill; real change takes time.
