Intuitive Counseling
How is Intuitive Counseling different from Traditional Counseling?
I have 20 years of experience working as a Clinical Counselor using modalities of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems, EMDR, Non-Violent Communication, Authentic Relating, Developmental Psychology, Mindfulness, Therapeutic Visualization, and Meditation. I additionally have training and experience working with clients in the spiritual modalities of Heart Centered Hypnotherapy and Psychic Mediumship.
In Intuitive Counseling I combine all of these modalities into one!
In traditional counseling, the Western Medical model of Mental and Emotional disorders is the basis of treatment. In this model, your mind and emotions are often viewed as dysfunctional or working against you. This model is often tied to Insurance for payment; thus, working in this model, I have had to keep aspects of my skill set separate from my work with clients.
In Intuitive Counseling, I am able to look at and address each person as a Whole Person who is capable of healing mental, emotional, and spiritual blocks without an attached label of dysfunction. Intuitive Counseling also allows me to bring my whole self, in particular the Energy and Spiritual practices, to working with you.
How Intuitive Counseling Works
Many people come to me because they feel caught between two worlds:
On one side is psychology, self-improvement, and practical problem-solving
On the other is intuition, spirituality, inner knowing, and experiences that aren't always easy to explain.
My approach honors both.
Intuitive counseling combines traditional counseling skills with intuition and self-exploration. Rather than focusing only on symptoms or surface concerns, we work together to understand the deeper patterns, beliefs, emotions, and experiences influencing your life.
Sessions may include:
· Emotional processing
· Mindfulness and grounding practices
· Uncovering the parts that are trying to communicate with you through symptoms of anxiety, depression, or physical symptoms
· Exploration of personal symbolism and dreams
· Energy awareness
· Intuitive insight
· Spiritual development and discernment
· Identifying recurring life patterns and themes through natal chart insights
· Shifting negative thinking or self-talk patterns to a self-compassionate model
My role is Not to provide all the answers, but to help you access the wisdom, clarity, and guidance already inside of you.
Energy Reading Sessions
What is the Difference between Intuitive Counseling Sessions vs. Energy Reading Sessions?
One of the main differences is that Energy Reading Sessions are stand-alone sessions.
Some people are looking for guidance in a specific life area they may feel stuck and are seeking clarity to move forward. Areas can include - career, relationships, personal growth, or spiritual growth.
Others are looking to connect with an ancestor for healing, connection, and confirmation in the continuity of life.
Energy Readings are for receiving intuitive information for clarity and are not suited to assist with ongoing trauma or deeper processing of therapeutic issues.
Often the information that comes up in an Energy Reading can lead to scheduling Intuitive Counseling Sessions, however.
