Professional Counseling and Therapy

The Gate's counseling and therapy program is designed for people that are highly motivated and ready to accept responsibility for change.

Feeling depressed? Low energy? No motivation?
Does anxiety or nervousness stop you from living your life? Are you sleepless or losing sleep?
Have you lost an important relationship? Are you grieving a loss?
Ever find yourself asking, "What if . . . ?"
Are you concerned about your child or children? Do you have parenting questions?

If you answered 'Yes' to any of these, then you are experiencing some form of distress (notice 'stress'). Stress is what tells us that we need to do something differently. It is the alarm bell, the flashing warning light in our minds that gets us to pay attention.

Finding Happiness and Balance

A counseling organization offering highly effective counseling and psychotherapy for a variety of thoughts, behaviors, and emotions, as well as philosophical, spiritual, and daily living issues. The Gate works with people that are highly motivated and ready to accept responsibility for change. Professional supervision, corporate consultations and speaking engagements available.

The Gate is a symbol for transformation through mindful consciousness and balanced living. Mindfulness can be practiced through meditation; the benefit of using mindfulness in daily living is that you shift to a primarily 'approach-enjoyment' perspective, rather than remaining on autopilot with 'pain-avoidance' as the main motivator. The difference is that one is based on creating balance, the other is based on fear. Both serve a purpose, however neuroscience is showing that focusing on the benefits of healthy behavior leads to more long term behavior change than a focus based primarily on fear/pain-avoidance (which should be in place, just not as the main driver of behavior).

I work with life issues in a realistic and compassionate manner. It is each individual's responsibility to decide whether or not to follow though on behaviors that help, rather than hurt, the balance they are pursuing.
