Strategic Counseling is Active and Direct

"Strategic counseling" is active and direct unlike other forms of counseling that are passive.  Whether it's individual psychotherapy or couples counseling, I work with a logical plan on how to help you to achieve your goals.  I believe that you deserve more out of counseling than just being heard and supported.  My active style is to teach you different strategies to gradually change your emotions and emotionally driven behaviors over time.  That way, you can grow to become the person or the couple that you want to be. 

So that you can better understand my approach, I have placed an incredible amount of useful information on this website.  If you want individual counseling or therapy, read about the different types that I offer.  If you seek marriage counseling, then open the following Marriage First Aid Kit to help yourselves even before you come to counseling.

Some Types of Individual Counseling That I Offer to Raleigh and Cary Residents:

    Raising self-esteem and reducing self-defeating shame 

    Anger management & assertiveness training 

    Adjustment counseling & stress management 

    Healing emotional wounds (trauma resolution) 

To Help Your Marriage:

1. Please save this page under "favorites."  You can help us to keep this free service for others by reducing costly search engine access.
2. Use the on-line diagnostic tools and see which syndromes apply to your marriage.  Pay particular attention to a) the Emotional Starvation Syndrome, b) the Pursuer - Evader Syndrome and c) the Delinquent Helper Syndrome.  Ask your spouse to read the same and discuss the reading to reach a consensus.
3. Both of you need to read chapters 1 through 4 of the main book in the kit.  It's complex reading but it's the best synopsis of what really goes on in relationships.  You may want to print out these pages to make your reading easier.
4. You can also read the on-line advice given to others about other types of marriage problems.
