Therapy Focuses
Integrating the Good Girl & the Phenomenal Woman
A specialized therapeutic journey for those that identify as being labeled the "Good Girl" growing up. This involves engaging the client in a three phase of counseling:
- Exploring the origin of the "Good Girl" archetype for the client by gaining insight into their childhood experiences, family dynamics, and parent-child relationship.
- Enhance the self-worth of client currently by tapping into the Phenomenal Woman archetype. This allows for the Phenomenal Woman to heal their Good Girl.
- Integration of the Good Girl (Inner Child) and the Phenomenal Woman (Adult).
There is no specific timeline for completion of the three phases, healing journeys vary from client to client. Keep in mind Self-Worth is a life long journey- there is always something to be unlearned, relearned, reframed, and understood about oneself.
Other presenting concerns such as depression, anxiety, daily life stressors, grief/loss, and interpersonal relationship conflicts will be addressed as desired by the client. This is offered virtually and in person.
Parent-Child Relationship COunseling
Counseling can be incredibly beneficial for the repairing and strengthening the parent child-relationship. This therapy service is offered to parent-child dyads (child must be at least 13 years of age). Treatment is focused on gaining insight into generational patterns and trauma, increased empathy, healthy boundary setting, and individualized factors contributing to relationship dissatisfaction/conflict.
Self-Worth
Low self-worth is an underlying factor for many individuals experiencing mental health concerns. Depression, anxiety, interpersonal relationship distress, lack of purpose/meaning, difficulty with emotional regulation, challenges with setting boundaries, and hopelessness are a few of the byproducts of low-self worth. With this therapeutic focus we will:
- Differentiate between self-esteem and self-worth.
- Explore the when/how/by whom self-worth was taught or modeled to the client.
- Identify contingencies of self-worth (what our self-worth is based on; example- appearance or relationship status)
- Reframe the client's definition of self-worth as they learn to discover meaning/purpose/value in themselves.
There is no specific timeline for completion of this therapeutic process , healing journeys vary from client to client. Keep in mind Self-Worth is a life long journey- there is always something to be unlearned, relearned, reframed, and understood about oneself.
Other presenting concerns such as depression, anxiety, daily life stressors, grief/loss, and interpersonal relationship conflicts will be addressed as desired by the client. This is offered virtually and in person.
Inner Child Healing
Everyone has an inner child, not everyone knows how to identify when their inner child is triggered, how to function harmoniously with their inner child, and how to calm their inner child.
Inner child healing involves:
- Exploring parent-child relationship dynamics both past and current
- Exploring interpersonal relationships from childhood/adolescence
- Identifying functional and dysfunctional family dynamics, roles, and significant life events.
The goal of this therapy focus is to integrate the inner child to the adult version of the client to promote healthy functioning. Clients will be provided with tools to identify when their inner child has emerged, manage triggers, and connect deeper with their inner child.
Other presenting concerns such as depression, anxiety, daily life stressors, grief/loss, and interpersonal relationship conflicts will be addressed as desired by the client. This is offered virtually and in person.
