Beckett Franklin-Gray, MA, LPC
I appreciate your courage for the act of seeking counseling.
You may be suffering from the effects of one or more of the following:
stress, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, anger, life transition, divorce, suicide ideation, etc.
Clients come to counseling for many different reasons. No two clients are the same.
You may be considering counseling for the following reason:
Your life as you know it has become unmanageable. You have exhausted the solutions that you have used in the past and are willing to seek out a new direction.
The good news is that you are not alone in your circumstances. Many people struggle. And there are improvements that can be made to increase your quality of daily living.
Increased well-being is always the goal. We achieve that by addressing the follow areas:
identifying personal strengths
growing in person self-compassion
building healthy coping mechanisms
Often, we will talk about your life values, discuss personal responsibility, being mindfulness of your thought patterns, defining meaning in life and discovering purpose.
The result is typically that you will begin to notice that you are living your life past simply surviving. Living your life on a more profound level is also a goal.
Sessions are in part based on the counseling method Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which falls into the category of "mindfulness", "awareness" and "acceptance" of cognitive thinking.
My clients come from all walks of life and have varying life experiences. I welcome diversity of any kind and clients that come from any level of their own self-awareness and discovery.
All we need is a place to begin and I honor that we all need to start somewhere.
