Anxiety, stress, depression, uncertainty, relationships, and feelings of being lost are the most common reasons individuals seek counseling. Creating a safe, understanding, and supportive atmosphere helps each person uncover a personal block to success. With therapy, an individual can establish new coping mechanisms and more positive behaviors and beliefs that lead toward greater fulfillment and happiness.

Old stories from the past no longer inhibit the future. Clients report feeling lighter, more hopeful, a better sense of their goals and strengths, along with erasing negative thoughts and beliefs.

We all have a certain pathway and purpose for our lives. Sometimes we lose our way and need some help in getting back on course.

We know when something is not working in our lives but it is often difficult to figure out how to change things. It may be a relationship, a career, a mind-set or a behavioral pattern. Let the personal coaching program get your life back on track

Our culture is a pressured society. With the pressures and stresses of life, there can be a need for emotional healing and/or the learning of new behaviors so that stress can be reduced. Old patterns or our childhood experiences may be stopping us from living a life we love. It is important to identify our personal obstacles to success and find more effective solutions to live the life we desire. There are lasting solutions.

What is holding you back?

Relationships can be rewarding and challenging at the same time. Often misunderstandings and resentments build up to a point where communication and intimacy are affected. Janet draws on her work with couples since 1982 in a way that helps each partner feel heard and respected. Coaching both partners in effective and non-threatening communication can help many couples return to a deep and meaningful connection. Issues with sex, trust, understanding, and differences can be resolved in a peaceful and kind atmosphere.

Having trained with John Gray and having led his relationship seminars for over 10 years, Janet's knowledge and awareness of couple issues is extensive and changes can be felt quickly.

Sexual Addiction

For Addicts and Partners

Are you in jeopardy of losing your marriage, your home, your reputation? Are you ridden with guilt about your behaviors? Are you often ashamed and feeling out of control about your behaviors, thinking, and actions?

The growth of the population facing addiction or compulsive sexual behaviors is multiplying faster then even professionals predicted. Affairs, pornography, strip clubs, and dating sights to find “hook-ups” are destroying relationships with the guilt and mistrust these behaviors create. The families also face the financial burden of the addiction and/or the possibility of divorce.

Steps to consider:

1. Understand the dynamics of compulsive sexual behaviors such as how they develop and why they are so addictive
2. Learn about the addictive cycle and how to begin breaking those patterns
3. The role guilt plays for both the addict and his partner
4. Define and understand codependency and how that interferes with recovery and individuation of each partner
5. The importance of setting goals to replace the negative behaviors
6. Support of peers that find themselves in similar situations- believe me, you are not alone
7. Reestablishing trust and belief in oneself and your partner
