At Arise, We Believe All Counseling and Coaching
Should be Transformational!
You may be wondering, “What’s it like working with a Therapist?” That’s a great question…
If you’ve tried therapy before, but your experience has been less than helpful…
- The Therapist talked the whole time and didn’t really listen
- Tools or practices didn’t feel relevant to you or you didn’t receive any
- You didn’t feel heard, validated, or truly understood
- You didn’t feel safe and protected
- Suggestions felt like “band-aid” solutions
- Your Therapist listened and supported you, but you didn’t experience real transformational change
- Guided through a “cookie cutter” process that didn’t fit your needs & desires
- The Therapist told you what you should do or how you should feel, and it wasn’t helpful
You’re not alone. Many people tell us that’s what therapy has been like for them.
Here we approach therapy from a completely different perspective.
Our counselors are transformational Therapists — they’re highly gifted, intuitive, and focused on providing a safe, supportive environment while also getting you results! Many of our Therapists are coaches and mentors too – we combine the most effective elements that help you resolve unique challenges and produce powerful change in every area of life so you no longer have to struggle, strive, or survive. Instead you are equipped and empowered to Thrive in the Life of Freedom and Fullness you were created for.
Whether you’re looking for:
- Therapy to help you address a specific problem, resolve personal challenges, focus on healing, and/or feel emotionally supported
- Life Coaching to clarify and achieve your personal and professional goals and realize your full potential to create and enjoy the life you love
- Leadership, Organizational, and/or Business Coaching to achieve your personal, professional, and organizational goals and dreams while enjoying the freedom, impact, and abundance you were made for
- Mentoring from a personal guide with the experience and wisdom to help you grow and develop personally and relationally, resolve life challenges, deepen your spiritual connection, and achieve your goals
We can help.
We like to think of it like this. Counseling is unraveling a ball of yarn, while coaching is knitting a sweater! The difference lies in gaining an understanding of self (counseling) vs. evolution of self (coaching). Mentoring is having a wise advisor guide you in doing a bit of both at any point along your life journey.
And all three of these work together to truly support you in achieving the outcomes you’re looking for when you reach out for support and guidance! So let us help in a different way – click here to share the challenges you’re experiencing and/or results you’re searching for, and we’ll connect you with the therapist, coach, or mentor on our team best suited to help you.
Thrive in a Life of Freedom and Fullness!
