Counseling
A Spiritual Counseling session looks a lot like regular ol’ therapy - two or
three people sittin’ around talkin’ about living - except the principles employed
are spiritual in nature rather than psychological. I liken it to an energetic
chiropractic adjustment in that the clients’ beliefs about themselves and the world
maybe “knotted” or “kinked” which inhibits the natural flow of their being. Once those knots are released the flow is released and the client has the breakthrough they are looking for. A session begins usually with a time of silence and a short, spoken blessing. It usually ends with a “treatment,” which is an affirmative prayer realizing the alignment of the client and the good they are seeking. In between the beginning and the end a lot of different tools can be used. Guided meditation, visualizing, visioning…good old fashioned wrap sessions…hashin’ it all out…spillin’ the beans…being quiet…drawing, writing. Sometimes I give “homework.” And all this doing floats upon the deep and ever-present unconditionally loving wholeness of Spirit. And that wholeness brings about a shift culminating in transformation
within the client. It works. I have applied it myself in my own life and experienced
amazing results.
People come to me with all kinds of challenges. Some want a relationship,
others are trying to move on from one. Career changes, financial increase, health
concerns, addictive patterns are all reasons to see a spiritual counselor. Starting
a meditation practice and learning to pray in an effective way are skills that my
clients come to me to learn. Peace of mind is always a good motive. I personally see my practitioner every two weeks simply as a part of staying healthy and in tip top shape. Spiritual counseling is not, by any means, a long drawn out process. I
have seen some of my clients only once, only to run into them later and hear that
they are experiencing the very thing we focused on in our session together. My
practice is based in empowering the client to know their own consciousness
holds their personal keys to expanded living.
I see clients one on one and face to face. Some of my clients come to me;
sometimes I go to them. I see clients in groups and in pairs. I talk to clients over
the phone. I write to them via email and instant messaging. We can make
sessions work in your life. That goes for my fee as well. I charge $100.00 an hour
for individual client sessions and 150.00 for couples counseling. And I have a certain number of available sessions for which I am willing to work out
other financial terms depending on the individual client and his or her circumstances. Like I said before: We can make sessions work in your life.
The client/practitioner relationship is an intimate one. I hold it sacred. I
encourage you to read my bio section on this website…or just give me a call and
we can talk…323-428-3740. If I’m not the counselor for you, I have lots of
wonderful colleagues who I would be glad to recommend to you.
