    Find Your Courage. Compassion. Confidence.

    3 Keys to a Successful Counseling Experience

    Frequently, others have asked about the “3C’’ in my domain name. I’d like to take a few minutes to explain. Each “C” represents a quality I believe we all possess. These qualities are also keys to a successful Counseling/Therapy experience. 

    Courage – You’ve shown courage by beginning a search for a therapist.  It is a courageous act to schedule an appointment. Courage builds when we make courageous acts and will continue to build as the therapeutic relationship develops. Courage allows you to risk being vulnerable with your therapist at YOUR pace

    Compassion – Some of us are great at self-compassion and critical of others. Often clients are uber-patient and overly generous with others; but “speak” to themselves in highly scornful  and demeaning words. Words they would never say to another person. Therapy helps clients acquire a realistic balance of self-compassion and empathy for the important people in their world.

    Confidence  Most of us are confident in our ability to do some things but terrified of others. You likely come into Therapy with an idea of what you want to gain from the experience. This experience will also improve your confidence in multiple areas.  As confidence grows, your goals will also come closer to your grasp. As you become confident in yourself, those goals change. That’s okay. It isn’t unusual to learn that what we thought we wanted isn’t what we needed.
