How is in-office psychotherapy different than consultation/coaching via Skype?
"Therapy is about intentional courses of constructive dialogue; designed specifically to focus on the complex, dynamic, experiential and multi-level processes of the individual and his/hers relational social networks. These processes include past history, emotional and social (hi)stories, as well as the very present relational/ personal challenges.
The ultimate goal of therapy is to accomplish a sense of relief from the problem/ struggle; and to reach to a satisfactory level of normal/ adequate functioning visibly experienced by the individual and others who are surrounding the individual/ couple/ family. This process could provide space for emotional and personal growth as well, though this is usually a by product of engaging in the therapeutic process.
Coaching and consultation are growth oriented processes. These focus on reaching specific results; excelling in one's potential; or reaching personal and professional goals in life. In order to reach these primarily defined goals; there are clear steps of action required to be taken from the start. The methods could be also didactic.
All these services are about assisting you at the end; the differences are nuances that we have socially constructed over time. These nuances are mostly about the philosophical stance and the posture of the person who guides/ leads the process as well as the methods s/he utilizes for reaching these goals." Dr. Dilek Wise

"All things are part of the perfect whole; and everything you do, say, think and feel is part of it. Therefore do not limit yourself in any way but feel yourself expand and expand, taking in more and more. You will never reach the limits because there is no limit. Life is infinite and you are part of the infinity. Keep stretching your consciousness. Where is that spirit of adventure within you that enables you to step out fearlessly into the unknown with a feeling of real excitement and expectation? Simply going along in the same old way day in and day out will get you nowhere, and you cannot hope to grow spiritually. You have to want to move forward, and when you make your own decision to do so, then you will receive help from every side. The first move is always yours. So do not waste time hanging back, but take the first step forward and behold miracle upon miracle taking place in your life." by Eileen Caddy

Recently, I see more individuals coming in with an increased existential anxiety. So I decided to share a quote with you on fear.
******** "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually who are you not to be? Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." **************** A Quote from Marianne Williamson Our office will be closed between
