COUNSELING

Let me congratulate you on having the courage to seek out help. I remember well how hard it was for me when I took that step myself. I’ve overcome a lot of challenges and worked with people who’ve overcome even more. I know it is possible to design and live your life from a place of joy and gratitude.  Though hard times may come, and good times may go, happiness is something that you can choose each and everyday of your life. “Kena Ha Khotso” (Come and go in peace -  Sotho).

Sliding fee scale $65- $90 (some scholarships)

Philosophy of Service

Everyone is born with a unique skill set of talents and abilities, a special style of being in the world. We are born in balance, but many of us—through neglect, abuse or a feeling of being different—lose our sense of balance and confidence about who we are or want to be.  My job as a counselor is to help each person I work with find (or re--discover) the jewel core of who they are inside and bring this out in the world. I create a safe, nurturing place to grow and risk changing. I combine traditional talk therapy with artistic exploration and diverse career and personality tools to help individuals navigate the white waters of change, and balance logical linear thinking with creative and intuitive insights.

Some of my specialty areas are:  working with individuals in transition, office politics, working with people with ADHD (attention deficit) on focusing and setting reachable goals, designing the next chapter of life in midlife or beyond, working with teenage girls on empowerment issues, and helping people to de-stress  and reclaim balance. From dreaming to planning, resumes and acing the interview…I can help you fulfill your potential and live a life you will love!

Quotes


“ I realize now that I was the victim of bullies in the workplace and I didn’t know how to protect myself. Your support, sense of humor and wealth of knowledge about office politics has turned it all around for me. I’ve got a promotion and I am not stopping there.”

- Individual client


“You have been my lifeline to believing that I can create a different and better life. I love your creative approach and your warm fuzzies. I’m not sure exactly how it happened, but I am on the other side of the mountain now and things look a lot different from here. My glass is no longer half empty. I believe in me, and my confidence is real and lasting now! Thanks Lee!”

- Individual client


“I went to psychologists and psychiatrists for help, but you are the person who really understood my situation and made a difference. Having career counseling expertise, you knew what I needed. I don’t think that I would be at my new job, if it were not for your coaching and support. Thanks.”

- Individual Client


"In the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”
