Therapy

The core function of therapy is to change unhealthy beliefs and thoughts through an accepting and supportive therapeutic relationship. Therapy can improve negative emotions and situations by developing new coping skills or modifying our existing maladaptive coping skills. How we think and feel is determined by our beliefs, past experiences, and our innate psychological makeup. Our thoughts are the labels we apply to events and feelings. Therapy helps identify and reframe unhealthy thought patterns, beliefs, values, and past experiences.

Therapy for Adults, Young Adults, Teens, and Children

Clear Foundations provides psychotherapy and counseling for adults, teens, and children.

Changing unhealthy beliefs and thoughts in an accepting and supportive therapeutic relationship is the core element of counseling. At some point in our lives, we all experience difficult situations and emotions. Therapy and counseling can help us adjust to and manage these situations. Therapy can identify destructive patterns in how we think about and interpret experiences. How we react and respond to stress or being hurt by the important people in our lives, makes a tremendous difference in our ability to rebound from hard times. Therapy can make us become aware of our beliefs and values that are the foundations of our thoughts and feelings.

We all have reasons to feel less than others, to feel shame, or feel like we are missing something in our lives. We are always striving to improve our lives and to achieve a new level of success at work or at school. The problem is, that level of achievement is usually based on comparing ourselves to others.

What if we were able to focus on what we did well and to celebrate our efforts based on our own strengths instead of comparing ourself to the lives of people on social media? What if we were able to be happy with ourselves, our children, our jobs, and our marriages without the burden of living up to the expectations of others? We often lose sight of who we are as we attempt to change ourselves or our children into what believe we or they “should” be. Therapy can help navigate a path to discovering our intrinsic worth and the strengths that we already possess but have somehow lost sight of along the way.
