Hello! My name is Akela (pronounced Ah-Key-La), and I am a licensed professional counselor for teens, adults, couples, and families.
If a miracle happened and you woke up tomorrow, what would change? If you knew you could never fail, what would you do? Close your eyes and imagine life after therapy. What do you see, hear, feel, and do?
Virginia Satir, a renowned therapist, once said, “There are five freedoms: The freedom to see and hear what is; The freedom to say what you feel and think; The freedom to feel what you actually feel; The freedom to ask for what you want; The freedom to take risks on your own behalf.” Have you decided it’s time to be free?
In therapy, you will have the opportunity to be seen and heard. You will learn to understand yourself and others. You will find yourself looking, feeling, and acting more confident. You will have the freedom to enjoy who you are, what you have, and what can still be for you.
When you’re ready to start living the life you imagined, please call our office or click below to schedule an appointment.
