Our approach to mental health counseling
and education emphasizes prevention, wellness, and positive mental health for
individuals and couples. We bring over 30 years of experience with a unique
orientation that blends traditional counseling and psychotherapy with Jungian
Psychology, Imago Relationship Therapy, and Body/Mind techniques. Cost
effective? If you can't afford prevention how can you afford illness? A year of
counseling is less expensive than one hospitalization.

Jung on Enlightenment: As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to light a candle in the darkness of mere being. (C.G. Jung, MDR) . . "The main interest of my work is not concerned with the treatment of neuroses but with the approach to the numinous. But the fact is that the approach to the numinous is the real therapy and in as much as you attain to the numinous experiences, you are released from the curse of pathology." (Jung, Letters)

Psychological Type.
Using typology for increased understanding of oneself and one's partner
furthers growth for individuals and couples. Learn how type affects
communication styles, expression of needs and feelings, playing, "fighting", and
other shadow elements.
Dream Study Groups.
(Educational)
Dreams provide a deep and rich source of insight and
understanding that connects us with a wisdom far beyond ourselves. As we unravel
their meaning we become more aware of who we truly are.
Counseling Services.
Services are available for individuals and couples who may be
experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, and for those who may be recovering
from addictions, abuse, neglect, or co-dependency.
Additionally, specialized
services are offered for Child, Adolescent, and Family Counseling.

"Whenever we
speak of a 'psychological relationship' we presuppose one that is conscious, for
there is no such thing as a psychological relationship between two people who
are in a state of unconsciousness." --- C.G. Jung.
"Human beings
are not very keen on substituting reality for the allurement of fantasies. We
prefer to go on looking for the perfect man or woman, that is the man or woman
who will fit our ideal image and guarantee that we are happy and fulfilled, even
though it leads to one disappointment after another, and adds more and more
bitterness to our cup of life". --- John A. Sanford.
"We have not yet
learned to handle the tremendous power of romantic love. We turn it into tragedy
and alienation more often than we evolve it into enduring human relationships.
But if men and women come to understand the psychological dynamics behind
romantic love and learn to handle them consciously, they will find a new
possibility of relationship both to themselves and to others." --- Robert
Johnson.
Imago
Relationship Therapy is the first systematic theory of marriage and marital
therapy derived exclusively from the study of couples. Its aim is to help
couples create a "conscious marriage". This entails helping couples identify and
integrate their unconscious issues, so that the relationship may fulfill its
natural purpose of mutual healing, collaborative self-development, and
wholeness. The basis for healthy parenting, especially co-parenting, is found in
the patterns learned in childhood and repeated in adult marital relationships.
For "better or worse", these patterns are repeated (often unconsciously) in
parenting our own children.
Imago
Relationship Therapy provides the basis for understanding how relationships
really work, taking into account that childhood experiences form an unconscious
image (The Imago) that is then sought after in a partner. Unconscious images
play a powerful role in the formation of identity and the choice of a partner.
The unconscious forces that attracted us to our partner may also be the source
of conflicts and power struggles that develop in the relationship. These
patterns are then repeated in the parenting of our own
children.
Imago
Relationship Therapy provides a powerful and effective method for helping
couples learn how to heal rather than continue to hurt one another, often
unintentionally passing these hurts on to our own children. By becoming
conscious of the childhood wounds that affect your relationship, you learn to
become "wounded healers" for one another in a safe, intimate, and committed
relationship, and conscious, healthy parenting together!

"Bringing the
contents of the unconscious realm into conscious awareness so that we can know
ourselves and fulfill our destinies is the sacred mission of human beings. One
of the best ways I know of to answer this calling is to examine our dreams. As
we decode their mysterious symbols and find ways to fit their meaning into the
unfolding puzzle of our lives, we integrate the spiritual and archetypal aspects
of our experience and move closer to becoming completed individuals." --- Robert
Johnson.

Body/Mind/Spirit Integrative Health Education
Groups:
Participants
learn and practice a variety of mind-body techniques to increase self-awareness,
reduce stress, increase immunity, and re-energize the Self!
BODY/MIND ENERGETIC LEARNING is based both on the wisdom of
ancient healing traditions and modern psychoneuroimmunology, in which mysticism
and science are co-creating a new, sacred healing art. While emotions link the
mind and the body, the Source behind these patterns is energetic and
Spiritual. Healing and high level wellness occurs energetically as
transformative repatterning and alignment with higher energies in
physical, mental and transpersonal dimensions.
These training groups are appropriate for persons experiencing emotional distress or chronic illnesses as well as those interested in proactively fostering health and happiness. Groups involve an introduction to various body/mind techniques such as biofeedback and relaxation, meditation and prayer, bio energetic exercise (Tai Chi, Qigong and Yoga), nutrition, cellular biology and the effects of consciousness and belief on health, music and artistic expression, relationships and support. Each participant will complete the program having developed a Personal, Conscious Health Plan.
Groups are limited to 6 - 10
participants and meet for 2 hours weekly in 2 four week segments or a weekend
format.
Rather than a shallow approach
or quick fix solution, taking the time to really explore the nature of
personality gives individuals and organizations a grasp of themselves and others
that is not only personally gratifying, but may well contribute to a more
satisfying bottom line.
People who are more
psychologically sophisticated are better able to accept the reality of things
(and people) as they really are, rather than how they may wish them to be!
People who get along and work
well together through an understanding and acceptance of individual
personalities- their similarity and differences - are more productive,
effective, and efficient!
Authentic Management is about
discovering who people really are, and encouraging them to motivate and express
themselves from within, rather than attempting to manipulate and control
people's motivation and behavior from without.
Personality - Centered
management is not about problems or pathology! It is about the natural and
healthy growth and development that is the focus of good mental health, in the
work place and at home, in personal as well as professional relationships. And
learning about such things at work contributes to the value of the work place in
every area of one's life; economically, personally, and even spiritually.
Licensed Mental Health
Counselors may not only be helpful as trainers and consultants, but also have
the expertise to provide a professionally administered and interpreted
personality assessment. Counseling Associates offers certified clinical mental
health counselors that are specifically oriented towards facilitating the
process of healthy growth and development that Carl Jung so aptly named the
Individuation Process
