My View of Life and Counseling: From brokenness, we are made stronger.

Ā 

I have found these two truths to be consistent in my life:

  • Everyone struggles to find their path in life, making mistakes at times, and growing in strength through adversity.
  • Our past mistakes can be the most powerful learning opportunities if we choose to apply the lessons of failure to grow and do better.

From brokenness, we are made stronger. With this in mind, I like to help my clients to find their own potential and inner strength to move forward. I use a variety of techniques and tools to help my clients find the way forward in life. I believe that a counselor should become the counselor that a client needs, rather than to try and force a client to become what the counselor wants. In this way, I can align with my client, show them maximum understanding and respect, and journey with them towards a healthier more effective lifeā€“Dr Chuck
