More information on this process can be found on the web site: www.cmr-info.com. Many insurances may cover part or all of these services. Pat writes: In individual counseling I can assist you to understand your problems in such a way that you can develop solutions for them. I can also provide you with information or ways to look at problems which will expand your problem solving resources. We can discuss how your thinking affects your life or I may teach you methods to reduce stress and tension for yourself and in your relationships. In marriage and couple counseling we can focus on communication skills to help you to better understand each other, clarify values and resolve differences. I recommend couple counseling before marriage, as well as after. Family counseling is often helpful when life changes occur. These include the birth of a child, children leaving home, children entering adolescence, the illness or death of a parent, relocating or other changes. Sometimes just a little objective support can smooth transitional stages and help to move the family back on track. My philosophy of change can be summed up in this way: As a professional and in my personal life, I have come to believe that happiness and enjoyment in life come from being able to let go of those emotions and beliefs that keep us divided. That includes anger, depression, fear, resentment, and pride. When we are freed from these disruptions in our emotions, we feel physically healthier. Our energy flows freely on an emotional and a physical level. We are free to open our hearts to each other and to our world. This, I believe, is the road to real joy. My goal is to help you cope effectively with life’s challenges using programs focused on your individual needs. Using programs focused on your individual goals, you will learn how to improve your health, relationships, and skills to help you achieve a happier, healthier, more productive and fulfilling life. I offer traditional therapy as well as EMDR and Energy Psychology.
