Are You Stressed? Anxious? In Conflict?
Effective help is right here.

Many times, life is really challenging. You are often awake at night, wondering how to handle all the pressures. Your emotions swing wildly, with more down than up. Fears churn through your mind, and you cannot shut them off. Tears surge up at odd times, and you are pulled down by the heaviness in your chest. Or, you have a lot of conflict in a close relationship. Your spouse, your boss, whoever it is, the strife and negative feelings are so frustrating and draining.

You know you need help. This time, you cannot fix things on your own, no matter how hard you try. And seeking help is ok. After all, if we have problems with our physical health, such as a broken arm, we know it is fine to go to the doctors with expertise in that area. If we have difficulties in our emotional or relational health, it is also valid to go to the doctors with expertise in treating those problems. And getting help shows your courage. It shows that you want to face these challenges, and to overcome them and grow. That can be growing emotionally, relationally or spiritually.

Change is Exciting to See

And when people get effective help, the results are exciting. It is so rewarding to see people who were slumped down with depression, now stand up straight and smile. Clients have learned to conquer the anxieties that kept them a prisoner in their house. Couples that have been deeply wounded by infidelity have woven their marriage back together. In fact, one couple told me that their marriage was better than it was before the affair! Years later, they are still together, and still happy with each other.

These changes are possible for you as well. You also can learn to overcome the negative thoughts that whip through your mind. Shame and false guilt can drop off you. Peace can return to your life, as the stress dwindles. Harmony and joy can come back to your marriage. You can feel more confident, more strength as you go through life.

Help that is 120% more effective!

But who do you see for help to make these changes? After all, psychologists and psychotherapists range in effectiveness from 0% to 75% effective. That is a huge range. A therapist may be unhelpful or even damaging. Or, they may be very good, helping transform people’s lives. But which therapist is effective? No wonder that people are often hesitant to enter therapy because of concerns that it will not work.

However, a revolutionary approach has recently been developed by several different psychologists. This approach increases the effectiveness of psychotherapy by 120%. It is called Feedback Improved Therapy (FIT). The process is quite simple. As a client, you fill in 2 very short questionnaires. One measures how you are doing, and the other measures the therapeutic relationship between you and I. We then talk about whether you are improving with therapy. We also discuss if there is a good sense of teamwork between us, that we are working on your goals, and that you feel heard and respected. Research has repeatedly shown that this process doubles or even triples the effectiveness of psychotherapy, with individual, couples, or in substance abuse programs, etc.

I use the exact same measures and process that has been shown to increase effectiveness by 120%. That way, you get the most effective help available. Your anxiety can evaporate. Peace can come to your relationship. You can grow stronger and more confident in how you relate to others. Your depression can lift more rapidly. And it can be gone for good.

Free Resources to help YOU change!

This increase in effectiveness is accomplished by using the largest website on the Internet for mental health professionals. Not only can we measure the therapeutic alliance and your improvement, but you can read over 100 articles on mental health, and watch dozens of videos on health topics for free. There are dozens of free assessments on your emotional, physical, spiritual, and relational health for you to learn from. There is coaching, cell groups, and many other resources. You can journal anytime you wish about your life. With all of this, you can learn more about all dimensions of your health, and improve it faster than before. The research shows that journaling alone has positive impacts on your health for the next 6 months. Plus, before sessions, I can review your online journals (if you permit me) to get a fuller picture of what has been happening in your life between sessions. Because I am better informed before the session starts, that makes our work together more rapid and effective.

So, do not wait any longer with your pain. Take the steps to bring healing to your emotions and relationships. I look forward to finding out how I can help you.
