Services:
Psychotherapy & counseling services involve much more than psychology and the study
of the human mind. The services I provide, ultimately are psychological in nature, but are
drawn from a great breadth of human experience. Not everyone has been satisfied with
the range of counseling opportunities described in the directories and websites they have
viewed. Some are looking for something else.
Below you will find descriptions of some of the services I provide. They may not all seem
psychological, but they are. They all involve therapy and ways by which people can make
things better for themselves and for the world in which they live. They all require the
astonishing power of the human mind and something else. Our question is, "What is that
something else and where can I find it?" It may not be where I thought I'd find it.

Behavior Therapy
for You
Not all changes require
you to be deeply
psychological. Solid
research supports a
mechanical change in
behavior. Simple as that.

what we can do to
make it better. Based
upon the group work of
R. Buckminster Fuller.

enjoy being at the mercy
of them though.

How to Be Normal
No matter how creative
we are, and no matter
how much we embrace
our individuality, it is
helpful to know how to
be "normal" if and
when we choose to.

several I work with if
you need them.

It Doesn't Have To
Be This Way
It can be that way. At
every turn, life offers us

Back to the
Surface
Just because we look
good doesn't mean

the skills of being your
outward best.

"Mental Illness"
Don't buy it. If "mental
illness" has entered
your world, speak with
a professional who
doesn't buy it either.
Being sane in an
insane place is a very
hard place to be.

Mind By Design
Can the mind design
itself? Yes. It's as easy
as making rules and
breaking rules. Sure,
we can study the inner
architecture, but can
we engineer it? Yes we
can!

those who are critical
of us. Caring too much
only gets in our way.
Learn to deal with
criticism and thrive.
