The clinicians at Life Force Counseling treat the whole person. Some of the most important aspects of being human involve feeling confident in the physical body, and the steps we take to nourish that body. At Life Force, we believe those two aspects (Confidence and Nourishment) are married to each other. We strive to work with you to make it a happy marriage, rather than a marriage that endorses suffering.

Nourishment: Did you know that symptom severity of many common mental illnesses, including depression and anxiety, can be reduced through changes to your diet and lifestyle? Life Force Counseling utilizes a framework from the burgeoning field of nutritional psychiatry to help you improve your energy and functioning, in addition to mind-body practices that help your nervous system better accommodate daily stressors. While nothing is a silver bullet, this framework is helpful for those who are trying to reduce use of psychiatric medication.

Confidence: Through improving your sources of Nourishment, we roll out the red carpet for Confidence to make an appearance. Life Force Counseling’s emphasis on sex therapy, mindfulness meditation, and breathwork are key to rediscovering your confidence. Work through longstanding negative core beliefs about yourself and your sexuality, examine previous significant relationships with romantic partners and family, and understand how to reclaim your birthright: feeling attractive, embodied, and at peace in your natural skin.

This is not a linear process. We will weave in and out of the issues of Nourishment and Confidence in a circular fashion as we find clarity.
