OUR APPROACH
Empowering Options is one of the most effective counseling approaches because our philosophy is to be uniquely on the side of the client. We concentrate on helping you learn, explore, and create your options. Options are in the perspective – the beliefs that you view yourself and the world through.
As children, we believe what the adults in our lives tell us about the world and especially about ourselves. Not only does this affect us as children, but it profoundly affects us as adults. These messages intensely impact our view of ourselves, our level of self-acceptance, and how we act in our lives and in our intimate relationships.
If we’re told, as children, that we are bad, wrong, or not enough, we grow up to believe we are those things to one degree or another. As children, if we’re treated, on any level, as if there’s something wrong with us, we believe it.
This belief becomes our view of ourselves and influences all areas of our lives, especially as partners or parents. We get the message, from an incredibly young age, to think and feel against ourselves. We focus on what we do wrong. This leaves us not knowing how to be on our own side as we learn to manage the challenges of our lives.

To help you view yourself and your life differently. Change the beliefs; understand your options and you change your experience. That’s what our individual, couple’s and group sessions, workshops and classes are all about: being on the side of the client. There is no assumption that what you are doing or feeling is wrong. We don’t assume that you need to be fixed. Our goal is for you to feel empowered, esteemed and effective in your own life from the first session –guaranteed.
You won’t have to assume we understand what you are trying to tell us. There is no doubt if we understand what you are feeling / sharing. We demonstrate throughout each individual, group or couples session, not only that we understand, but how we understand. We know that being understood is one of the basic fundamentals of not only effective counseling, but of real connection and change.
Our approach is a collaboration of your concerns, feelings and thoughts combined with new information, perspectives, and options. We fit people’s lives by being on your side and providing a supportive and empowering approach that makes it possible for you to create the changes you want at the pace you’re most comfortable with. We strive to keep you interested and interactive; energized and supported. Our guarantee is that you leave each session with a new, more powerful way of looking at things.
Empowering Options brings an innovative approach to the counseling experience. The focus is always on empowering the client and teaching clients how to so the same for themselves. Using a unique combination of insight, perspective, and objective observation, clients are given the information, tools, and self-belief to change their lives.

Sessions are filled with interactive conversations - not empty stares, silence, or rhetorical questions. You don’t have to assume we understand your feelings or concerns because we consistently demonstrate our understanding. If you ask a question you can expect a direct and straightforward answer. We don’t believe you should spend your time and money with a therapist that responds “What do you think?” or “How does that make you feel?” when you ask for their expertise.
We teach you how to create options that will empower you throughout your life. Our innovative style, along with a fun and thought-provoking manner, is distinctively client positive and client empowering. We present new ways to look at old beliefs and behaviors that will enhance your life and give you extremely effective tools to help you with the changes you want to make. We create an adventure of insights, esteem and options.
We are more effective in our lives and relationships when we feel understood and empowered. Our distinctive counseling approach meets you exactly where you are, providing support and fresh perspectives for individuals, couples, groups, and professionals. We are committed to being on your side, helping you discover the options that lead to lasting change.
