Our Mental Health Approach

The development of human behavior involves inherited characteristics as well as our learned experiences. The inborn factors that give force, direction, and drive to our psychological activities, our instincts, come from a constructive mindset, or a destructive mindset. Our constructive instinctual influences are seen in our constructive, loving, and altruistic acts toward ourselves and others. Our destructive instinctual influences are seen in our destructive, hateful, and aggressive acts also toward ourselves or others. These two distinct mindsets are heavily influenced from the environment in which we are raised. I have identified 3 personality types that individuals have when I encounter them, regardless of the problem that they are dealing with. I am a very experienced Clinician who is here to help you to discover the underlying issues that may have been causing you to fall short of reaching your full potential!

What is Wellness?

Wellness is an active and deliberate process of raising your awareness to make intelligent choices towards maintaining a healthy state of mind and body, to experience a more satisfying and fulfilling life. It’s a conscious, self-directed, and evolving process to achieve your full potential. Wellness is more than being free our negative emotions, or physical or mental illness. It is a dynamic process of change and growth!

Why Wellness Matters

The ability to maintain an optimal level of wellness is absolutely crucial to living a higher quality of life. Wellness matters because everything we do and every emotion we feel relates to our well-being. In turn, our well-being directly effects our thoughts, feelings, actions, and behaviors. It’s an ongoing cycle. Therefore, it is utterly important to achieve optimal wellness to subdue stress, reduce the risk of illness, and create positive interactions with others. There are 8 dimensions of wellness, and each dimension is equally vital in the pursuit of optimal physical and mental health. One can reach an optimal level of wellness by understanding how to optimize each dimension of wellness.
