Mary Ellen's View and Therapy Services

Therapy services from Mary Ellen are based on an assessment of where you see the difficulties, what is contributing to those difficulties and includes consideration of your strengths and efforts at finding options, resolution, coping. There are many avenues to dealing with difficulties and situations, therapy is one means to deal with those situations and difficulties that helps to define options, recognize and work with difficult feelings and provide opportunities for growth in life relationships and functioning.

Mary Ellen uses the approach tools which connect with you, and family as indicated and the situation based on your individual situation, needs and preferences. Mary Ellen offers short-term Brief services and if needed, longer-term. Mary Ellen is trained and well-experienced in the many approaches including Humanistic, R-E-T, Family Therapy, Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral, Psychosocial, Validation, Biofeedback and Stress Management, Crisis and Trauma, CD and Mental Health and others.

Mary Ellen's view is of each one of us is whole, connected in mind, in body, in spirit as the whole we are and the gift we are. Patterns of relating and being develop in us all over time. New situations or difficulties, maybe loss, trauma, challenges, relationships, change emerge where the old patterns can't help or no longer apply. Behavior and feelings have purpose and are about finding ways to function and or cope.

Each other and to our World:  www.PeakVitality
