Bio
" Always, we begin again." St. Benedict
Thank you for your curiosity about counseling. Stepping into a counseling office can be a curious experience. One of the most common reasons people contact a counselor is for help or support with a particular issue or event in their lives.
In addition to seeking help from a professional, navigating the process of finding a counselor for particular needs can can be confusing, and it is not uncommon to have other questions or concerns, like: How do I go about this? Is all counseling the same? What is the process? How long does counseling last? What can I expect?
Being curious and asking questions is a good place to begin. Professional Counselors often have different orientations or specialties for treating emotional, psychological, biological or spiritual issues. Finding a counselor responsive to individual needs is important.
Paulette Jackson LPC - MHSP has been an individual and marital therapist for the past ten years. Her focus is women and couples. Her professional orientation includes, finding out what is important to the client, and offering perspectives about how to address client concerns.
Paulette offers interventions that include: 1) An integrative approach, including bio-psycho-social perspectives helping clients understand better, the anxious responses to life, and how relating differently might help to effectively attend to the needs of our mind, body and spirit. 2) A biological perspective, which can inform us of the benefit to taking life a bit slower as well as how to pay attention to the ways our bodies inform us of the need to care for ourselves. 3) A cultural perspective, reminding us that culture, generally does not provide the gentleness and compassion we need to address life and our selves, reminding us of the importance of self-care. 4) Respect for professional ethics and laws regarding the counseling framework.
Specialties include working with anxiety, depression, grief, loss, transition, coping, non-violent communication, spiritual issues, and marital issues.
I hope this is helpful. If you have questions, I hope you will follow your curiosity to find the information helpful to you about counseling.
