Do you like the life you are living?  Are you feeling sad, stressed, worried?  We can assist by helping you develop options for your life.  Life Options can help!

Options for Personal and/or Spiritual Growth
 

The most important relationship you can ever have is with yourself.  Do you like yourself?  Or, do you find yourself repeating the same old patterns wondering why you feel stuck, angry, sad, anxious or overwhelmed?  You may have unresolved issues that are keeping you stuck or even in pain.  We can assist you in developing increased self esteem, self confidence and self acceptance. 

We can support you in resolving past life issues that are keeping you stuck.  We see you as a whole person and are comfortable discussing any issue that is important to you.  These issues may include your childhood, your spirituality, your relationships, your career or any other issues that may be affecting you.

Options for Dealing with Change

You may feel sad, angry, overwhelmed or even relieved.  We can assist you with changes such as divorce, death, job loss and career change.  Change may be forced on you or you may want your life to change. 

Even making changes you really want, such as: starting a new career, a new relationship, getting married or having a baby can be both wonderful and exciting, and at the same time quite stressful. 

Negotiating changes in life in a way that doesn’t feel overwhelming can make a big difference in your life.   

Options for Couples
 

It shouldn’t be this hard.  Why doesn’t he get it?  What does she want for me?  What happened to the man/woman I feel in love with?  We don’t have anything in common except for the kids.  Do any of these sound familiar?

Most of us get married expecting our love to get us through.  We will help you improve communication, build intimacy, and deal with conflict in ways that will allow you to enjoy the conscious loving relationship you deserve.

Options for Parenting

No experience in life can be more humbling than parenting.  For many of us it is our first encounter with unconditional love.  Unfortunately, we are often surprised that simply loving our children unconditionally is not enough.  Our hopes and dreams are sometimes replaced with frustration and disappointment that lead to feelings of incompetence and inadequacy. 

Take heart.  Help is available.  We help parents with children of any age identify and articulate their concerns in order to develop or restore a loving, healthy relationship with their children.  At Life Options we have both the experience and expertise to walk along side you on your journey to a healthy family.

Options for Stress
 

More days of work are missed because of stress related illnesses than any other cause.  We all have stress and no one is immune.  Some forms of stress include worry, anxiety, sleeplessness, nagging, or negative thoughts, irritability and a short temper, and weight gain or weight loss.  We can help you improve your ability to deal with stress. 

Options for Dealing with Conflict
 

Conflict is a normal part of daily life.  Yet most of us are uncomfortable with conflict.  We all learned how to deal with conflict differently and some of us learned to avoid conflict at all costs.  Conflict may be associated with anger or with withdrawing or with other behaviors that hinder authentic communication. 

Whether conflict is at work, with friends or with your family, we can assist you in dealing with conflict in a way that is comfortable for you. 

Options for Dealing with Divorce
 

Divorce and its fallout frequently catch us by surprise.  Divorce may feel devastating like your whole world is being ripped apart.  Shock, sadness, fear, anger, overwhelmed, loneliness, decreased self-esteem and even perhaps relief are some of the many common feelings associated with people going through divorce.  

Whether the divorce was your choice or chosen for you, divorce forever changes your life:  financially, emotionally, and spiritually.  It changes your relationships with friends, your family and your children.  We can assist you putting your life back together, dealing with your ex and with single parent issues. 

Options for Coaching
 

Often counseling is the best option.  For others life coaching is the best option.  Coaching in the areas of life balance, transformation, personal growth, and relationships may be most effective.  Coaching is a different option than therapy.  Counseling is generally most appropriate if your issues are primarily because of issues from your past or feelings of depression or anxiety.  Coaching is generally most appropriate if you are ready to develop and take action toward greater joy and achieving your personal goals and objectives. 

Both counseling and coaching have value.  We would be glad to talk with you about whether coaching or counseling would be a better fit for you.
