Myths About Counseling
A widely held misunderstanding about counseling is that it is only for people who are ‘disordered’ in some way. This belief prevents some people from taking advantage of counseling: an incredibly valuable, potentially life-changing experience.
Evolution motivated by distress is a part of a normal, healthy life -- but due to the stigma around traditional ‘mental health treatment’ people in search of personal growth and emotional wellness may seek help elsewhere. They turn to self help programs and alternative practitioners – which can be very helpful. However, they may overlook psychotherapists with a positive, wellness orientation like Lisa Huybrechts, M.A. who have spent many years in intense training developing their skills of helping people to grow.
At Growing Self, Lisa's counseling practice is reclaiming positive psychology. When you meet with Lisa you will not be pathologized or labeled. You will have the opportunity to develop yourself in a safe place with a therapist simply devoted to your wellness and growth.
