At Shurmatz Counseling, we hold space for the totality of the person and their experiences, for all aspects of your experience. One on one. There is no substitute for having a trained expert to talk to — one who will listen objectively and help you navigate whatever challenges you are facing in your personal, family, or professional life. Our highly trained clinicians will guide you and give you invaluable insights into who you are, why you are repeating certain patterns, and how to move forward with your best interests in mind. This means we take an integrative approach to healing. We aim to bring consciousness to every part of you. We do not view a person in pain as someone who is broken that needs fixing. You are not just a diagnosis and a prescription. Rather, the symptoms that brought you here, like depression and anxiety, we see as signals that something in your psyche needs tending to and cared for. Old and unconscious ways of coping are no longer working for you and may in fact be causing pain. Instead of disowning what is hurting inside, or attacking yourself for how you feel, together, we will compassionately turn toward it to find out what it needs. This kind of exploration and internal integration brings about lasting relief, improved relationships, and whole-person well-being.
