it’s okay to get support when life gets hard

Life is hard in itself. People are working more hours than previous generations while trying to cover rising housing costs, higher utilities, car payments, gas, groceries, health insurance premiums, student loans, and credit card debt.

Then there are outside commitments from work that seem to swallow people whole. There are constant appointments, house chores, relationship commitments, family obligations, and so much more that finding time just for you to unwind and relax feels almost impossible.

Society is escalating at an insane, never before seen pace. We naturally feel like we need to be on the move, and constantly in action. But is that really the natural way of doing things?

Life is a challenge when you lack safe and supportive relationships. It's easy to isolate and feel like you have to figure everything out on your own. You are hesitant to burden the people around you, so instead you suffer in silence.

Consequently, you learn to manage your suffering by avoiding, stuffing, and denying that your feelings even exist. With time, the emotional pain just gets worse. Your health suffers, you have trouble sleeping, you feel like you are losing control, and the life you want feels like it is just outside your reach some days.

**Are you struggling with important questions like:**

~Why am I so **stressed and unhappy** with a career I am supposed appreciate?
~Why am I having **trouble experiencing joy** and satisfaction like I once did?
~Why do I feel **more tired and lack any motivation** to improve my life?
~What is causing **strain in my personal relationships**?
~Why am I so **disgruntled** with people and society in general?
~What is my **greater purpose** in life and how do I achieve it?

Life by Design Therapy™ is dedicated and committed to helping you connect to your deepest desires, provide resources and tools for improvement, and build a new foundation for growth and transformation. We offer culturally competent psychotherapy and counseling because we know that our history, our culture, and our unique life experiences shape us.

change is possible with therapy

Simply saying the word can sometimes make you feel anxious and nervous. You like your routines and the thought of making radical, drastic changes to your life sounds so uncomfortable that instead you retreat to what is familiar.

But what is familiar in your life? Is it anxiety and fear? Do you feel stressed and worried all of the time? Do you feel uncertain and troubled about your future? Are you dealing with unresolved grief or lingering sadness?

While these feelings are common, you do not have to accept them as your only reality. Your life is intended for so much more!

Though pain and troubling feelings are a part of the human existence, they do not need to define you.

Free yourself from the hurdles that have blocked you in the past.

holistic therapy provides Well-Rounded Healing

Change - Growth - Transformation. These are the three steps to free yourself from the limitations that have you stuck in the past.

The core principles of holistic based psychotherapy include:

**Healing of the Mind**

When our mind is at ease we obviously have more inner peace. The problem with all of us is finding a way to silence our mind and ward off all that negative thinking including anxiety, fear, worry, and self-doubt.

**Healing of the Body**

The mind cannot get properly healed without help from the body. The two work interchangeably yet are also distinctly different. So many types of counseling only focus on the mind. Meanwhile, the body also plays a very critical role. When we are connected to our bodies we are able to start living a life we want!

**Healing of Relationships**

For better or worse we want to surround ourselves with people in order to experience love, joy, excitement, wonder, and shared connections. But what happens when those we love have also hurt us so badly in the past? Healing our negative past relationships by exploring the good, bad, and ugly are a necessary part of overcoming uncomfortable emotions and can lead to growth and healing.

**Cultural Healing**

There is more going on in our lives than just our own being. We are part of a larger culture, a larger society. When we learn to heal at a cultural level we also learn how we can impact future generations for the better.

**Spiritual Healing**

: It extends beyond the confines of organized religion. Whether you believe in standard traditions, or have your own personal viewpoints is besides the point. We are open-minded and cannot refuse the special connection our spiritual lives have to our mental welfare. Trust, especially in the unknown, is a major factor of our spiritual healing.

How Life by Design Therapy™ Can Support You

Our caring and experienced team has witnessed too many individuals push through life simply trying to survive. We find that often people in general are ruled by fear, anxiety, worry, shame, guilt, regret, disappointment, and failure which falsely tells them they are incapable of achieving peace and serenity, and that they can’t live the life they truly want.

From our perspective, people are generally guided or influenced by something and very few actually have total, or close to full control of their lives. They are too often dictated by fears and failures from the past, and cling onto them when it is time to finally let go.

“Embodied self-awareness is the ability to pay attention to ourselves, to feel our sensations, emotions, and movements online, in the present moment, without the mediating influence of judgmental thoughts.”

— Allen Fogel

Experience Real Change with holistic therapy Today

Groundbreaking, recent studies demonstrate that holistic therapy is making a difference where other types of therapy have not been quite as successful in the past.

Unfortunately, too many people that suffer try one type of individual therapy and never go back because they do not see an immediate change. Others, fearful of a medical setting, may feel unable to relate or have an open and honest conversation.

We get it, because we have been there too. We believe that therapy is a relationship, a very personal one, so we welcome every individual we see like family.

At Life by Design Therapy™ we believe wellness happens when the union of the mind, body, and spirit becomes inseparable in a way that is honoring and respectful. As a result, we utilize body-based techniques and mindfulness to support healing and growth.

Our therapy supports the human in us that is longing for fulfillment, excitement, acceptance, connection, and a deeper understanding.
