The benefits of counseling can be as diverse as the people who come to counseling. They can be: improved relationships, improved functioning in valued roles, improved marriage, improved family functioning, improved parenting, improved adolescent behavior, reduced symptoms of depression, effects of trauma, anxiety and stress, improved self-esteem and self-worth, improved confidence and improved strategies to achieve goals. "We help clients define how they want their lives to be different and identify the steps that will help them reach their goals."
We at Roger Fenn and Associates, LLC are both committed realists and optimists. As optimists we believe that each of us have the capacity to be our own personal best. We believe no matter what the life stage, whatever the problem or adversity or desired goal, you have the capacity within yourself to improve your quality of life and have the happiness you desire. We believe within the process of changing self-defeating beliefs and behaviors lies the strenght and insight to fully engage in life and become our own personal best. In accepting our own strengths and weaknesses, we can learn to accept and appreciate ourselves and others. As realists we do not believe happiness and an improved quality of life will happen overnight. Change usually requires some level of new insight and awareness that then needs to be applied to changing self-defeating and limiting patterns of thinking and behaving. This often requires hard and difficult work.
"What Roger Fenn brings uniquely to the client-therapist encounter, where these benefits originate are his particular gifts in the spiritual aspects of this core relationship. Through his adept relatedness, the benefits of counseling expand to enhance one's living in the world at large through self-awareness, self-knowledge, and the strenght to live fully."
