Philosophy & Approach

Unshackled Counseling believes that mental health consistently coincides with one's success at living life as openly and authentically as possible. Counseling helps us to more clearly identify what may be hindering us from moving toward that end.

The counseling relationship begins with authenticity, acceptance, and positive regard. We will meet you where you are and support you as you move toward your desired goals.

As you better understand your life and relationship experiences, you will see how these experiences have contributed to your current way of thinking and feeling, and perhaps even to the difficulties that you bring to
counseling today.

We will continually seek new ways to embrace this precious paradox that we call life. From our obvious dependence on God, for the very breath we breathe; to the radical freedom we have in the power of choice. Our constant goal is to live this life as honestly, openly, and deeply as possible.
