Welcome
to Mystic Counseling Services, located in the historical Stonington Borough in Southeastern Connecticut.
In the early eighties, I began Mystic Counseling Services as an alternative to the clinic approach of counseling where one takes a number and waits. My approach to therapy is to focus on the power of choice and the development of options in meeting the challenges of life. It is in the act of choice, where we find meaning, freedom, and ultimately solutions to our difficulties. Counseling is offered in relaxed non-clinic environment where individuals, couples, or families are free to explore their needs and wants. Therapy is not about “what the answer is” but rather, how one understands the meaning of the problem and how a creative solution can be crafted. This process differs greatly from the sharp problem solving structure of either engineering or chemistry.
Therapy is a unique experience in a process more akin to improvisational jazz with its rhythms and key changes. Jazz, like counseling is a conversation between the left and the right, between the head and the heart. Mood forms rhythm, which opens to an improvised conversation. In this intimate space: themes, riffs and grooves are discovered, understood, and transformed. Rhythm within space moves back and forth, flowing freely between past, present and future. In those precious spaces, the ones between the musical notes, between the word and it’s feeling contain possibility.
Whether one has experienced the loss of a loved one, the loss of a marriage or others pains, counseling offers the promise of finding meaning and hope in one’s life. Counseling is about untangling your past, empowering your present and redefining your future.
Opportunities to live deeper life fills one’s life from horizon to horizon, how far one proceeds is limited only by the range of one’s vision. In the end, counseling is an opportunity to grow, to experience, and to become more. It can be a time to heal, a time to wake up, a time to take one’s life seriously, a time to move forward.
