Counseling Sessions

Lynne’s Work

I offer my pro­fes­sional ser­vices in a vari­ety of ways — through a diver­sity of work­shops and inten­sives at FOREST HAVEN, in one-on-one, cou­ple and pri­vate victim-free ses­sions at ANOTHER WAY and by phone for those who live far away. I offer guid­ance in any num­ber of areas, includ­ing the following:

  • Uncov­er­ing & releas­ing vic­tim pat­terns with self & in relationship
  • Com­mu­ni­ca­tion issues & prob­lem solving
  • Deal­ing with child­hood trauma & fam­ily dysfunction
  • Under­stand­ing & trans­form­ing neg­a­tive core beliefs
  • Han­dling dif­fi­cult life tran­si­tions (loss, divorce, job or geo­graphic relo­ca­tion etc)
  • Trans­form­ing addic­tions (alcohol/drugs/food/relationship, etc.)

I also have a base­line under­stand­ing of East­ern and West­ern Eso­teric thought, and offer guid­ance and train­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties in the fol­low­ing areas as well:

  • Guided Imagery and Jour­ney Work
  • Dreams: Under­stand­ing Sym­bol as the Lan­guage of the Psyche
  • Med­i­ta­tion Techniques
  • Improv­ing Health and Lifestyle (an inte­grated approach to deal­ing with life stress)
  • Explor­ing Spirituality
  • Body Dis­ci­plines such as yoga, and qigong

Indi­vid­ual Men­tor­ing: (One-on-one or by phone**)

A men­tor­ing part­ner­ship is a col­lab­o­ra­tion between you and I, designed to sup­port you in sort­ing through and clar­i­fy­ing spe­cific life issues and gain new direc­tion. Since there is rarely a sin­gle right or wrong way to achieve life goals, our time together is spent get­ting to the heart of the mat­ter by explor­ing under­ly­ing motives and then com­ing up with cre­ative options towards res­o­lu­tion. I am not the expert on you, YOU are the ulti­mate author­ity on your life and process. My goal is to sup­port you toward build­ing the con­fi­dence you need to begin to rec­og­nize and trust your own inner knowing.

I bring to the ses­sion a wide range of tools for self-discovery, a highly skilled intu­itive sense plus a clear com­mit­ment to main­tain non-judgmental objec­tiv­ity so that together we can explore new options for expand­ing your per­sonal aware­ness and mov­ing you out of vic­tim con­scious­ness. Together we will explore the road­blocks that stand between you and your life goals, and dis­cover ways to dis­solve them.

I do not pro­vide psy­chi­atric diag­no­sis, treat­ment or Rx ther­apy of any kind. I am a life coach and spir­i­tual men­tor, here to pro­vide sup­port to you through hon­est feed­back and to encour­age you to align with Real­ity and to find peace with who you are and where you are now, all lead­ing to evolv­ing greater under­stand­ing and self-acceptance.

GROUP PROCESS

I have been run­ning var­i­ous types of per­sonal growth groups for twenty-five years. As a result I have devel­oped a pro­found belief in the heal­ing power of group dynam­ics. I have found group to be a pri­mary trans­for­ma­tional agent in the process of grow­ing con­scious­ness and change. It facil­i­tates and accel­er­ates inter­per­sonal growth like no other medium I‘ve encoun­tered in my many years of work. Whether in a work­shop set­ting of many or a small ongo­ing weekly for­mat, group is a pow­er­ful way to expand one’s vision of self and the world around us.

Expe­ri­en­tial Sup­port Groups

I offer var­i­ous types of group for those who want to explore and deal with their neg­a­tive core beliefs and child­hood set-ups. This for­mat is for those deal­ing with issues such as overeat­ing, chem­i­cal depen­dency and other addic­tions, as well as rela­tion­ship and fam­ily dys­func­tion of all kinds. Rather than see­ing life choices as “right” or “wrong,” I encour­age each indi­vid­ual to see their dilem­mas as part of a life process. Indi­vid­u­als are encour­aged to take com­plete per­sonal respon­si­bil­ity for their behav­iors and choices and led to explore options and pos­si­ble consequences.

Facil­i­ta­tor Train­ing Group

I also offer group to those who want to train in the REALign­ment Process. If this work speaks to you as an approach you would like to learn how to facil­i­tate with oth­ers, this is for you. My men­tor­ing group for pro­fes­sion­als is designed for those who have done the pre­lim­i­nary fam­ily of ori­gin work and now long to deepen their con­scious under­stand­ing of under­ly­ing spir­i­tual and philo­soph­i­cal prin­ci­ples which serve to fur­ther accel­er­ate per­sonal con­scious­ness for the pur­pose of shar­ing them with oth­ers. This is def­i­nitely a ther­a­peu­tic expe­ri­ence since our suc­cess as facil­i­ta­tors comes, first and fore­most, from our own per­sonal suc­cess with inte­grat­ing this process into our own lives. How­ever, there is also a lot of empha­sis placed on learn­ing to be a skilled facil­i­ta­tor of the REALign­ment Process.
