Eric Weinstein It’s Not Therapy (It’s Problem Solving)
Did you know that: • licensed therapists are limited to certain approaches by “standards of care” that leave out a number of highly effective healing modalities? • even if you’re paying out-of-pocket for your sessions, your therapist might be unable to use anything “different” because of insurance company requirements and state regulations? I’m not a therapist, but I always have therapists among my clients. They come to me for: • the most ancient healing modality (shamanic healing) • proven, but less conventional modalities (hypnosis/NLP and Eye Movement Integration [similar to EMDR, but gentler]) • the most exciting new energy modalities (Energy Psychology, such as EFT or “tapping” on meridian points, biofield work, and chakra manipulation) • intriguing coaching modalities (including Motivational Interviewing, True Purpose coaching, and Archetypal coaching) And they come for all the same problems they’ve seen one of their more conventional colleagues for – as well as problems of a spiritual/ energetic nature. So, whether you’re struggling with the newer stresses of the pandemic or with older issues that keep you from being who you want to be, call to find out how I can help. I have a limited number of sliding-scale appointments, and I offer helping and healing professionals appointments at half-price: only $150.
