Welcome To Progressive Counseling & Hypnosis!

It's time to put yourself first and to make yourself a priority. You deserve to live your life with greater happiness and fulfillment. You don't need to struggle anymore.

If you don’t believe in miracles, perhaps you’ve forgotten you are one. – Karen Salmansohn

mir·a·cle/ˈmirək(ə)l/noun

" an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs or an extremely outstanding or an unusual event, thing, or accomplishment."

YOU are a miracle. Despite any doubts you may have, you are undeniably a miracle. Scientists have crunched the numbers countless times, revealing that the chances of your existence are an astonishing 1 in 400 trillion. Every factor had to align perfectly for you to be here in this moment, reading these words. Dr. Ali Binazir illustrates this improbability by likening it to a single turtle sticking its head out of the water within a life preserver floating in an endless ocean on the very first try—a probability so infinitesimal it's practically zero, 1 in 102,685,000 to be exact.

You are not meant to be overwhelmed by sadness, worry, fear, doubts, or other negative emotions. Instead, your journey is supposed to be about finding beauty and joy even amidst life's smallest moments, despite the occasional pain inherent in the human experience. Within each of us lies a radiant light, a unique goodness waiting to be tapped into. By connecting with this inner essence, we can achieve greater balance and tranquility. This journey is about awakening to the fullness of your being, embracing love, and radiating your unique light into the world.

Empowerment is not just about finding your light; it's about letting it shine brightly!

If you’re reading this, you’ve survived until now. Heartbreak. Losses. Betrayals. Trauma. And here you are. You go fierce warrior – you are awesome! – Karen Salmansohn

Here Is How We Can Help

Women navigate unique challenges that significantly impact their mental health. They are twice as likely to be diagnosed with anxiety and depression, often due to a myriad of factors. Hormonal fluctuations, spanning from puberty to menopause, add layers of complexity to their emotional well-being. Moreover, societal dynamics place additional burdens on women, with unequal power dynamics and the often overwhelming juggle of career and household responsibilities. Many women, particularly single parents, face the daunting task of working multiple jobs to sustain their families while also shouldering caregiving responsibilities for children and sick or elderly relatives. These multifaceted challenges heighten the risk of anxiety and depression among women, underscoring the importance of tailored counseling approaches to address their unique needs.

Women commonly bring to counseling issues such as:

Relationership concerns/fears of being alone
Health/Sexual concerns
Fears related to pregnancy and becoming a parent
Parenting Issues
Burnout for caring for others
Identity/Self-Esteem issues
Setting boundaries in relationships/being more assertive
Worrying about approval and fear of confrontatio

If you are currently in an unhealthy relationship, processing a break-up, or are uncertain about your next steps in a relationship, such as whether you should stay or go, I'm here to offer support. Whether you're battling feelings of sadness or anxiety, know that you don't have to endure these struggles alone. I aim to foster insight, uplift mood, and boost self-confidence through approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused therapy. I hope to have the honor of assisting you on your journey towards healing and empowerment.

Online Therapy for Women's Issues

Therapy for women often involves clarifying values and increasing levels of self-care and compassion. During your counseling sessions, women frequently "find their voice" and develop an ability to be more assertive, advocate for themselves, and be more comfortable with their decisions.

Online Therapy For Pregnancy and Motherhood

Counseling for mothers and women during pregnancy often helps them redefine their definition of what it means to be a "good mom." Moms and "moms-to-be" often have unrealistic expectations in terms of their roles, which can lead to high levels of stress and burnout. Counseling can help women get unstuck, feel less guilt, and reduce feelings of "not feeling good enough."

Online Hypnosis Sessions

Hypnosis can help people overcome limiting beliefs and behaviors and positively enhance the way they think, feel, and behave in ways that will positively impact their lives. The process involves deep relaxation and concentration. Some people call hypnosis a “massage of the mind.”
