This is the most important question anyone can ask when choosing a therapist or coach!

Choosing a Therapist is a difficult task - and a critical one - so what's most important when selecting a Therapist? Actually, it's fairly simple - it comes down to just one factor - RESULTS! Does your therapist have a reputation for getting impressive results fast? At ACS we do! We are constantly learning new tools strategies and techniques that make a powerful difference in the lives of our clients. Our whole counseling/coaching philosophy is based on doing what works. We don't use counseling "Theories" - only methods that have proven results! Our techniques are designed so that anyone can use them - and when they apply them - they get results!

I've built my reputation on one thing - and one thing only - helping people get healthier and happier than they ever thought possible! My joy in life is based on making this happen and sharing in my clients successes.

Therapists are taught in school that patients can't be friends - you need to maintain "therapeutic distance"- I don't believe in this! My clients are my friends - I care about everyone who has the courage to overcome their challenges or the ambition to chase their goals! Let's work together and win!

I am also an addiction specialist - this can be a tremendous asset - because many problems have addictive features. Such as, depression, anxiety, phobias, low self-esteem, eating problems, etc. Almost any problem that repeats (has a cycle) may have addictive features and respond better to specialized treatment. It is very helpful to have a therapist who understands and can effectively treat these aspects for better results.

At ACS we work closely with you to make sure that YOUR goals are getting met! We want every client to leave not only having resolved their problem - but feeling great too! We aim to impress clients with their own progress and brightened outlook!

We don't just help clients solve their problems in treatment - we teach them how to solve their problems on their own - for life! We want our clients to become dependent on themselves - not on the therapist! We don't hide the secrets of how we help you with your problems - we teach them to you!

Finally, we offer lots of extras!!! Handouts, videos, readings, therapy tapes and more - to keep the therapy and growth going between sessions. This means even faster results and more support for you!
