I Am a Counselor, Speaker, Educator
and Coach Who Does It Differently!
My sole proprietorship, LKP Counseling & Consulting Services, promotes potential and promise instead of symptoms and sickness. I've learned how to use adversity to my advantage. Success and happiness can be taught, and I can teach you! Remember, what is right with you is always more powerful than what's wrong with you, if you choose to believe it.
I promote total health, wellness and positive performance through the utilization of diverse strategies focused on capacity building, alignment and congruence. I have worked with individuals, small groups and organizations.
Regarding my training and expertise, I am a professional counselor and not a psychotherapist.
The 'therapist' terminology is general among the helping professions and I personally choose NOT to label, diagnose or 'treat' my clients. The therapist label also creates (for many who've been to one) an unfair, imbalanced power dynamic - therapist as expert, client as amateur.
For personal and ethical reasons, I do not accept health insurance. In order to receive medical insurance reimbursement, I would need to diagnose you with a mental or emotional disorder.
The American Counseling Association's Governing Council (Oct.1997) defined Professional Counseling as the "application of mental health, psychological, or human development principles, through cognitive, affective, behavioral or systematic intervention strategies, that address wellness, personal growth, or career development, as well as pathology".
