LAFAYETTE MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING SERVICES

If you're feeling lost, overwhelmed, and confused about how to find your way forward, I understand . You may not know what needs to happen, but you know something's got to give. This is a scary and lonely place to be. Counseling can help you sort through whatever is causing problems in your life and get you back on track. Whether it's feelings of low self-esteem, a troubled relationship, communication issues, or other mental health challenges, I can help.

Modern daily life can take a toll on all of us. Unfortunately, some people decide to keep surviving on their own, unhappy and unfulfilled. There is a better way. At Tree of Life Counseling, you too can get some guidance and support as you begin to sort through the obstacles in your way. Beka's relaxed and accepting demeanor will set your mind at ease as you begin to break down the barriers to your happiness and build a path towards happiness and joy.

COUPLES THERAPY

Couples work can be complicated. Beka will help to establish a safe environment where both partners can be heard and express themselves more freely. Couples therapy may focus on things like helping couples identify unmet needs and expectations, working on more effective communication, and reconnecting to their shared goals and dreams.

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

Through one-on-one counseling sessions, clients will establish a secure space to share their thoughts and feelings, explore and uncover barriers to their goals, and develop new coping skills. Individuals often learn about themselves and gain clarity on their wants and needs, leading them to taking action steps towards their desired outcomes.

GROUP THERAPY

Group work consists of a small group of people coming together with shared issues or concerns. Through the group process, individuals will practice sharing more openly and honestly, building a support network of their peers, and identifying and practicing new coping skills. Beka facilitates groups focusing on a variety of issues and for different subsets of clients throughout the year.

A LETTER FROM BEKA

I see you...

You wonderfully “normal” people who may be feeling not so normal in the quiet of your mind, late at night, when you lay your head on the pillow, wondering yet again “How did I get here? Is this really my life?"

I know that place is scary, maybe even so scary you're afraid to admit you're there, afraid to say it out loud.

You might be thinking:

What if things change? What if they don't?

Admitting it to someone else makes it real.

Asking for help makes me feel crazy and defected.

Trusting someone else is a risk, one I'm not sure I'm willing to take.

What will other people think?

What if it's too hard? What if I can't do it?

If any of that sounds familiar, I want you to know that you are perfectly NORMAL and that most of us find ourselves there at some point or another.

We get trapped on this merry-go-round in our heads and sometimes it can be impossible to get off without some outside help. There is nothing wrong with that! It simply means that it's time to acknowledge that what you're doing isn't working anymore.

It's time for something new.

If I can promise you anything, it's this... you don't have to do it alone. I know it's tempting and it often feels much safer that way. But the reality is we're not built to do life alone, and the longer you resist, the harder it is to receive help.

I see your suffering. I know it well. And I want you to know, it doesn't have to be that way. There is hope and joy and beauty in this world. Most of us just need help getting out of our own way in order to find it again.

I see you. I’ve been you. I want to help you. Let’s talk.
