Restore your inner peace and reduce stress levels through counseling
WHO WE ARE AT BALANCED COUNSELING
You've taken the first step in finding out more about yourself, and creating less stress in your daily life. I am Mary Kay Thill, MA, LCPC, CCSAC, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, motivational speaker, spiritual guide and writer. I have over 30 years experience helping others grow. I have a background in individual and family therapy. My work history includes outpatient treatment, community mental health, residential treatment and a private practice.
WHY DOES A PERSON DECIDE ON COUNSELING?
There are times in life when stress levels seem more than you can bear. You find yourself crying often or getting anger for no good reason. This is when you need to find the courage to ask for help. We all need help at one time or another. Stress is inherent in each of our lives. It is a sign of inner strength to reach out, and make an effort to change
I have helped individuals with a variety of problems including: spiritual crisis, depression, time management, career goals, midlife crisis, low self-esteem, parenting, relationships, communication skills, hypnosis, grief due to death or divorce, loneliness, fears and phobias, anger issues, sexual abuse, substance abuse, menopause or PMS, stress management, energy healing, and others.
MY PHILOSOPHY
My life path lead me to direct others to look inward to understand who they are so happiness can grow. Taking personal responsibility is the first step toward finding inner peace, and balancing your daily life. I have been practicing meditation, energy healing, and yoga since I was 18 years old. I believe all things are alive, that we are all working toward oneness, and share on God or higher power. My daily goal is to fill myself with grace and let it flow our of me as it will. I am dedicated to clearing my negative data, so I can act in kindness and love. The richness of our lives is discovered and developed in our spirit connection. All of us on this journey yearn for peace and happiness. Your desire is a powerful force, and personal happiness is a life long task. Ask yourself what do you really want? There is no pill for instant happiness. It is a divine effort. As a holistic counselor I view human nature in three parts; body, mind, and spirit. With a commitment to change, discipline, and guidance, all three parts can begin the integration process.
We all learn uniquely, and grow at a different pace, so I utilize a variety of theory and techniques I believe will work for each individual.
I am excited you have chosen me to be your counselor and guide to a happier life.
