Coping skills and setting boundaries is great for most therapist but are of no interest to us. That is doing a great disservice to your spirit and who you are. Don't learn to manage symptoms when you can get rid of them for good. Who wants to cope with depression and anxiety when it can be dissolved?
This band-aid therapy approach most counselors use is what I refer to as "Sleep State Therapy". Telling a client to count to 10 when angry or to "agree to disagree" with your partner does nothing at all. You want to dissolve depression, anxiety, codependency, addiction, anger, fear, etc. We will get to the root of the problem. You will gain the awareness you need to see your blind spots. There will no longer be a use for the behavior to continue.

Divorce Counseling seeks to help aid in bridging the communication and bring awareness to the couple. Relationships are hard at times. We get lost in the argument and forget what the topic or issue is. Couples must be both willing to work on themselves individually as well as together. You can bring the flow, ease and love back to the relationship or marriage. Maybe you both agree to go your separate ways. Let's work as a team to help make it peaceful and kind. Bring this awareness to your marriage and make a conscious decision which way to go. No matter what you and your partner decide, it can be done in an amicable and healthy way.
Families grow and change over time. It is not uncommon for a family to get “stuck”. They feel as if they are caught in the same destructive patterns day in and day out. Our work with family counseling includes looking at the family as a whole and observing the dynamics involved. It’s important that we see all of the members of the family interacting in order to gain a full understanding of their communication and shifts of power. At High Expectations Counseling we work to identify the family’s strengths and develop a strategy that uses those strengths to help resolve their problems. We can provide the family the insight and understanding which will allow them to regain order and balance.
Relationships and marriages are challenging at times. Communication and listening becomes heavy and we need help navigating through the difficult challenges. We often find each other blaming and accusing one another. It turns into the "Right and Wrong" game quickly. Hurtful remarks are made and it feels as if your partner has become a stranger. Anger and resentment lead to hurtful remarks. Learn how to get past personalizing what others think and see life and your relationship accurately without the expectations and assumptions you were conditioned so strongly to believe.
Premarital Counseling is also a service that is a huge success when working to fully understand your partner and the dynamics of the relationship as well as yourself before entering into marriage.

Today’s adolescents are growing up at such a young age. The messages they receive from the media and society are constant and confusing. Very rarely is a teen willing or happy to attend therapy. They do not have the skill set to verbalize the multitude of emotions they feel. We excel at gaining the adolescent’s respect and trust in order to help them feel safe in opening up. Getting a teen to see their true value and worth is vital in helping them learn to operate in today’s world. Creating a sense of who they are. Increased self awareness and self esteem is key. We work with teens to help build a bridge when it comes to communicating their needs. Talk therapy is not always effective when working with teens. We integrate art therapy as a vital tool for reaching our youth.
Child Counseling Orlando involves the therapist in a more delicate dance and needs to be handled gently. Children communicate in a much different way than teens. Much of our work with children is conducted through art and play therapy. Understanding how to effectively parent, utilize positive reinforcement and address conduct disorders are all a part of working with children and helping them to develop a set of tools that will set them up for success. With the overdiagnosis of ADHD in children today, the lines are becoming blurred as to what the underlying factors may be. Child counseling Orlando helps to eliminate any behavioral problems by assisting the family in gaining the knowledge and skill set to help their child. Let your child be a kid and regain balance once and for all.
Alcohol and drugs as well as behavioral addictions (shopping, pornography, sex, gambling, etc) are used as a coping mechanism. They mask fear and pain. Many clients coping with substance and behavioral abuse issues are unwilling or do not have the skill set to understand the driving factors for their ongoing use. Our team will work with you to get to the core issues of why you feel the need to “numb out” and avoid your feelings. Real change occurs when we stop seeking outside of self to fill what we perceive is lacking on the inside. You will be equipped with the knowledge and awareness you need to eliminate stress, cravings, triggers, depression, anxiety, trauma, etc. You will no longer feel the need to turn to drugs, alcohol or other destructive behaviors.
As we grow and expand our awareness and consciousness, we have a desire to seek out a spiritual relationship with ourselves. One that is in connection to source and alignment with our true self. A connection with God or your higher power. When we tap into the source within us and no longer seek to attach to earthly things, we see that our pain and suffering no longer exist. Spiritual guidance along with mental health counseling is a spiritual journey. Not only for you to connect back to yourself but to the true spiritual nature of who you are and who you have always been. Gain the self awareness of how you create heaven or hell here on earth. You are a powerful manifestor of your reality. Our team understands the need to go deeper to the real source of who you are and the unfolding of your truth and infinite being.

We think others don’t understand what we are going through. Plugging into a group gives you the experience of gaining not only support from others but creates a community of common and shared awarenesses that private therapy does not bring.

It is a true blessing and honor to meet our clients along this journey of theirs. We have a love and respect for the brave clients that choose to do this work and are honored to be of assistance. Thank you to all for touching and changing our lives.
We do not treat symptoms. Getting to the core fear underneath the symptoms, (Depression, anxiety, addiction, anger, etc) is key. These are indicators of a deeper level of ourselves. A level that most are unaware even exist. This level is the true self. The mind cannot identify or define you anymore.
It is our desire that clients see us as a team working together. Taking an honest, non judgmental approach. Learning to be easy and not hard on yourself. Being honest enough to allow your ego to step aside. There is the ability to correct the thinking and internal dialogue that has conditioned us since birth. It is a true path and return to the actualization of the true self. The purest form of therapy and self discovery there is.
