Alpha Counseling Services, PLLC is based on the vision of creating “new beginnings” and “leading” change. Most life lessons are learned, from coping skills that we have applied, to problems and challenges we have encountered in the past.  However, at some point, most of us have, or will, be faced with moments that make us feel like we are being bombarded from every angle. Our previous life lessons appear ineffective, and as we instinctively retreat to protect ourselves, we end up feeling as if we have even less power over our situation. Over time, we end up developing the false belief that “life happens” and that we have little choice over the outcome. Ultimately, this can undermine our sense of self and our future well-being. Seeking help is not a sign of weakness but a sign of “leading” yourself towards positive changes and being the force of change. My professional experiences have shown me how breaking the negative cycle of helplessness, can ultimately create the “new beginning”.
