At Birch Counseling, our mission is to support our clients' growth and development. We recognize that life can be challenging, and everyone may experience obstacles at some point. That's why we offer a safe and empathetic environment where you can confidentially discuss and explore your concerns. Our goal at Birch Counseling is to fully understand the issues you bring to us. We listen without judgment and help you explore your problems from various angles. We assist you in developing the skills you need to overcome your obstacles, enabling you to see things differently and reach your goals. At Birch Counseling, we approach therapy using a metaphor from nature. Birch trees' bark peels in thin layers, adapting to their rapid growth. By shedding the bark, pathogens fall away, protecting the tree. We, too, develop a protective "bark" around our vulnerable core, which we periodically need to shed to promote health and growth. However, many of us resist this process because it leaves us feeling vulnerable in a harsh world. We try to patch up our protective layers instead of allowing them to peel away naturally. At Birch Counseling, we help you shift perspectives and see new possibilities. As we work together, we assist you in peeling off the layers you no longer need for protection, which may make you feel lighter and more alive. Through the cracks that once scared you, you can learn to breathe again.
