Holistic Counseling Services: Find Peace with Holistic Re-Education & Empowering Services

HRES is foundationally rooted in the Adlerian Approach to Counseling, which is essential for both Life Coaching and Mental Wellness. Adlerian psychotherapy was founded by Alfred Adler, who was an ex-associate of Freud and rejected Freud's notion that sex is the root of all psychological problems. This approach takes a positive view of human nature: we are all goal-oriented creatures striving for social connectedness, and we have control over our destiny. Adler believed that many personal difficulties stem from feelings of inferiority—he even coined the term 'inferiority complex.' In the context of Trauma Counseling, an Adlerian therapist will identify, explore, and challenge a client's current beliefs about their life goals. They will gather family history and use information about a client's behavior patterns to help them set new, socially satisfying, and attainable goals. These goals could relate to any realm of life, including developing parenting or marital skills or overcoming substance abuse. Once these healthier objectives are established, the therapist may also assign homework, set up contracts with the client, and provide suggestions on how the client can achieve their new goals.
