We Come together
at the center
Concentric circles all share the same center, such as tree rings and rippling water droplets. As children, teens, and adults we stand in the innermost circle of a concentric circle, yet, we do not exist completely in isolation. Throughout our life, we co-exist in other relationships and influential systems represented by the outer concentric circles. Some of these significant relationships and systems include our upbringing and home life, partners and spouse, families, friends and peers, school, work, our community at large, and other systemic and cultural frameworks. Concentric Counselors and therapy can help you to understand yourself better within the context of your relationships and systems.
Looking at ourselves and our relationships through the lens of concentric circles, we also recognize at the center or core, people of all ages share similar experiences, feelings, and thoughts. At some point, we can all relate to feeling down, sad, anxious, stuck, frustrated, or lonely. We all want to be understood, connected, valued, and loved.
What about the universal desires of wanting to feel more centered, self-accepting, and at ease with ourselves and others?
We know there are universal desires that are felt and desired by all people, and yet, we also recognize that people have certain experiences that make you unique and set you apart from others. At Concentric, we aim and strive to understand you, your personal experiences, and the internal and external barriers that are getting in the way of you feeling your best or healthier by tailoring our work with each individual, couple, and family. We are here to help you and your loved ones feel better.
Are you or your family facing obstacles to feeling healthier and connected?
If so, our passionate counselors and therapists offer an array of mental health services and therapeutic approaches to help you and the people that are significant in your life to uncover and work through those barriers. We will help you to identify helpful ways of coping, managing, and existing so you can become more centered, feel better, grow and evolve, and experience healthier and more fulfilling relationships.
