Our Psychotherapy Direction

At Leclair Behavioral Health, we support you to:

Transform emotional distress: When you struggle with feelings such as anger, guilt, shame, fear, anxiety and depression you may think these emotions will never go away.  Emotions are one way we all express unmet needs like the need for respect, acceptance, joy, support, understanding, closeness and love.  When these needs are identified and acknowledged, you are able to begin resolving your distress by determining ways to fulfill your personal needs.  

Free yourself from internal conflicts like negative thinking and self-criticism: When your mind is involved in negative thinking and critical self-judgment, your ability to live a vital and valued life is restricted. Learn how to create distance between these thoughts and yourself so they no longer hold power over you and limit your possibilities. 

Liberate yourself from the constraints of chronic pain, illness  and stress: The latest research on managing chronic pain and stress shows us that emotions, personal beliefs, attitude, and coping abilities influence our experiences with chronic pain and stress. Our counseling focus helps you develop a personalized approach to managing your chronic pain and reducing stress. 

Clarify and commit to what you care about: Personal values provide you with a sense of direction and guide your choices in life.  When you become clear about what you value in your life, you are better able to commit to choices that enliven and enrich your life. 

Create and live a life you value: Once you commit to action, you are ready to explore and embrace new skills and behaviors that support your efforts to live a vital and valued life.
