Lakes Area Mediation, 450 W Main St, Perham, MN 56573, US

We have a new Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Tracey Werner-Wilson, MSW. She has immediate openings for counseling. We believe that much of the pain and difficulty we experience in our lives and our relationships began in the past and stays active through the stories we tell ourselves and our habits. Our present day behavior and choices are influenced by the unspoken rules we learned in our family; unresolved grief; feelings of shame and inadequacy; and negative self-talk. Habits we learned, teaching that was not helpful, and needs that were not met often drive our present behavior. Thoughts, feelings and behaviors all can be changed through mindful awareness and compassionate choices. Our approach to recovery and wellness is based on the belief that ineffective, shame motivated, or destructive behavior patterns can be changed through a gradual, compassionate relearning process that combines education, awareness, insight and choice-making. As our identity and self esteem are restored, our choices become healthier, our self-compassion increases, and the quality of our lives and relationships improves. Change is possible!
