In this ever-changing time of "do and be more," we face daily life stressors that challenge our mental wellness. These challenges can negatively impact our significant relationships, our children and our work/school performance. To seek the help of a therapist is a very personal decision. It may be one of the most important decisions you make. It may facilitate first steps towards changing and regaining control of your life. In 2008, I founded Aspire Counseling and Consulting (please view our WEBSITE) with the mission to inspire clients to reach their fullest potential within their communities, relationships, workplaces and schools.

My perfect client would be someone who may be struggling with real life issues unique to them.

What sets the identity of my sessions is their structure and strategy. While I believe in having client centered treatment, I've often felt as though the therapist/client relationship requires strategy and tangible advancement that can be noted by the client. What this means is that using psycho education to identify thought or behavior patterns is often used as well as guided conversations to further explore the nature of distressed mental health symptoms. My previous experience includes: Adult counseling with a focus on Anxiety based disorders, Family counseling, Reunification counseling, Drug/Alcohol counseling

Life can become overwhelming, sometimes we forget it is a work in progress. The last few years have been a wild ride! Detours can happen making it easy to forget that the detours may be necessary to help us move forward. I enjoy having the privilege of helping individuals reach their full potential by helping to recognize their strengths through therapeutic intervention, self care, identifying coping strategies and learning to stay in the moment. The work can be difficult but that does not mean there may not be laughter, tears and progress.

Does negative self-talk inhibit you from opportunities that could potentially enrich your life? Whether it be going for a promotion at work or missing out on fulfilling relationships, what we tell ourselves can either hinder or help us. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to engender a sense of empowerment. In a world where matters feel increasingly out of our control, it is helpful to acknowledge what we can control. My Person-Centered approach creates a non-judgmental environment where we can explore difficult topics.

Reaching out for help and support is a sign of strength not weakness. Many things such as addiction, depression, or anxiety can challenge us toward seeking change in our lives. Together we can explore your thinking and work toward a change that will empower and motivate a healthy, balanced life. I truly believe everyone deserves my respect without judgment. As human beings we all have our struggles.

In his practice, Dr. Acosta uses different approaches with the purpose of promoting a therapeutic experience focused on favoring the awareness of the people he serves about their own needs and potentials.

It is a mystery as to why things happen to us. It becomes even more complex as to how we will heal. Sometimes the emotional pain can become too difficult to get through alone and we often seek additional help. Whether you're suffering from a loss of a loved one, a marital conflict, stress, anxiety, or even PTSD, there is still hope. I believe that true healing comes from healthy attachments to self and others, meaningful mind-body connections, and by gaining better control over your thoughts, emotions and physical being.
