Are anger or out-of-control anxiety/depression negatively impacting how you live? Get out of your mind and into your life; live in harmony with your feelings and not a prisoner to them. Ethos Counseling combines cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with mindfulness, teaching you to be fully present in the moment rather than living life stuck in your head. Mindfulness teaches you to live in the now; CBT, an evidence-based approach, teaches that thoughts influence feelings which influence behavior. To change our behavior, we must first change our thoughts. CBT effectively treats anxiety disorders and depression. Contact us now for help!

In order for the counseling process to be effective, each participant must trust the therapeutic experience and more importantly, the relationship that is developing between the counselor and the client.

Existential therapists help clients find meaning in their lives by focusing on free will, self-determination, and responsibility.
