Inspired by Milton Erickson's metaphor of guiding the horse gently, I see my ideal client's issues as disconnection and uncertainty. They need support for growth and self-awareness, aiming to access inner resources. Their goal: embrace change and self-discovery for personal empowerment and fulfillment.
I specialize in ACT therapy and hypnosis, offering a unique approach to help you navigate life's challenges. Rather than focusing on what's wrong, I empower you to explore your experiences and foster meaningful change. My goal is to help you read between the lines of your life, facilitating growth and depathologizing where possible!
Are you ready to rewrite your story? My aim is to help you navigate life's twists and turns with clarity and compassion. It's time to reclaim your self. Reach out today, and let's embark on this transformative journey together.
Take the first step to help. Call or Ricc Terranova now - (515) 966-8905
