REED  COUNSELING

AND  CONSULTING

Here’s what I am supposed to tell you about myself…

I received my Ph.D. in Marriage and Family Therapy from Texas Woman’s University and have maintained a private practice as a counselor, consultant and educator in the Dallas area for more than 20 years. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Texas and hold Clinical membership in the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy.   I am also a member of The Institute of Noetic Studies and The Association for Transpersonal Psychology and serve on the Advisory Boards of CONTACT Crisis Line and Aids Interfaith Network, Inc.

Now here’s what I believe is important for you to know about my philosophy and how I work…

·           You have all you need within yourself. I begin from the position that each of us carries—through our inherited DNA, our life experience, and our energetic intention to create the life we desire—all the resources we need for the journey. And...sometimes we need others to help us discover what we already know, what we already possess.  That’s my job—as your consultant, as the catalyst for your learning. I believe in you, in the possibilities you carry, and I will tend the flame of hope and optimism, even when you are unable to do so.

·          We are partners working together. You are the expert on you. And...I know a lot of things—by virtue of my education, professional training, and my own life experiences—that will be available to assist you on your path. I am always reading, learning, honing my skills as a therapist and refining my practice of the art of therapy. I bring to our collaboration cutting edge theory, a passion for the work, and deep wisdom—a bit of my own and that of others who have been gracious in sharing what they have learned.

·          We are best served by a holistic vision of life. We are, all of us, connected—to the life energy that pulses within each of us, to the wholeness of the human community, and to the planet and universe we inhabit. Body, mind, heart, soul—all is one, a holistic and beautifully wrought creation. That is why my colleague, Judith Cannon, and I created OUR SPACE, a holistic partnership of caring and gifted professionals.
