Personal Growth Counseling in Austin, TX

Counseling for growth

Change is inevitable and life and it helps to consciously focus on your path of growth and development. Without focusing on how you want to change, things will stay as they are or potentially worsen. For some people, that’s a good thing; they’re happy and fulfilled in their lives. But for many people, the current path they are on lacks meaning and satisfaction and they feel stuck. They want to change, but can’t seem to figure out how to change. This is where solution-focused therapy, positive psychology, and goal focused therapy come in to play as we help you achieve the change your desire.

Counseling for balance

Creating work and life balance is tricky for many men and women in our modern world. We are constantly tethered to work via emails and phones, even when we are at home. We can help you audit your priorities, create a new plan, and provide you with tools to have better coping techniques and balance in life. Work with our personal growth coaches to help create the change and balance you desire.

Counseling for stress

Stress is the body’s reaction to any change that requires an adjustment or response. The body reacts to these changes with physical, mental, and emotional responses. Stress is a normal part of life. You can experience stress from your environment, your body, and your thoughts. Even positive life changes such as a promotion, a mortgage, or the birth of a child produce stress. However, if you feel that you are constantly stressed and have no relief, it can become a problem.  Just Mind Counseling therapists can provide you with tools and techniques to get stress under control.

Self-esteem is relatively stable and enduring, though it can fluctuate. Healthy self-esteem makes us resilient and hopeful about life.

Anger management is a psycho-therapeutic program for anger prevention and control. It has been described as deploying anger successfully. Anger is frequently a result of frustration, or of feeling blocked or thwarted from something the subject feels is important.
