Hey everyone,
Hope you\’re doing very well this week! I figured it was about time for us to put out another blog post for you and this one is to help you understand us a little bit better. So much of the counseling process is based on the relationship that you have with your therapist and the more information we can give you, the better idea you\’ll have about whether or not we\’re a good fit.
Our tagline — or slogan — that we\’ve been using here at Riverpath is \”Find Your Path, We\’ve Got The Map\”. We were looking for a great, quick tagline to let people know a little bit more about our stance on counseling. The bulk of the counseling process for most people is about change; getting over something difficult, figuring out where you\’d like to be in your life, getting from here to there. From our namesake you already know that we think life is winding like a river\’s path but we also want you to know that we think of it like a journey.
We don\’t see any of the problems you\’re encountering now as a fixed way of life. We see it as just another piece of your story, of your journey, to get to a better life. We know that most people are trying day in and day out to make things a little bit easier, a little less difficult and a little less stressful. Sometimes that can feel like you\’re wandering out in the woods — you know that there\’s a way out but can\’t see it with the tools you have right now. That\’s where we come in.
We are the people who have a map for you to find your way out of the woods. Now, we don\’t have the perfect map for you until you help us get to know you a little bit better. But even from the start we have tools, techniques, tips and various other things to help you on a more ideal journey.
We believe that counseling is a process to help you find your destination and refine your map to getting to that destination. Only you know where you\’d like to be and how you might like to get there. With our help, though, you\’ll get there much quicker and with some support on what can be a very lonely road.
Find Your Path is a slogan that we believe also is empowering to you. Never at any point do we want to take your power away from you in making decisions; we want you to always feel like you have your independence and that\’s something that we foster here. We want YOU to find your path — with our help. There\’s no one-size-fits-all fix for what you\’re dealing with. Everything requires knowing your story and that\’s where you meet us.
If you\’re feeling lost in the woods, or maybe like you\’re drowning with everything going on, let us help you identify the map that\’s going to get you to a full and meaningful life. After all, you\’re not broken there\’s just something in your way at the moment.
