Stay Balanced
Catholic therapy views life in its totality. This Integrated view of life proposes four main areas in the life of all human beings, Physical, Financial, Psychological, and Spiritual. Research has shown that each of these four areas is interconnected, with one affecting the others. A healthy, flourishing life requires understanding and developing all four. Suffering, pain, and loss are a part of every human life, and like a chair, if you have four strong legs, you can stay balanced using the other three when one gets weak. If you only have three when one gets weak, you are more likely to fall as you can not balance on just two.
We all experience minor setbacks and major ones. Sometimes self-inflicted and other times beyond our control. Developing stability in each area of life helps you stay balanced when one is strained or under attack. Therapy, counseling, and or coaching are not about someone else solving your problems. While most people understandably want to handle personal issues independently, there comes a time when we need some outside perspective to help. In the end, our Calabasas counseling services help you discover your own resources to put the pieces together and start living the life you were meant to live.
With Catholic Therapy You Do Not Have To Leave Your Faith At The Door
Human beings exist in an integral unity of body and spirit. Some therapeutic approaches ignore the person's spiritual domain altogether. In contrast, others ignore the psychological completely, going to the opposite extreme, believing all of our troubles are spiritual.
The Integrated Life is unique in that it embraces both psychological and spiritual dimensions of the human person. This harmonious conception of a balanced life recognizes that the primary condition for change in therapy is the relationship between the client, who decides to change, and the therapist, who therapeutically aids the client make that change through competent care and treatment.
People of all faith traditions find Catholic therapy refreshing. It opens doors to new ways of thinking and looks at life more holistically than many other forms of traditional treatment.

Why Catholic Counseling Services Calabasas, CA
A Catholic-Christian approach to counseling acknowledges growing research on spirituality's role as a powerful resource for the healing process. This view demands respect and dignity of each person who enters the clinic, including respecting the client's personal religious beliefs without the therapist or counselor imposing their own.
In line with Christian anthropology, The Integrated Life recognizes that man is simultaneously individual and social and that all life is sacred. Each person is worthy of respect, and that the dignity of the human person is the foundation of society.
Most importantly, it recognizes that human beings have the capacity to change. The Catholic worldview which is based on natural law that goes back to the ancients, proposes that man is instilled with a sense of rationality and reason, which gives him the ability to choose. In particular, the virtue (habitual disposition) of temperance (self-control) recognizes that with effort, people can change their behavior.
