  PhilosophyCenter | PHILO Counseling℠PHILO Counseling
uses the Socratic method of examining beliefs and assumptions to help clients identify and clear contradictions, correct false beliefs and assumptions, and start enjoying improvements in wellness, work, energy, mood, peace of mind, relationships, and quality of life. Many of the problems that life serves up draw their power from some aspect of our beliefs about them. In fact, sorting out our experiences in the world from the assumptions, beliefs, conclusions, and expectations we carry, wittingly or unwittingly, requires the special skills that philosophical counseling brings to the table. Often the only thing we can change in a situation is ourselves—but when we change ourselves, remarkably, our world changes. This is why the ancients placed consummate value on the maxim, "know thyself." They knew that self-knowledge is the key to happiness and "human flourishing."

PhilosophyCenter | Stories of Transformation   "Once again, your insightful ability to disentangle contradictions as well as unwanted, disruptive, and invalid assumptions is beyond amazing! I knew going in that there was something all twisted up and for the life of me, I couldn't find it. But with your help I was able to see it and with that, the jig was up. What a relief!" 

"Thank you for today’s call. In the session I was feeling joy and relief.  As soon as we hung up, I felt that a great weight had been lifted off my shoulders."

"This is the best transformational work I’ve ever done."

"Uniquely impactful. Far more effective than traditional therapy sessions."

"An awesome resource—so much shifted, and in such a short time!"

"Life-changing."
