Services & Specialties


Inner Life Adventures provides individual and group counseling services for a wide variety of personal growth, exploration, mental health, and career topics.

Appointments are offered in our office or outside.

If you have never tried an outdoor counseling session, we urge you to give it a shot.  The benefits of counseling are 
increased greatly by including exercise, movement, and nature within the session.  By taking counseling out into the real world, where you live the other 167 hours a week, we are provided many more opportunities for experiential moments.  If you are interested, here is more information on outdoor - walk and talk counseling.

Specialties

  • Personal growth - when you feel like you are capable of so much more but you just don't know what it is that is holding you back.
  • Self-esteem - feeling like you are just not ______ enough.  Fill in the blank.
  • Relationships - every interaction with another human being involves some level of relationship.  From friends, to neighbors, to lovers, we can study how you are in relationship to others, determine what you want, and how to get it.
  • Couples - improve your partnership by increasing your ability to communicate and understand each other and feel the love in your relationship again.
  • Life Satisfaction/Happiness - Enjoying your life.  People with a problem approach might also call this depression/sadness.  
  • Stress/Anxiety - are a normal part of life, but they can take control and get in the way of enjoying life.
  • Explore how everything in your life is related. "How you do anything is how you do everything."
  • Career - career is much larger than work, and work consumes more than 1/3 of the hours in a week (and the other 1/3 is spent sleeping).  If you are not enjoying your work, there is a good chance it is affecting other parts of your life.  Some possible career topics include:Career Transitions (by choice or by circumstances outside of your control)
  • Career Satisfaction
  • Challenging Work Situations/Work Relationships
  • Work Related Stress
  • Job Search

    What Makes Us Different

    We have a commitment to the saying "insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results."  We have designed our practice in a way that is experiential, present moment, hands on, and client centered - not standard talk therapy.  While we have training in counseling and therapy methods, we firmly believe you are the expert in you - and we aim to empower you to see that.  You are the one that has been living with you every day of your life.  We utilize experiential methods that guide you and help you discover yourself, in a warm, gentle, non-violent way.

    While all the work we do is not therapy and is not Hakomi, everything we do is bounded by the 5 guiding principles of Hakomi: Mindfulness, Non-Violence, Unity, Organicity, and Mind-Body Integration (see our company page).  More about the Hakomi approach to counseling.
