Anton Counseling & Psychology

Welcome to our world—the world of Counseling & CAREER PSYCHOLOGY

“This can be the source of your unhappiness – your lack of connection to who you are and what makes you unique. The first move toward mastery is always inward – learning who you are and reconnecting with that innate force. Knowing it with clarity, you will find your way to the proper career path, and everything else will fall into place. It is never too late to start this process.” – Robert Greene.

Psychological life counseling & performance coaching improves lives

What’s most important to you? An individual supportive session? If so, click on that button below.

If stretching yourself to become the best possible version of yourself is most important to you, select the “Stretch Coaching” button. To access either option, there is a one-time fee. The difference between a “supportive session” and “stretch coaching” is that with Stretch Coaching, your one-time fee gets you either 6, 12, 18, or 24 individual coaching sessions. Plus, one psychological assessment is included with every six sessions you purchase.

Your sessions and assessments have been bundled this way to ensure that you receive adequate coaching, encouragement, and direction to integrate your new skills and understand how to implement them into your personal or professional life. You aren’t left alone to figure out what to do on your own. You receive understanding support and encouragement throughout, assisting you to move from knowledge to action.

Emotionally Perturbed?

“I don’t know about you, but sometimes I feel as though life were about to fall apart. I feel completely and alone and trapped. With no one to turn to for support or advice, I feel overwhelmed by it at the same time. I’m afraid that I’m doomed to a pathetic life. What happens to me if this is true? It might crush me, or even worse, I might suffer alone forever.” – It’s time to check in with your therapist of choice. “A great session in the morning tends to improve feelings ALL day long, ultimately turning into a great life!” – Richard Anton.

Generating the feelings we want is simple enough to do; our perturbed problem often comes from our confusion. “Our sacred life and our career are not linked or connected. Should they be?” Of course, the answer is yours to make, but if you want to feel a certain way at work, then you know the answer, and so you may ask, “how can I do it?”

“Take small risks, get out of your comfort zone, & get more answers.”

Emotional Struggles Get Emotional Compassion

Anton Counseling & Psychology is here for you. No matter what your concerns are, we can assist you to feel more confident and less emotional. ALL problems are dynamic. Click here. Some of the most common or typical concerns many of us have are interpersonal, involve stress, social anxiety, career, and self-esteem. Don’t put off your concerns any longer. They might only get worse.

Stressed Out?

Although experiencing stress is as normal as breathing in oxygen, we all have an ideal stress level that makes us feel and function at our best. Research has demonstrated that having too little stress causes us to feel underwhelmed and unmotivated. But too much pressure makes us feel out of control, and none of us enjoys that, either. Balancing our stress levels so that they work for us is vital. Easier said than done, I know. So knowledgeable support might make sense.

Manage Your Moods

Our emotions function to guide us through life. But allowing our feelings to teach us is NOT the same as dwelling on them and being emotionally reactive. Life can feel overwhelming, and at times it can feel like we’re failing. But another way of thinking about what we’re going through can make all the difference. Rather than judging our experience negatively as failing at something, it might be just as accurate and undoubtedly more beneficial to think that you made the best decision you could, and now you’re learning to make even better decisions. We often misperceive our moods and emotions as reflecting external events that are not fair or enjoyable. More precisely, our emotions arise from blending our thoughts, beliefs, expectations, and behaviors.

Self Confidence

Sometimes we don’t realize how confident we are until we open up and share our concerns with an experienced psychologist. Having the support and confidence of a Psychologist can mean that you start to feel like you want to feel more often. It can be beneficial when we’re on a rather challenging part of life’s journey to secure support from a professional who is NOT part of your day-to-day life but is always in your corner.

Family Relationships

Relationships are the best, as long as they’re going well, but when they’re off the rails, they can be hard to take. They can cause confusion, upset, and be abusive. “Love is alive” is not the same as “I will always love you.” When someone’s words are not being reflected by what they’re doing, it can be undermining.

“I’m in a relationship with someone who doesn’t seem to respect my feelings anymore. It’s very frustrating not to feel love, admiration, or sometimes even basic respect. It can feel like I’m losing my place in the family, and there doesn’t seem to be anything I can do about it. I feel threatened. I need help to see the power of my love.”

You may find yourself wishing that you weren’t even involved anymore. We don’t get married to someone unless we are in love. But that feeling needs to be nurtured and cultivated by two healthy people to live a long and healthy life of its own. It’s not over. Do it right this time around.

Are you being told, “I don’t love you anymore?” When a loved one (not one of your kids) says, “I hate you and can’t stand to be around you. That’s just how I feel right now.” You might find yourself asking, am I crazy to stay? Is there something wrong with me? It’s challenging, I know, but emotional support will increase the likelihood that you’ll make wise decisions. It’s not over. Do it right this time around.

Death, Dying, Grief, & Mourning

Close relationships are a blessing. They are a challenge and a responsibility when they move toward their final stages due to a medical illness. For some of us, it’s an opportunity to say goodbye, I love you, and I’ll miss you. It’s not an easy time, so secure emotional support for yourself.

Scenario Building

Scenario Building is an activity that one of my clients – many years ago now – encouraged me to practice, as it would potentially create a wonderful outcome. I continue working with this concept and have mingled it with meditation, developing my signature process.

During August, we will slowly be adding “in-person sessions” back into our offerings. Most sessions will continue to take place virtually, as they are so convenient and super confidential. I will send you a ZOOM link, call you a few moments before, or see you in person at our session time.
