Next Breath's practice is deeply rooted in the belief that every individual is born with inherent goodness—a quality that remains unspoiled throughout life. As clients evolve, they often internalize messages from parents, family members, and society, which ultimately shape their worldview. Often, these experiences dictate how one forms attachments with others and themselves. In their early years, individuals have little choice but to absorb these beliefs, frequently rooted in well-meaning intentions from conditioned caregivers striving to do their best. As a result, many accept these narratives without question, even when the stories they embody are fraught with hardship; familiarity can feel more secure than the unknown. Therapy becomes a transformative vessel, offering clients an escape from these inherited tales and enabling them to forge a fresh narrative. At Next Breath Counseling, they specialize in EMDR and mindfulness-based counseling approaches, embodying the notion that everyone yearns to become a better version of themselves and seeks actionable strategies to achieve that goal. The counseling team understands the challenges of initiating a therapeutic relationship, which is why they offer complimentary consultation sessions—an opportunity for potential clients to engage in conversation without pressure or obligation, with the hope of guiding them towards a brighter path ahead.
