HistoryThe past may shape and establish one's present experience or identity, but it does not define their future. I have spent extensive time counseling adolescents, families, and adults. Erika, a twenty-three year old rape counselor, suffered from anxiety and past sexual abuse. The essential goal of her treatment was to help Erika understand why she was reluctant to assert herself with her family and boyfriend without becoming paralyzed by fear. Working collaboratively, Erika and I explored her past relationships and her responses to emotional experiences around disappointment, anger, and helplessness. As Erika processed and gained perspective into feelings of vulnerability, she began to create new boundaries with her parents and boyfriend. She started making decisions that aligned with her values, which gave her a sense of well-being and confidence in her ability to make choices that were emotionally and psychologically healthy for her.SpecialtiesDr. Alea Baron is available for those looking to enhance their personal growth, to find positive meaning within their lives, and live life more fully.
