4 Wellness
I established 4 Wellness Counseling to address a need I saw in my various work settings: the need for dedicated, long-term therapeutic support and strong client connections. My practice allows me to provide flexible, personalized help, built on the belief that genuine, lasting change is possible when we create space for it.
My approach is all about the whole person, considering every dimension that contributes to your well-being. I help clients uncover their core values and figure out what they truly want from life, building a strong foundation for meaningful change and real progress.
I have a vision of a community where people have the tools and support they need to not only feel good physically and mentally, but to also create an environment that fosters growth and lasting well-being. This is all based on the idea that when we're well as individuals, we can make a positive impact on our communities and the world. The four dimensions of wellness were designed to reflect this vision.
4 Dimensions of Wellness
Mental/Emotional:
Mental and emotional wellness involve understanding, accepting, and managing emotions. This is where counseling takes place. This dimension supports healthy relationships, effective coping skills, and personal growth.
Physical:
Physical wellness includes your body and how it functions with the rest of your being. A healthy body supports mental clarity, emotional resilience, and energy to engage in meaningful activities.
Spiritual:
Spiritual wellness involves finding purpose, meaning, and values, often by connecting with something greater than oneself whether through faith, meditation, or values alignment. This dimension fosters peace, acceptance, and sense of purpose.
Environmental:
Environmental wellness is about fostering safe, supportive spaces and understanding the impact of our surroundings on health and well-being. This includes being aware of our relationships with nature and contributing to a healthier world.
Synergy
A stable mental state allows for spiritual exploration; spiritual wellness can inspire actions that respect the environment; and a balanced environment promotes physical health and emotional stability. Addressing each dimension is essential, as wellness in one area supports and enhances wellness in others promoting a well-rounded and effective life system.
