Yes, not one but two people this week entered therapy and blurted out, “I don’t believe in therapy, but my spouse made me.” I chuckled. This wasn’t the first time I had heard this, nor probably will it be the last, but this reminded me of me in 1989 when I attended my first counseling session. For me, I went to therapy due to debilitating anxiety and not wanting to take the medication route.

“What’s the point?” said a client to me the other day. How about you? How many times have you felt like giving up? I have found that people with a history of things not going their way assume that everything in their life will go bad. But this doesn’t have to be the case.

Thirty-two years. That’s how long I have been in this industry. It is hard to believe I lasted so long. You either sink or swim. During this time, I realized that clients are the authority of themselves, and it is important to look at life through their eyes. This has been eye-opening, especially when I can step out of my position and see things from their perspective.

Self-care isn’t a luxury, it’s a vital part of maintaining your mental health. Taking time to rest, set boundaries, and check in with yourself can help you manage stress, prevent burnout, and stay grounded during challenging times.

At Basic Steps Mental Health, we believe small, consistent actions can make a big difference. Remember, prioritizing your well-being is not selfish, it’s essential. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, it’s okay to ask for support.

You don’t have to do it alone!

You’ve heard the statement, “What’s the worst thing that can happen?” Instead, why not focus on the best thing that can happen? You see, when we focus on the worst things, we create the worst things. The flip side can bring to you your dreams — and it sure did for me. At Basic Steps Mental Health, we teach our participants how to focus on what they want. These “Ideal Scenes” help people imagine some miracle taking place, visualize themselves walking around in it, and then jotting down, line by line, all the items of this dream. What you see is what you can be.

Relationships take a lot of work to keep alive, fresh, and upbeat. You would think that falling in love was all that is needed, but to be honest, when two people connect, they bring with them their doubts, fears, and unresolved issues. Maneuvering through this can bring heartache if one doesn’t know the proper tools. Who knows, maybe what you learn in this article can set things right in your current relationship.

It had been 15 years since I was reunited with my paperwork from school. Like an ancient treasure that I vaguely remembered, all of the handouts we used at the University of Santa Monica lay before my grubby hands! I was over the moon with excitement because what lay before me changed me from a little boy to a man!

For a long time, I held back from sharing some of the most powerful tools I learned at the University of Santa Monica. These are techniques I use every day in my practice, tools that have helped thousands of people and sustained me through more than 30 years in the mental health field, including many years working in a crisis center.

Spiritual Psychology isn’t about labels or beliefs. It’s about practical, life-changing tools that support healing, clarity, and deeper self-understanding. If you’re hungry for change, it may be time to explore what’s possible when mind, heart, and spirit work together.

Happy holidays to you and yours. I don’t know about you, but when the holidays come around, memories of the past come rushing to mind, both good and bad. Luckily, I have plenty of tools to support me through the old anger and hurt, and I try to hold onto the good memories for as long as I can.

We develop individual treatment plans. In our Intensive Outpatient program, we provide a minimum of two individual sessions per week, daily workshops that teach people various counseling skills, and by treatment, end participants are able to master our “Self-Counseling Approach” where they literally counsel themselves on paper! This is more than a Dual Diagnosis Clinic - in treating both Addiction and Mood problems we also address your life direction.

We stand by our commitment to free Aftercare to people who have completed our Intensive Outpatient Program. Our program is an Alternative to the 12 Steps.
