Welcome To Pine Meadow Counseling
History
Pine Meadow counseling (PMC) began 16 years ago and established its non-profit status in 2008, enabling the provision of low cost counseling services and an expansion of its trainee program. PMC counselors utilize a counseling approach very different from most others available in the current field of mental health. Because it is a new way of looking at human nature and human potential, it calls for an entirely different way of going about the helping process.
"When clarity and purity of thought are present, the answer you seek will present itself, for what you seek is within you and has been with you always."
Syd Banks
It is understandable why many have been reluctant to go to counseling in the past. The traditional view of counseling is that the counselor is going to dredge up hurtful feelings, look deeply into why those feelings exist and offer remedies in a "touchy, feely" fashion. We do not use the traditional techniques of taking you into your past, teaching you to control your thoughts, feelings or behavior, since these tend to fall short of a long term solution.
