The Apostle Paul said “each of us has one body with many members” (Romans 12:4-5). In a similar fashion, Willi Dalaba, LCSW, sees people composed of different parts that make up the whole. Physical, mental, emotional and spiritual all combine to make up an individual. A good counselor, she believes, may need to help a client bring into a better balance these different aspects of their personality. This is part of the theoretical grounding and expertise that Willi Dalaba brings to her years of counseling experience.

Are you in the thick of life transitions? Whether it be a new health or disability diagnosis, becoming a parent for the first time (or again), relationship conflicts, or coping with loss? When we face certain life changes, it is not uncommon to feel disconnected from ourselves and our core values. What if you can collaboratively work through anxiety, stress, and other intense emotions, with a therapist who sees your journey as unique and supports your personal needs and desires? I focus on creating a safe space where you can securely navigate toward reconnecting with you or defining the new you.

As any mental health professional would know—especially a clinical psychologist with 35 years of experience—there are no ideal clients. All clients are imperfect, struggling to make sense of their emotional confusions, flaws and wounds. Each client seeks from therapy some form of healing and deeper understanding; but the process of doing so is unclear and uncertain. The psychotherapist role is to provide a safe, open and nonjudgmental relationship in which painful and often hidden personal issues can be explored and better understood. Then the challenges of taking small, fragile steps towards healing can be faced together.
