Why not see Psychotherapy and Counseling 
as a gift in your life? 
By Kari Joys MS

To me, psychotherapy and counseling are an incredible gift! For the first time in the history of life on this planet, we, in the twenty-first century, have the incredible, unbelievable opportunity to transform our lives, if we simply make that choice! We can overcome anxiety, depression, poor self esteem and even abuse issues! We can also create healthier relationships and marriages, and even peaceful, harmonious divorce when that is necessary and appropriate. 

We are the first generation in history that actually has the opportunity to overcome our genetics, our family upbringing, our traumas, our unhappy marriages or our negative environments to create happy, successful lives for ourselves! 
Our parents and grandparents, as well as our ancestors, had to simply live with the situations they were born into. If they felt depressed or anxious, if they were abused as children or if they had poor self esteem, they simply had to make the best of it. Their only choice was to go through life in the best way they could manage.

What a wonderful gift it is to simply have the opportunity to go to counseling or psychotherapy and be able to heal the past and create better lives for ourselves! So often we're so busy whining and complaining about how hard it is to do the work it takes to heal, and how unfortunate we are to have been born into such difficult life situations, that we forget to be grateful for the amazing gift we've been given. 

Imagine that psychotherapy and counseling are simply doorways that you can walk through any time you choose to. If you feel depressed or anxious or if you have poor self esteem, you simply have to make the choice to do what it takes to heal. It's true that it will take some time, and you may feel a little uncomfortable at times in the process, but it's never as bad as you think it's going to be! If you are determined and persistent, I know from 25 years of experience that you can absolutely find a way to heal your life! 

Sharing your healing is an honor to me!

I've been a psychotherapist since my early twenties. From the first day I began my work way back then, I felt like I had come home to my true purpose in life! I soon found that working with people who were trying to overcome anxiety, depression, and poor self esteem to create new and better lives for themselves was very meaningful and fulfilling to me.

Still today, I consider it a privilege to work with people like you who are brave enough to face the truth of their lives! When you share the depths of your heart and soul with me, it feels like an honor to me. Even after all my years of experience, I still get an incredible joy out of being a part of your growing and healing process. I know that everyone, including you, has the capacity to release the past and change their life. I also believe that it is my responsibility, as your personal psychotherapist, to make that emotional healing process as easy and painless for you as is humanly possible.

I hope that you'll give me the chance to show you what I’m talking about! Please give yourself the opportunity to experience first-hand the inner peace and light-heartedness that comes from loving yourself and releasing the past. Check out Sessions with Kari to find out how you can contact me directly. Together let’s find your natural joy and light-heartedness! 

If for any reason you are not able to work with me personally at this time, please check out my exciting, new book Choosing Light-Heartedness or my Journey to Light-Heartedness E-Course and find out how you can begin to change your life today, in the comfort and safety of your own home!

Testimonials of Psychotherapy and Counseling with Kari Joys:

Thank you for everything Kari! You have changed my life in such a short time. I can't believe the change in me, I feel like a totally different person! You know there is a change when EVERYONE around you notices and says you even look different :-) You have helped me accomplish more in a few weeks than I would have ever thought possible. I wish I would have called you years ago, maybe I would not have gone through all of this then, but then we all go through things for a reason right? I just feel so strong and empowered now, like I really can do anything! I would not be feeling the way I do right now if it weren't for you, so thank you so much! You are an angel! You're the best, and I am so very thankful for you! Sincerely, Kami 

Dear Kari,
My entire life has changed for the better since meeting you. The anxiety and depression that I suffered from for so much of my life are gone. I now feel a sense of security I have never felt. With your help, I've been able to create a life in which I am truly happy. Your patience, strength and compassion have taught me how to create the life that I want. Love, Staci

Dear Kari,
It's so hard to put into words how you have impacted my life. I am beginning to feel whole, like there is a purpose in my life. I believe now that I really will be able to stand up and make a difference. With your help and guidance, I have begun to shed the cocoon of the wounded child and release the butterfly that is in my heart. I am so looking forward to the transformation! Thank you so very much! Love, Trisha

Dear Kari, 
I want to thank you for all of the help and guidance that I've received from you. When we first began our sessions together, I was very depressed. I felt hopeless, and to some degree, I felt suicidal. Through your compassion and caring, I can now see the light at the end of what was, for me, a very long and dark tunnel. You've helped me to learn to love myself again and find hope and happiness. Thank you, Kari. You've been a great blessing in my life. Sincerely, Sarah

Dear Kari, 
My life has changed so much since you started working with me, all for the better! I now realize I have choices and I can make wise choices that affect me in a positive manner every day. In making wise choices, I have attracted so many good things in my life, my relationships are much better and I am happier than I have ever been. Lastly, and certainly not least, is how much better I feel about myself. I hold my head high! I know that I am a valuable and important person! It shows by the positive people that are now seeking me out. Thank You, Kari! Mark

Dear Kari
I appreciate your loving compassion for me. I know that my real healing started when I came to you. Your belief in me helped me see how precious I am. Your unconditional love and guidance is an inspiration. You model compassion so beautifully, and I am continually amazed at your commitment to helping others heal. Just writing about this gets the tears of gratitude flowing. Love, Light, and Eternal Gratitude, Katherine

Dear Kari,
I wouldn't exist on this plane if it weren't for you. There aren't really words to express how grateful I am for everything you've done for me. Thanks to you, I can focus on new horizons while we wonder what comes next! Our relationship means the world to me and I am so grateful for the experience of working with you. Thank you for taking me under your energetic, Angelic wing! I love you, Cassie

Dear Kari (My Guardian Angel),
Thank you for all of your love and support this past year. You have seen me through the separation of my husband and me, culminating in divorce. You have seen me through my mother's illness and death. You have been like a mother to me in a way, always kind, but firm when you needed to be. Even through the sessions where I could barely talk, because of my depressed state, you gave me hope. I wanted to die and you held onto me and helped me see that it was going to be okay! I appreciate you and thank you so much for your guidance and unconditional love. Now it's time that I'm strong and healthy, to pass this love on to others. I will complete the process you started a year ago, in your office of angels! Love, Jayme

Hi Kari,
I have been thinking of you often. I am not really sure I fully understood the wonderful gift of you that you have always given to me. As I am nearing the end of my MSW education, I can say that I feel transformed in many ways, and I believe that transformation started with me walking into your office all those years ago. What a generous soul you have always been, never pushing, always there to help the doors of understanding open for me. I truly appreciate all that you are, and all that you have done.

I would also like to let you know that I will be throwing a celebration party. I would really love for you to be there, if possible. I will always be grateful to you for believing in me enough to allow me to believe in myself. Thank you so much for that gift! Your generosity of spirit is known to many, and much appreciated by me. Anyway, because I believe you were instrumental in my reaching for and obtaining this dream, I would like to celebrate you as well.                           Yours in keeping the light alive.... Debi
