Creativ Life

Specialties

Counseling, Coaching, Recovery, Stress Reduction, Spirituality

With Creativ Life I want to expand the context of counseling and take it out of the box into nature and into the very environments where one’s obstacles or limitations show up. The rejuvenating and restorative power of nature can be a very useful catalyst in the counseling process. And meeting with you in your home or in places you frequent can help to bring the immediacy of an issue to light and help to shift patterns. It also provides many clues which might take much longer to discover without venturing out of the «box.»

That said, it can be useful to meet indoors as that can provide a sense of safety and containment. In this case, the creativity doesn’t come as much from the context as it does from the content. The content includes the words that we exchange but also includes the words which are unspoken and may also include silence, guided meditation, visualization and hypnotherapy among other healing modalities.

My primary intention with Creativ Life is to help you marshall your own dormant resources to effect the change that you want. Ultimately, you will become your own counselor, coach and wise advocate. When this happens you will no longer look outside yourself for solutions to your problems. Although you may draw on outside resources, the impetus and confidence to solve your problems will come from within.

Davide S.

Business Owner

I am a graduate of Interchange Counseling Institute. A fundamental tenet of Interchange is that in order to effect change in the world one must start with oneself. This is one of the things that drew me to Interchange since I believe that personal development and effective counseling go hand-​in-​hand.

My interest and curiosity about how people change led me to pursue a degree in Psychology. I graduated from New York University with a B.A. in Psychology.

That was the beginning of a lifelong pursuit of knowledge and wisdom. Along the way, I’ve found certain teachings to be helpful in effecting change within myself and others. Among them are:

The Work of Byron Katie where I completed The School for the Work

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is the foundation of Smart Recovery (smart recov​ery​.org) where I recently completed facilitator training

Human Awareness Institute where I have completed 5 of 9 levels and am in the process of becoming an Assistant
