Out of the Box, Counseling, Coaching, and Consulting Takes a Unique Approach to Helping People

Have you ever felt like there’s no one in the world who understands you? Or that there’s no one who can help you feel better?

Everyone goes through the ups and downs of life. However, some of the lows are very difficult to deal with on your own.

When the weight of your problems gets too heavy, it may be time to reach out for help. Doing so is not unusual at all. As discussed in this article by The Hill, about 37 percent of Gen Z have received psychological treatment or gone to therapy, and the number of Americans going to therapy is increasing.

However, finding the right therapist practice for you can be tough. Obviously, each person is different and you will not click with everyone. If you don’t get along well with one therapist, there are many others that you will.

Founded by Dr. Olivia West, Out of the Box Counseling, Coaching, & Consulting is a not-for-profit group private mental health practice with a mission “To provide Quality and Affordable Private Practice mental healthcare to all despite socio-economic status, race, creed, color, identity, orientation, language, ability, disability, age, sex, or origin while also maintaining a sublime Quality of Life for our clinicians.”

Holding a doctorate degree in International Psychology, Dr. Olivia West, also known as Dr. O, is an advocate, author, coach, consultant, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and hypnotherapist who could have just the right approach to help you transform yourself.

“My organization takes a holistic approach to therapy because of our belief that therapy is not just about ‘emotional regulation’ but understanding the relationship between our physical health, personal affairs, and mental well-being. Thus, we use a balanced technique of incorporating wellness and harmony in your mind, body, and personal affairs by including various counseling, coaching, and consulting services within our practice,” shares Dr. O.

Out of the Box currently has a staff of 24 clinicians providing services to an array of clients ages 3 and up. So, if traditional talk-based therapy does not serve you best, Out of the Box has a variety of options.

Take brainspotting, for example, which is discussed in depth in Out of the Box’s website. The website describes a brainspot as the eye position where you look, which is related to the energetic/emotional activation of a traumatic/emotionally charged issue within the brain.

But how does this help with making you feel better after traumatic experiences? Well, it’s great for finding the deeper, underlying places inside you that hold onto your trauma so that you can release them. Being able to tap into those previous situations can help to feel your way through them in a safe environment.

The human body is smart and shields against harm, but this can also hide deeper issues that must be resolved to truly overcome pain. It’s important to dig deeper and address these underlying problems to move past trauma.

If you have been struggling and need a different approach to mental health and help, this might be the right place for you. Dr. Olivia West and Out of the Box Counseling, Coaching, & Consulting help people in a way that is different from other psychologists. So, if you need a therapist who knows about people and business, reach out to her here.
