Working to Help You Feel Better
If you were to ask Ann McIntosh to describe her approach to providing psychotherapy and counseling services, she might in a more casual moment reply, "Whatever works." And that's because in 17 years of helping clients deal with the many different types of troubling issues that so often interfere with experiencing life to the fullest, she's learned well the lesson that forms the bedrock of her practice. Every individual is unique, and no single solution can possibly address the complexity that is both the wonder of existence and the source of personal discontent.
To meet Ann in a professional setting is to experience from the outset an immediate connection to her highly interactive and involved style. Part of the feeling derives from her attractive office, but what fills the room and envelopes her clients is what really counts. Her presence welcomes them to a comfortable and caring environment, a safe and nurturing atmosphere where stress and anxiety can melt away, where they can discover how to overcome their difficulties, calm their frustrations, and achieve their personal goals.
One of the most common questions a psychotherapist and counselor ever receives during initial contact with potential clients is, "What do you deal with?" Her answer covers an extensive list of specific mental health issues, such as: obesity and weight management; bulimia and body dysmorphia disorder; stress, anxiety and depression; marriage and couple's counseling; bi-polar disorders; lifestyle coaching and behavioral change; relationship counseling for couples, individuals, and family members; personal growth and self-esteem, and financial disarray.
Clients often enter therapy with the expectation that the process works from the outside in. Ann's approach to positive change makes short work of this misconception by emphasizing that all good characteristics of personal behavior worth cultivating must rise from the seed of necessity. The key principle of "needs" and its utility for creating good characters in novels can serve as an effective illustration of Ann's methods.
In fiction, a psychological need is described as behavior that detracts from the character's life, does not harm others, and is left unresolved in spite of the character's knowledge of it. A moral need harms others, but is left untreated because the character is oblivious.
Ann treats both with two interrelated concepts: empathy, and reconciling words with action to guide clients in accomplishing what they say they want to do.
