Dr. Asper provides the following services:

INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING

Individual counseling is helpful for three different types of issues:

  • For stress and depression: The focus is on relearning mistaken beliefs such as personalizing, relaxation training, developing assertive skills -especially saying no, learning to set limits on shoulds, learning to prioritize and to set easily achievable goals.

  • For recovering from divorce and/or breakup of a significant relationship: The focus of this work is in managing the pain and getting on with your life.

  • For panic disorder: The focus is on understanding that the fear of the symptoms (referred to as second fear) is the actual cause of panic attacks. Also, Dr. Asper helps you learn that the symptoms are not dangerous and can be tolerated.


    COUPLES COUNSELING

    Couples counseling is helpful for two different types of issues:

  • Focusing on the concept of sharing power in a partnership. Learning that nobody is right and nobody is wrong, that conflict comes from different wants and values. Learning to resolve conflict with win win negotiating. Learning to communicate without attacking and getting personal.

  • Learning how to manage children’s behavior problems. Focusing on using consequences instead of “talk”. Especially learning how parents inadvertently reinforce the very behaviors they hate such as whining and arguing.
