Alaya offers psychotherapy for adults in a multitude of situations which range from trauma resolution to crises of faith to grief and bereavement work to mid-life reviews to questions of faith & spirituality. This is certainly not an exhaustive list but gives one a hint of the breadth of her work. She especially delights in working with men, who are ready to "wake up" to themselves. Given her experience in male dominated business settings, prior to her healership, Alaya is uniquely suited to this role with men from all walks of life.
However, she is not a medical doctor and thus can not offer medication, psychiatric evaluations or legal / court representation. If this is what you are seeking, call your family physician and ask for a referral or call Alaya and she will seek to find a referral that meets your needs.
In essence, Alaya seeks to "get herself out of a job". Psychotherapy, in a traditional approach could be divided into the activity of "advice" and the activity of "exploration". For clarity sake, Alaya uses the word "counseling" to refer to "advice offered by an expert" and "therapy" to refer to the "activity of self-exploration". Alaya specializes in therapy and refers folks who are seeking counseling.
The intent behind personal exploration is to facilitate an evolution of one's self, one's soul and one's personal self-expression in the world. One might say its purpose is to move into authentic freedom to live one's live by choice rather than from history. Alaya brings to bear not only her own 26 + years of experience as a clinician, but also her own growth and maturation culled from her own personal analytic work. And yet again even beyond this, she also weaves into the therapeutic process her insights from years of study in Jungian philosophy and analytic forms , as well as theological explorations. To the degree a client wishes to access this aspect of Alaya's skills is the degree to which she will offer them. This decision is a co-operative one between Alaya and her clients.
Independent of the issue which brings a person to Alaya, she is quick to encourage follks to attend at least Level ONE of the training in the (W)hole Point Wisdom Model (WPW) for the purpose of supporting and facilitating their own development. This is nearly a requirement to work with her, and is powerfully empowering and financially efficient.
