Home Location, Fees,        & Scheduling Informational Links ~ Mindful living to reduce suffering ~ If you suffer from feelings of anxiety or depression or just want to to grow in self-understanding and your ability to handle problems, my goal is to serve you with empathy and not judgment. I often teach clients meditation and mindfulness practices which I have used for many years myself and which are increasingly being accepted as important therapeutic tools for a variety of types of clients. In counseling I draw from several forms of therapy, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy. I have a master's degree in Professional Counseling and am currently a registered Professional Counselor intern with the Oregon State Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists. My understanding of the human psyche and the processes of freeing the mind from psychological suffering also draws heavily from my own meditation practice and my journey of personal growth over the years. In addition to my private practice, I work as a therapist at the Center for Family Development in Eugene. I also lead meditation sessions and give talks on spiritual awakening through the HeartAwake Center. Email: alan@heartawake.com   Phone: 541 510-8804.
