Mental Health Growth and Acceptance: ABT Balances Both



Mental Health Growth can be Challenging

If you’ve ever struggled (or are currently struggling!) with mental health, you know that sometimes doing just one more thing can be difficult. Even every day tasks can be challenging. Searching for a counselor, showing up to your appointment, and explaining all the details that are contributing to your current difficulties is even more daunting! Mental health growth is often overwhelming.

At ABT Counseling, we know that coming to your appointments can be challenging. That’s why we strive to make the process as easy as possible for you. Not only do we have a streamlined procedure to set you up with a counselor who will be the best fit given your concerns, scheduling, and insurance company, but we’re also mental health growth specialists. Our counselors and medication management providers know how to help you navigate the best way forward for your growth.

How ABT Counseling Approaches Growth

At ABT Counseling, our therapists and medication management providers truly enjoy helping clients grow. We use a variety of skills, theories, and specialized interventions to help clients improve their moods, relationships, and daily functioning in each therapy session. However, as much as mental health growth (read: change) is necessary, sometimes acceptance is needed first.

Modeling Acceptance for our Clients

Acceptance allows us to acknowledge what “is”. It doesn’t require us to agree that what “is” is as it “should” be. In other words, even if we don’t agree with something, we can’t deny that it’s happening or has happened to us or because of us.

As Carl Jung, a founder in psychological thought, states, “We cannot change anything until we accept it”. Acceptance allows us to acknowledge our pasts as reality and opens a path for growth.

ABT counselors use a balance between acceptance and growth to help you feel safe and comfortable, while also challenging you to be your best. This dialectical balance between growth and acceptance allows ABT counselors and medication management providers to meet you where you are. Through acceptance, they can truly empathize with your individualized circumstances and needs.

Radical Acceptance to Radical Growth

Through modeling acceptance, ABT Counseling has the honor of helping you radically accept your past choices, emotions, and circumstances. Then, with this enhanced understanding and continued support from ABT, you can identify what’s needed to move into who you want to be.

Mental Health Growth and Acceptance

As always, if you’re looking for someone who just “gets” you and can help you accept your current circumstances, one of our many counselors would be honored to come alongside you to understand your experience and what it will take to get where you want to go.
