Bruce Triska, Licensed Professional Counselor, a seasoned clinician who specializes in working with adults, adolescents and families whose life circumstance has culminated in an acute crisis of confidence culminating in depression, anxiety, fear, traumatic stress and the dis-ease of addiction. I see counseling as a form of art, if not exercise, as well as a spiritual practice. As an art, rather than a science, I value not controlling where the process must go but focus on developing the skill to follow the unfolding experience. Like an exercise, this approach is playful and combines pleasure with mastery through practice. As a spiritual practice, it is a course of study, a long term exploration of what it is to be a human being and live a well intended life.
