Now offering Telehealth and Coaching! My name is Don Self and I have 25+ years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor. Though my formative years as a counselor have been spent working with children and teenagers, I work with adults and couples. I started my agency, Temenos Counseling Services, to emphasize my philosophy that counseling should be a safe place to heal. As a counselor, I focus on helping clients heal from their individual traumas, develop their lives, and plan for their futures. I work with my clients to develop goals that lead to more meaningful and fulfilling lives.
In addition to trauma treatment, I have added Life Coaching and Integrated Mental Health for a whole person perspective. I use a variety of techniques that include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Progressive Counting. Life Coaching adds a goal and future perspective. Integrated Mental Health adds physical and nutritional aspects.
Years ago, a friend of mine introduced me to the concept of "Temenos". Temenos is a Greek word that has come to mean "a safe place" or a place where warriors can take off their armor, lay down their weapons, and find peace. I believe that counseling is Temenos.
