Ken’s Approach
From Ken’s view, counseling/coaching is about meeting you where you are emotionally and cognitively. The connection Ken endeavors to develop with you is his greatest asset to helping you effectively process through life challenges. The counseling session is a space where you can freely talk through issues that concern you most. To help facilitate this, Ken engages in a reflective, supportive, and responsive way. Although he creates a comfortable place for conversation, he does not shy away from topics that are taboo or awkward to discuss – in order to understand how to reach a goal, it is important to understand the obstacles getting in your way.
