counseling, on purpose
About my work
Practical Depth Work
You are ready to quit your job, at least, a part of you is ready. And yet, there is still someone inside who is scared to take the leap. You are being pulled in opposite directions – a pull into the unknown and a pull to stay where it is safe. You feel hesitant and unclear how to move forward. Stalemate.
There is no quick fix, let’s just stay here for a while – with your fear; with your desire for something novel and greater, and with the painstaking and crazy-making tension these two opposing forces generate.
We will let these two parts say what they have to say. What is the scared part afraid of? Maybe it is holding on to an experience from the past…
This is the depth work. And it will give us a clearer idea of where you are. Then we return to the practical. Now that you know the inner-terrain you are working with, what action steps make sense for you to take?
Maybe you find the fear is from childhood and is, at present, mostly unfounded. Or maybe you find the fear is so gripping you can barely move. In one of these instances, making the leap and quitting the job makes sense. In the other, some more time may be needed.
100% Support
We all have our own darkness, and therapy is a place to uncover this. But it can be scary. What does it look like to explore vulnerable or shameful parts of oneself in a way that is helpful?
This takes courage – a kind of moving forward despite your body’s warning signs of danger.
In these fragile moments, I am simply a witness, praising your courage to dig into yourself. It is, very sincerely, an honor to see you and witness you in your process.
i am a mirror.
I will reflect what I see. I will be there to celebrate your wins. And I will be there to study your lessons with you.
There is no losing – only winning and learning.
Meet Kevin
Hi, I’m Kevin Cannella, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and my work is to help people align with their core values and transform.
I know this territory because I have walked this path myself. Beginning at the ripe age of 22, I shoe-stringed my way into adventures in the jungles of Peru, the fertile island of Maui, Mother India, and the high planes of Brazil. This went on for years.
This was a volatile time that gave me a great opportunity to use the skills I was learning. With zero external stability to lean on, I had to “be a lamp unto myself.”
To say all of this was transformative is certainly an understatement. Yet, I still needed to align myself with purpose, connection, contribution, and fulfillment. This led me to formally study psychology and counseling at Naropa University in Boulder, CO.
Now, in my practice, I help others find their path and find their inner and outer stability through the inevitable changes that life brings.
Get in touch and we can discuss what you have going on and if we think that this is a good fit for both of us. I offer free 20-min phone consultations.
