		Many of the problems that life serves up draw their power from some aspect of our beliefs about them. In fact, sorting out our experiences in the world from the assumptions, opinions, conclusions, stories, and paradigms that we carry, wittingly or unwittingly, requires the special skills that philosophical counseling brings to the table. Often the only thing we can change in a situation is ourselves—but when we change ourselves, remarkably, our world changes. This is why the ancients placed consummate value on the instruction, "know thyself," for they knew that self-knowledge is the key to happiness and "human flourishing." PHILO℠ counseling is designed to help clients clear contradictions, correct false beliefs and assumptions, and start enjoying improvements in wellness, work, energy, mood, peace of mind, relationships, and quality of life. In addition to uncovering often surprising solutions to even chronic and intractable problems, PHILO℠ serves as a proven framework for the cultivation of self-awareness and self-knowledge essential to conscious, creative living. Through this steady, guided process of "life revision," clients consistently report remarkable results in a relatively short time. For 30 years, PhilosophyCenter has helped clients and students achieve clearer self-definition, a deeper sense of life direction and purpose, and the joyful awareness that being alive is a wonderful deal and not just an exhausting exercise in coping with problems and stress. for individuals or couples one scheduled 60-minute phone session provides a safe place for needed self-work addresses and resolves areas of contradiction, unexamined habit, and unwitting choice that have become self-defeating identifies new and better choices based on a more insightful apprehension of the truth of the situation, which frees the client from the exhausting and potentially damaging effects of longstanding contradiction and conflict delivers consistent, scheduled support to help the client stay on track to "the good life" and the fulfillment of his best vision, passion, and purpose

		The profound benefits of philosophical counseling are well established. Using unique methods many of which we developed, PHILO℠ delivers support for everyday living proven in thousands of sessions and designed to enlighten, inspire, and transform. PHILO℠ can help you: identify and resolve hidden contradictions and unexamined assumptions that are having an adverse impact on your inner and outer life upgrade your mindset to improve your prevailing mood throughout the day for greater ease and "flow" clarify next steps on your life path actualize your best vision for your life in work and relationships including a road map and action steps discover new depths of commitment, excellence, and efficiency break free of habitual, "default" thinking that hides or hinders better choices enjoy a renewal of enthusiasm, deeper appreciation for being alive, and a greater sense of purpose

		Philosophical counseling does not follow the therapeutic model of diagnosis and treatment but uses educational methods based on viewing the client as a free agent capable of honest self-assessment, insight, understanding, self-knowledge, and responsible choice. Rather than treating conditions, philosophical counseling aims to shed light on the underlying beliefs, assumptions, and paradigms that are shaping the client's view of self and world. Furthermore, since psychotherapy often involves exploration of the client's past, e.g., traumas suffered in childhood, it can require a protracted commitment. Philosophical counseling, on the other hand, focuses on the present to examine the existential structures of self-definition and the subtle assignments of meaning and significance that are informing the client's experience. Philosophical counseling is an educational rather than therapeutic method and makes no therapeutic claims.
