What are you running from that keeps you from soaring?

Hi, my name is Rob Koehl, pronounced “kale” like the leafy green vegetable that is supposed to be so good for you. I am a licensed professional counselor in Cottonwood Arizona, which is close enough, yet far away enough from Sedona. I specialize in working with adults who struggle with thinking too much about unhelpful things, freaking out and making things worse, managing uncomfortable emotions, and practicing good relationship skills. Helping people just feeling safe and connected in the world and comfortable in their own skin. I might be able to help you by teaching you about thoughts and emotions, and giving you ways of working with them. Sometimes challenges are the result of past abuse and neglect. We can work to resolve the stress from these past events once you feel safe and have good skills. The first few sessions are about learning and developing new skills based on challenges that you face on a daily basis. My practice is different because I have had a lot of different life experiences that allow me to appreciate the causes and effects that got people into these situations, without judging them. This work is so rewarding because I get to share in people's lives as they reduce suffering and meet important life goals, based on their values.
Integrative work
Integrative work includes two main categories of therapy, present focused and past focused. Present focused treatments focus on how to cope with the stress from trauma that a person struggles with on a daily basis. These are therapies that focus on skill building, working with thoughts, emotions, and behaviors as they overwhelm us in everyday life. Building DBT skills of mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and relationship skills, are present focused skills that dissolve barriers to a fulfilling life. Past focused therapies focus on healing wounds from the past, resolving the emotions of grief, desensitizing, and reprocessing events that were beyond our ability to cope at the time. It is important to have present focused skills and adequate supports in place, before starting past focused work like EMDR.
