If so, counseling with Subhan is right for you:
An experienced counselor and educator, Subhan brings the gifts of unconditional love and understanding to your sessions. In his warm and accepting company, you easily find courage to explore the hidden places inside yourself that request attention. As your exploration together yields greater trust, you readily find Subhan is your safe place to land in the world.
Knowing that a loving heart is true medicine, Subhan creates a safe environment for you to discover a deeper understanding of yourself - both the obstacles that prevent your growth and the innate strengths that support your path to healing. Using a unique therapeutic approach he calls Self-Discovery Counseling, Subhan combines spontaneity and intuition with tools such as dialoging, family constellation work, meditation, and the releasing process. Over time, you are enabled to achieve greater awareness about your current state of being. In light of this new information (the underlying causes of strife in your relationships, the reasons for dissatisfaction with your career, or the ways in which your decision-making and money matters interfere with real happiness) you are then empowered to release the childhood wounds and negative patterns that prevent your growth. As a result, you find yourself making choices on a daily basis that enhance, rather than detract from your life.
Working with Subhan, you may:
- Break through emotional barriers and find that a richer life is now available to you.
- Treat yourself and those you love with greater authenticity, integrity, kindness and respect.
- Break through old relationship patterns to build more meaningful connections.
- Expand your career horizons and find a job you genuinely enjoy.
- Experience true prosperity in your life and worry less about money.
- Make decisions more easily - with less fear, guilt, or worry.
- Create a less stressful life that allows you to accomplish your goals and still find time to relax.
The fundamentals of Self-Discovery Counseling:
Self-Discovery Counseling is Subhan's unique therapeutic approach based on the understanding that awareness of our unconscious behavior is a stepping stone to a conscious life. This awareness grows through acknowledging and experiencing the obstacles in our path and is strongly assisted by many meditation techniques. Through them, the mind's incessant chatter diminishes and a space for understanding, healing and transformation is created. Subhan's role is to assist the client in discovering the conditioning of childhood, as well as experiencing the unconscious decisions and strategies that were made as a child that still deeply affect us as adults. Subhan uses both intuitive abilities and years of experience to spontaneously offer appropriate techniques when particular issues are identified. As a result of these collaborative and highly personalized sessions, the client is ultimately able to make effective, life-enhancing choices that allow him or her to live a more relaxed and satisfying life.
Testimonials
"When a friend referred me to Subhan, I was challenged by numbness and confusion that prevented me from being intimate and loving with others. The first thing I noticed was the peace of Subhan's presence and the energy in his understanding. Learning that he too had passed in my shoes and continues to enjoy meaningful intimate relationships brought validity to his words and trust in his teachings. After working with Subhan, the beauty of self-awareness invites itself from time to time, bringing the amazing gift of clarity and vigor. I now appreciate the love I feel for MYSELF and how I share this love with others. Thank you Subhan!"

"After suffering depression and anxiety for several years, I began looking for something beyond medication. Through working with Subhan, I gained tools and meditation exercises to help me express my emotions. Since then, I've begun to feel much more able to cope with real life, on life's terms. I have learned how to find PEACE, JOY, AND ABUNDANCE in my life no matter what is going on, including the ups and downs of being in a long term, intimate relationship! Subhan's guidance and counseling has played an integral part in my ability to do this. My job and my relationships continue to nourish and teach me instead of torture me. Thank you Subhan."
