“My professional background includes work with clients who have
succeeded in overcoming situations ranging from nail biting to bulimia. I love
what I do. My goal is to facilitate a person’s discovery of their inner healing
resources.
As far as I am concerned, a therapist is a teacher, guide and
coach.
First, I teach people about the mind and heart and how they really
work. I then guide them to that area within themselves where they can engage in
very powerful, positive self-persuasion. At the same time I am coaching my
clients toward a more empowering vision of themselves.” - C. Devin Hastings
