 Want Healthy Relationships? For more than 40 years I have helped clients break free and stay free from destructive life problems. I look forward to sharing with you techniques to overcome your life challenges and help you become whole again! Feelings you experience as an adult you learned through observation while infant. This behavior was molded throughout your childhood. Any unhealthy feelings acquired matured with you into adulthood. These unhealthy feelings/ thought patterns are the reason for any self doubt, pain, fear and/or anxiety. These negative assumptions influence your coping skills. All of this, both the good and the bad have created a foundation that we call your "life script." The most common form of therapy style heard about is Cognitive Behavior Therapy. At Dr. Watkins & Associates, we utilize different methods of therapy designed to treat the mind, the body and the spirit as one. Our methods include a combination of Transactional Analysis (TA) and Redecision Therapy. I was trained in these methods while completing my Ph.D in California. Missing from this training however was a component of spirituality, As a priest-psychologist, I witnessed the devastation of the spirit during times of verbal, emotional and physical abuse and other personal losses. I also witnessed the difficulties arising from not treating the spirit within us. Because of that, I developed a component of spiritual healing and incorporated it into my treatment. Miraculous changes occur when the mind, body and spirit are treated equally.
 Want to be Free? It is through spiritual healing that you ultimately find your own personal peace. It is not necessary for you to be actively attending church or even ‘religious’ to benefit from this. To heal spiritually, it is not even necessary to be "spiritual, " You simply must be willing to allow yourself to remain open to the power of the God as you know Him. All that is required is awilling and open heart. Our work includes helping you to understand the "how and why" of personal unhealthy reactions and behaviors. By using the TA model you to discover the underlying reasons for your current coping skills. Through the use of Redecision Therapy we teach you new coping strategies. We assist you in establishing new healthy boundaries and habits.
|  Want to be Joyful? This therapeutic model is truly a short term process requiring approximately 6 to 8 sessions of intense work. After that time, you will have obtained the knowledge and tools necessary to stand on your own. Of course, we encourage you to return when you feel that newly learned techniques are not working well. We will revisit and explore areas of weaknesses and develop a resolution. Through the use of our tried and
proven method of therapy, you will regain your confidence, sense of control,
purpose and direction for your life allowing you to become whole and beautiful
inside and out, just as God intended for you to be. We utilize methods of therapy designed to treat the mind, the body and the spirit as one. Our methods include a combination of Transactional Analysis (TA) and Redecision Therapy and incorporate spirituality into the healing process. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME I am the father of 3 grown children and father-in-law to their spouses.
