Stay Balanced
Our counseling services in Calabasas, CA, are rooted in a holistic approach that views life in its totality. This integrated view proposes four main areas in human life: Physical, Financial, Psychological, and Spiritual. Research has shown that each of these four areas is interconnected, with one affecting the others.
A healthy, flourishing life requires understanding and developing all four. Suffering, pain, and loss are a part of every human life, and like a chair, if you have four strong legs, you can stay balanced using the other three when one gets weak. If you only have three and one gets weak, you are more likely to fall, as you cannot balance on just two.
We all experience minor and major setbacks—sometimes self-inflicted and others beyond our control. Developing stability in each area of life helps you stay balanced when one is strained or under attack. Therapy, counseling, and coaching are not about someone else solving your problems. While most people understandably want to handle personal issues independently, there comes a time when we need an outside perspective. Ultimately, our counseling services help you discover your resources to put the pieces together and start living the life you were meant to live.
With Catholic Therapy, You Do Not Have to Leave Your Faith at The Door
Human beings exist in an integral unity of body and spirit. Some therapeutic approaches ignore the spiritual domain altogether, while others go to the opposite extreme, believing all of our troubles are purely spiritual.
At The Integrated Life, we embrace human psychological and spiritual dimensions. This harmonious approach recognizes that the primary condition for change in therapy is the relationship between the client, who chooses to change, and the therapist, who provides competent care and treatment.
People of all faith traditions find Catholic therapy refreshing. It opens doors to new ways of thinking and looks at life more holistically than many other forms of traditional treatment.
"I am not alone"
Bill helped us with our marriage more in one session that several other therapists did in multiple sessions. He gave us real ideas to help us grow together individually and as a couple

Why Catholic Counseling Services in Calabasas, CA
A Catholic-Christian approach to counseling acknowledges growing research on spirituality's role as a powerful resource for the healing process. This view demands respect and dignity for each person entering the clinic, including respecting the client's religious beliefs without the therapist imposing their own.
In line with Christian anthropology, The Integrated Life recognizes that man is simultaneously individual and social, and that all life is sacred. Each person is worthy of respect, and the dignity of the human person is the foundation of society.
Most importantly, it recognizes that human beings have the capacity to change. The Catholic worldview, based on natural law, proposes that man is instilled with a sense of rationality and reason, which gives him the ability to choose. In particular, the virtue of temperance (self-control) recognizes that with effort, people can change their behavior.
Our faith-based marriage counseling, relationship counseling, and coaching in Calabasas, CA, are designed to help individuals and couples find healing, rebuild trust, and rediscover joy.
“You must remember to love people and use things, rather than to love things and use people.”
“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.“
“Life doesn’t make any sense without interdependence. We need each other, and the sooner we learn that, the better for us all.”
“Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.”
“Be content with what you have. Rejoice in how things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking the whole world belongs to you.”
“If you deliberately plan on being less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you’ll be unhappy for the rest of your life.”
“People often focus on things beyond their control to avoid dealing with the things that are within their control”
“It takes three to make love, not two: you, your spouse, and God.”
“Everybody should do at least two things each day that he hates to do, just for practice.”
“The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.”
“The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.”
