Dougas Gotel, LICSW, RPT-S
Introduction
You are trying to shine bright like a diamond and have the things most us desire for a good life. But there is something dimming your brilliance—it constricts you. You know, those feelings of doubt, dread, disgruntlement, desperation, or despair. Like that constant wondering about whether you are viewed as competent at work; like that disappointment you cover up with food, drink or overachieving because you haven’t met “the one;” like that hurt you carry from a past that shamed you or the depths of grief; or like the helplessness felt when your child is struggling. I want you to know that parts of you are welcomed here: That fun-loving part, the professional [pardon, the perfectionist/controlling] part, the race part, the gender and sexuality parts, the parent part, and that hurt or insecure child part. We offer you a soft place to fall…and to get back up. Using a what I call Thrive Alchemy™ (a mix of symbol work, art, mindfulness, thought strategies and touch of real), I help queer and heterosexual men of color, women of color and children and youth of various backgrounds to undo the thinking and behaviors that block joy and provide tools to cope when life forces you to pivot. At Gotel & Thrive, our specialists have a singular agenda: to help you release yourself and flourish! Prioritize your wellbeing today and schedule a free consultation.
