When you struggle to respond to life's challenges in a way that is life-giving and constructive, and when you long for a deeper sense of direction in your life, seeking help is a way of honoring yourself in your struggle, as well as those you care about. I believe God is LIFE, and is always seeking to share that Life with those who are willing to truly seek it in the midst of life's challenges.
I believe my role is to engage you in such a way that you discover what you are truly looking for and come to know what your part is in this process of discovery. I, Sheldon Swartz, specialize in helping individuals, couples and families through counseling in the Goshen, IN area. Generally it's people who are living with some sense of dis-ease or discontent that propels them to seek help.
If you are observing that your old ways of living are not providing you with the deep satisfaction you long for, it's time to look at what needs to change.

Obviously if any kind of relationship is going to be helpful it matters who the person is that you are looking to assist you and what they believe and how they would work with you.
Much of that is learned through the actual experience of relating to that person, but sometimes it helps to have a bit of background and context.
First, personally, my wife Velma and I have been learning about ourselves and each other in the context of marriage since the summer of 1975.
We have four children (two girls, two boys), all of whom are married and have children of their own, which makes us grandparents to 13 children.

Counseling is a process whereby a person seeks to resolve personal, interpersonal, and/or spiritual difficulties with the assistance of another caring individual.
As a counselor I bring my own level of maturity, expertise, and experience to the sessions, but of course the ultimate responsibility for growth and change rests with the person seeking help.
One of the roles of the counselor is to observe and call forth the strengths and abilities of the counselee to deal constructively with their own unique challenges, as well as offer compassionate support in accepting and transforming weaknesses.

Anxiety is that uneasy feeling that all is not well or will not be well.
There's a song that goes All shall be well, and all shall be well.
All manner of things shall be well.
Much of the time that sounds like it can't possibly be true.
Just look around.
All is not well and most of the time seems to be moving in the direction of disintegration rather than wholeness.
We wish we could more fully embrace the admonition of Jesus to not worry (Matthew 6:25-34), but that is much more easily said than done.

If you are having a hard time understanding what is going on between you and your spouse, see if you can let yourself into accepting that - that's the nature of relationships.
There's an element of mystery that, if accepted, can take the pressure off you to manage or control what is going on in the relationship and bring your natural curiosity to the surface.
If you don't understand what's going on in your relationship, it doesn't mean you are unintelligent or stupid or ignorant or a failure.
It means you are a normal human being with limitations, but with the capacity to learn, just like everyone else.
