INNOVATIVE, HOLISTIC WOMIN-AFFIRMATIVE™ COUNSELING FOR YOU . . .
*********
. . . If you're looking for a counselor who's down-to-earth . . .
. . . if you're looking for a down-to-earth, easy to talk to counselor, who specializes in helping (either in-office, by phone or internet groups) to enhance or restore peace of mind and a quality of life for clever, unconventional artistic wimmin™, lesbians, bisexuals, gay, trans, questioning folks, wimmin of color and wimmin-affirmative(tm) men . . .
. . . then, you've come to the right place . . .
*****
Meet AfraShe Asungi . . .
I firmly believe . . .
that things happen for a reason . . .
There's certainly a good reason why you're here right now . . . and why you're reading through my online profile, right?
Well, if that reason is that you're currently looking for a particular type of counselor or coach, who'll be a good fit for your unique needs and personality; and [naturally] want to know a bit more about me . . . then you've surely come to the right place . . .
. . . Wellcome!™ . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
So let me share a bit about myself . . .
I'm a [rather unconventional] Psychospiritual, Solution-Focused and SpiraCulturally(tm)-based psychotherapist (Licensed Clinical Social Worker); Certified WellBalance ReShaper(tm); Certified Life Purpose, Transitions & Wimmin's SpiraCultural(tm) Coach; Certified Substance Abuse & Relapse Counselor; Visionary Fine Artist; Intuitive Empath, and Gender Arts Activist.
*****
You deserve and can have
balance, success, satisfaction
and authentic happiness
in your life . . .
and I'm here to help you . . .
I'm a down-to earth, easy to talk to, Solution Focused, Womin-Affirmative(tm), and results-oriented counselor and coach, with the experience and the ability to effectively help you and your loved ones to successfully reach your specific life-change goals, which will also bring balance and a restored sense of satisfaction and peace of mind back into your lives.
Taking a common-sense approach, I use a unique combination of counseling methods proven to be effective in helping you to resolve worrisome dramas, Self-sabotaging thoughts and emotions which have you stuck and held hostage in your personal and professional life; your romantic relationship; your marriage, partnership, family or academic problems.
You don't have to stay stuck in unsatisfactory relationships; feelings of isolation, anxiety, depression, a prolonged lack of self-esteem; unmanageable and overwhelming academic pressures.
~ we can help you Proactively ReShape™ . . .
Typical results of our mutually working together can include:
*****
"The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit.
The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are . . ."
Like many other progressive practitioners, I affirm that therapy/ counseling / coaching should offer something uniquely meaningful to each of our clients, if its going to be effective in your lives.
As do most mindfulness practitioners, I too affirm that our clients will greatly benefit from successfully meeting two universal guidelines:
1) Face up to your own Inner-Most Truth (about whatever concern it is that has caused you to be where you are now).
2) Authentically make peace with (keeping an untroubled spirit about) whatever it is that you're needing to face.
When we learn to tap into and ground in our unique Inner-Character Strengths to live in Authentic Truth with our self and others; [which often means continually reassessing & challenging the disabling beliefs we hold, the peace-killing ideas we may have about our selves and others] . . .
You will free your Self when
you learn to be neutral and
follow the instructions of your heart
without letting things perturb you . . .
This is the Way of Maat . . .
~ Kmt / Afrikan Spiritual Wisdom
When we're able to make peace with whatever we find there within us; then we will feel lighter, relieved, more contented and emotionally liberated . . . that's plain and simply said . . . SistahPeace(tm) . . .
And here at SistahPeace ReShaping WellBalance(tm) Services, we're mindfully aware that we can accelerate any sort of desired change, growth and genuine sense of lasting wellbeing, by assisting you to ReShape™ and actively strive to meet these two basic goals:
Seeking Authentic Truth [Maat] about; facing and making Peace with those disturbing/ troubling/ stuck or derailed areas of our lives.
This applies, whether you're;
During the course of our work together, you'll learn to develop and trust your intuitive insight and to affirmatively tap into your own uniquely SheInspired(tm) Inner Strengths, in order to successfully bring an authentic sense of SistahPeaceful WellBalance(tm) and peace of mind back into your life . . .
. . . Fruitful Explorations . . . !(tm)
Always Includes Mindfully Loving Your Self . . .

I am my mother's daughter,
and the drums of Africa still beat in my heart ...
~ AnSis Mary McLeod Bethune
About my womin-affirmative(tm) approach
My eclectic approach is also rooted in Cultural Liberation Psychology as well as Feminist Psychology ~ a post-modern psychological perspective, which affirms that the mental health and spirit-mind-body wellness of wimmin is apart and different from men, and therefore, cannot be effectively dealt with by applying standards of male-centered health to wimmin™.

which Character Inner-Strengths
I personally bring to our collaborative process . . .

*****
The time has finally arrived for a science that seeks to understand positive emotion, build strength and virtue, and provide guideposts for finding what Aristotle called the "good life."
Relieving the states of that which makes life miserable, it seems, has made building the states that make life worth living less a priority. But people want more than to just correct their weaknesses.
They want lives imbued with meaning, and not just to fidget until they die . . .
~ Martin Seligman, Founder of Positive Psychology

"AfraShe was so very caring, respectful and thoughtful.
When I first contacted her, I was unsure what was going to happen.
I was very overwhelmed and distraught.
It was her kind words and reassurances that guided me to take the necessary steps required to advocate for myself, and for my loved ones." ~ P. P.
It’s a sad day when you find out that it’s not accident or time or fortune but just yourself that kept things from you.
