Kroner and Associates Counseling runs on a particular set of values. Alone, these values are neither original or unique. Together, however, they provide for a very special outpatient practice that emphasizes the individuality of clients. Those values are as follows:

1. We don’t help you. You help you. You are your own agent of change. We are privileged if you decide to allow us to go on your journey with you and we appreciate any kind words you provide. However, at the end of the day you are the one who goes home and implements a plan you created to accomplish your goals. Pat yourself on the back, because you accomplished more than we ever could. Give yourself the credit that you are due.

2. Quality therapy is more important than almost anything else. Doing therapy to a specific minute or making you follow some predetermined framework is not genuine to us. We pride ourselves on providing a quality services that gets results.

3. They are YOUR goals. We can’t tell you the answers to the universe or the absolute best way to solve any problem. We can talk you through options, explore how those things impact you, identify how you got where you are, and help educate and teach you skills. But we don’t tell you what you are working on. Your treatment is significantly more important than our thoughts/views.

4. You are not broken. Human beings are one of the most resilient things in this world. You are down. Times are tough. You may have even given up a time or two. But you are not broken. You are exactly the person you need to be to become the person you are meant to be in the future.

5. If you don’t have HOPE, you don’t have anything. If you are struggling with that right now, let us be it for you until you can find it again.

6. We don’t care where you find help. It is impossible to be all things to all people. For you, and for us. Sometimes we are not the right fit. That is OK! If we aren’t, tell us, and we will help you find the right fit. We don’t have some crazy pride saying we can help everyone with every problem in every circumstance. We want you to find answers, solutions, hope, and a path forward. It’s ok if that isn’t us.

7. Therapy should be time limited. If you want to set aside time every week for the rest of your life, we will happily schedule you. Just need to vent or to schedule us as a part of your self care? Cool. But in general, we want to listen, assess, and assist you in normalizing what is wrong and making changes to improve where you are. At that point it is completely ok for you to return to your life as scheduled. ‍

8. Believe it or not, you already have the answers. We want to assist you in uncovering them.

9. YOU ARE NOT YOUR DIAGNOSIS! Sorry if we seem like we are yelling. We kind of are.

10. Your history does not need to be your destiny. You are at an age and stage in life where you are old enough to change or go in a different direction if you want to. No matter where you have been, it doesn’t mean that is where you have to go. Give yourself permission to move forward.
