Philosophical Counseling Services — New Availability with Monica Vilhauer

Philosophical Counseling Services — New Availability!

2/11/2022

Dear Curious Souls,

As we make our way into 2022 and our world still feels upside down, I know that people are really struggling. To respond, I’m expanding my philosophical counseling practice to provide unique ways to address feelings of disorientation and powerlessness.

Do you or people you care about:

Wonder if your old priorities and goals really make sense anymore?
Feel that the institutions where you work or study are broken, and that the attempt to function in dysfunctional systems is futile?
Feel frustrated that old methods of coping aren’t working anymore?
Feel lost and unsure about how to carve out your own authentic path?

Through philosophical counseling we can examine your values and explore practical changes that can bring more meaning, purpose, empowerment, and fulfillment to your life.

Philosophical counseling is different from psychotherapy in that it focuses on difficulties of the human condition — like the search for meaning, dealing with ethical dilemmas, and finding ways to claim your freedom in a world of external pressures and expectations — rather than on mental illness or behavioral disorders.

As hard as times of crisis can be, they are also a great opportunity to examine your life, get clear about what really matters to you, and get creative in making a better path for yourself.

The rates for philosophical counseling are on a sliding scale, and I have a special discounted rate for students to make counseling as accessible as I can. I recommend starting with three sessions, then pausing to take stock together to see what level of support you’d like going forward.

What Our Clients Are Saying

"Monica meets you on every level: She’ll readily engage with any abstract ideas you have about the world or the self, and analyze those ideas with you, but she also has a way of making you feel that she viscerally understands the difficulty of the situations you’re describing. When I talk to her, I have the feeling that I’m talking to someone who is very present, who is on my side, and who has also fought to be able to live her own life on her terms."

"Conversations with Monica feel non-hierarchical. She is working through the questions with you, not diagnosing you or analyzing you."

"I get the sense that philosophical counseling for Monica is an extension of who she is. These difficult topics are a part of her own life, and she is comfortable talking about what is uncomfortable."
