About
Hi, I am Terri Mudge, a licensed professional counselor and a life coach. My passion is to empower people to connect to what really matters in life. Too often, we are pushed around by external forces, doing only what others expect of us. Or we are pushed around by our internal states, with struggles with anxiety, depression, or other stressors. I have a passion for helping people to push through some of these barriers to create the life they want. I help people to “Live Life on Purpose”.
I utilize a form of therapy called ACT, also known as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. This therapy uses mindfulness skills, helping people to stay connected to the present moment instead of being wrapped up in judgmental or painful thoughts about the past or worries about the future. It helps people to get more out of life, by gaining the skill of greater focus and connection with the current moment. So often, our lives are lived on auto-pilot, where we are influenced too much by other’s wants or even by our own emotional stresses. Instead, through increasing skills of mindful awareness, you can get more in touch with the things that matter most, like connecting with your spouse or children, doing meaningful work, caring for others, enjoying the simple pleasures of life. Another aspect of this approach is related to values, where you are encouraged to increase awareness of what is most important, and gaining skills in connecting more fully with those values.
I have worked in the counseling field for over 20 years. Working in a variety of settings, I have had experience in a residential drug treatment program. I have worked many years in community mental health, dealing with individuals, couples and families with a variety of issues.
I have a passion for sharing a message of hope. I want people to know that they are not alone, that they are not crazy or weak. And I want them to know that they don’t have to hide out from life.
