WELCOME
Do you need someone who understands how hard it can be to ask for help; someone who will protect your children and your money, not let anyone take advantage, work hard to keep you in control of your decisions (not the courts, who don't know you) not take sides; someone who will listen and offer practical suggestions; someone who doesn't want you dependent? You may be looking for Don Boice.
He's the go to guy for resolving hostile conflict. You can have disagreements and be respectful, where both walk away with their dignity intact. Don Boice has a Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania, took multiple years of Couples workshops at Harvard Continuing Education and is licensed in New York as a Clinical Social Worker. He uses the insights from many different researchers and most frequently uses John Gottman, PhD. Very research based, practical, immediately applicable and he gives handouts to help you take the information with you. He founded Boice Counseling in Irondequoit in 2007 after having had a private practice from 1999 to 2002 and working in different agencies. Over the past few decades, Don has counseled hundreds of individuals and couples. He specializes in couples, understanding gender communication and creating an environment where both women and men feel comfortable to resolve their differences. He's adept at helping people with a variety of issues including anger, conflict resolution, anxiety. Don's first book, entitled Top Notch Couples - The First Five Skills, provides understanding and practical advice to readers. He also wrote one dealing with the person who cheated, in an affair. His third book was a workbook for people with anxiety. He has also created multiple CDs from: Get the Spark Back, Anxiety Exercises, Contemplating Divorce, Anger Management. He loves what he does and his purpose is to alleviate suffering wherever it occurs. "Suffering is optional, pain is not." Toward that end, Don is a voracious reader and consumer of information, always going to training. Since he started counseling in 1989, he has worked with people in conflict and found ways to help them have good, productive, efficient, less toxic arguments. *The "R" beside Don's name indicates that he accepts most insurance plans for counseling issues that have medical necessity, including depression and anxiety.

Create a New Life Story Sometimes you feel stuck in a continual loop telling the same old story -- trapped by circumstances or a challenge that is getting in the way of productivity in life, relationships, or work. Through a process of self reflection and honest insight, you will align with your highest good, identify patterns that no longer serve you, affirm your worth, and build strength & self love. From this stance, you can zero in on what feels good and makes you happy. By determining your heart's deepest desires, you will discover how to fulfill these through your own thoughts and inspired action and stop getting in your own way. Wipe the slate clean and start fresh -- write a new story where you "do what you love and love what you do". Kristin guides this process using a balanced, caring, and gentle approach, including straightforward confrontation and humor, as needed. Call Michelle, our Office Manager at 585.544.5342 today to schedule an appointment. |
