You may be looking for Don Boice.

Don Boice has a Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania and is licensed in New York as a Clinical Social Worker. He founded Boice Counseling in Irondequoit in 2007 after having had a private practice from 1999 to 2002. Over the past few decades, Don has counseled hundreds of individuals and couples. He specializes in couples counseling, divorce mediation, 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 also has a mini legal center where mediation clients can research their rights and the implications of their decisions so they can ask more informed questions when they seek out specialists. Don is a counselor and has no intention to practice law now or in the future, but to point people to look at the law themselves so they understand what their legal rights are. He will not tell people what decisions to make because that is up to you. 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. To prepare for mediation, he completed his master's degree, read 45+ books specific to mediation and attended 55 plus hours of mediation specific 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.

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. |
