Temperament Therapist

 Many people view temperaments as personality traits or human behavior or just "blank slates." Some theories propagate the beliefs that we are who we are by the direct results of learned behavior.  This worldview eliminates the biggest influence of them all - that is, God.  It gives Him no voice in the equation.
 

My understanding of people is that they are influenced by environment and life circumstances - but these are not the sole determining factors.
 

Lots of other people see temperament as something that needs to change in others in order for us to be happy.
 

Instead we need to understand the characteristics, actions and needs of each type of temperament.  In doing so, results will bring forth healthy relationships with our loved ones and our friends and acquaintances.
 

The temperament assessment, which is 95.7% accurate, measures the mind, will and emotions.  There are five different temperaments; Melancholy, Choleric, Sanguine, Supine and Phlegmatic.  Rarely is a person just one temperament.  Instead there are various blends that makeup the whole person.
 

Each has strength and growth areas as well as certain needs that must be met.  One thing is true of all of them – people need people.  People of all temperament types need others in order to be totally fulfilled and mentally healthy.  We need others for conversation, association, encouragement, and to give and receive love, affection, recognition and approval.
 

I utilize temperament therapy to assist my clients in dealing with issues such as depression, abuse, judgments and vows, unresolved anger and forgiveness, addictions, disordered eating, stress, marital and premarital counseling, and the full gamete of other concerns faced by people today.
 

It is my hope as a Temperament Therapist to help others learn more about who they are and how God made them, teaching them to overcome their fears and weaknesses and to focus on their strengths.  Temperament therapy gives my clients understanding about how they are fashioned by God.
