Our Mission
At Belief Theory, our mission is to help individuals become free from the pains of their past and help parents and children regain a strong, emotionally healthy family. We seek to serve individuals and groups to reach these goals with a unique combination of Coaching and Art Therapy practices. Our hope is to empower clients to rewrite their pasts and cultivate communities with ultimate happiness and lasting peace of mind.
Our Goal
Emotional Freedom is not the absence of negative emotions but rather the ability to manage them effectively and live a life aligned with one's deepest values and aspirations.
Emotional Enlightenment focuses on gaining deep understanding and insight into one's emotions.
Emotional Mastery involves developing practical skills to regulate emotions effectively in various situations.
Emotional Harmony integrates insights and skills from emotional enlightenment and mastery into a balanced approach to emotional health.
