Dr. Tambra Mola, MSW, ACSW and Na’Tasha McMurray, LMFT’s Philosophy is…
A philosophy of coaching, counseling, teaching, and parenting is founded on the following principles:
Embracing a growth-oriented mindset that fosters a love for continued learning and self-growth beyond a specific class, certification, or degree.
Inspiring curiosity, enhanced self-awareness, and the ability to acknowledge one’s personal biases, strengths, weaknesses, and “blind spots.”
Utilizing self-knowledge to enhance empathy and understanding and to develop goals for self-improvement in both professional/academic and personal arenas.
Cultivating the ability to truly “see” the individual in front of us, not just a label, problem, or diagnosis, and, the willingness to learn from them.
Promoting a mindful way of living and showing up in the world and being the creator of our destiny in order to be better “guides” for others.
Operating from a place of “exceptions” that allows the discovery of strengths that can be tapped into to create solutions unique to each individual, whether this individual is a client, athlete, student, or child.
We believe that we are the very best tools in our coaching, counseling, teaching, therapy, and/or parenting toolbox.
Therefore, to be the best coach, counselor, teacher, and parent that we can be requires us to actively engage in a continuing journey of self-discovery and educational inquiry. The goal of this journey is to enhance our self-awareness and keep building our knowledge and skill base. After all, we may be the only people in our clients’ lives capable of hearing AND holding their pain. This is a sacred honor and trust and should be treated so.
