Finding Hope
By Maggie Dulcio, LMHC, CAP
A new journey is often challenged by hesitation, fear or anxiety; conversely, there are occasions when there is some excitement with the idea of a new undertaking. To say the least, I am experiencing some enthusiasm and some hesitancy with starting this blog. Writing a blog has always been a desire of mine, though fear of taking that initial step had held me back. I think the therapist in me challenged me to face my fear and here we are, viewer to the writing of my first blog entry. Part of the reason I’ve wanted to start a blog is to help inspire and guide others. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MY WORK HAS BEEN DEVOTED TO HELPING OTHERS FIND HOPE. I truly believe that people can live fulfilled lives no matter the circumstances as long as they have HOPE.
My story began as a little girl who grew up in an impoverished country and did not get to meet her biological mother until the age of 10 years old. I remember finding and holding on to HOPE. That HOPE helped me to accept my situation, live and appreciate what I had, endure hardships and believe that my current struggles were temporary.
I have been providing people with individual, family and group counseling. Parenting for divorcing parents is also provided at Oasis Counseling, LLC. In counseling, people have to feel comfortable to know that they can be themselves to open up and share their issues. I believe in a counseling environment where individuals don’t feel they are being judged. People come to counseling seeking guidance and looking to find HOPE.
I’ve helped people going through a divorce or separation of an intimate relationship. Divorce is a painful event, having small children while going through a divorce complicates matter. In the parenting course that I teach, the focus is on helping people process the effects of the divorce and help parents place their children’s best interest at the forefront when developing a parenting plan. Co-parenting is not easy but it does not have to be a nightmare. There is HOPE.
In my years of counseling, I’ve come to realize that emotional, physical and financial health are interconnected. I’ve seen so many people struggle with depression and anxiety because of lack of adequate financial means. When people stress about money, they can develop emotional and physical problems. Stress is often referred to as a silent killer. People often need to find HOPE. My work entails helping others find HOPE. Finding hope is crucial, it’s the beginning of the journey. It’s just as important to help people find solutions to their problems! That is the reason I’ve partnered with a company that offer real solutions to people while offering hope. That company is often referred to as the “Moringa Company”. Moringa Oleifera has been used for centuries to nourish and improve physical and mental wellness. Moringa offers over ninety (90) verifiable nutrients, over forty (40) antioxidants, strengthen the immune system and promotes mental clarity to name a few of its benefits. Moringa has also been used to purify water. Many people in the western world are not familiar with Moringa. This company uses the best practice in the business to harvest the Moringa plant and they have a propriety blend that they market. Additionally, this company has leveraged the power of network marketing to help individuals generate a source of income. For additional information visit: www.dulciomagdala.myzija.com.
