My guest today is Essence Cohen Fields. Living and working just outside of Philadelphia, PA, Essence is a therapist, specializing in trauma release and boundary setting. Essence is dedicated to helping others heal from traumas, shore up resiliency, and boost confidence to face all that life presents. She skillfully guides her clients through experiences of abuse, anger management issues, work-life balance, self esteem concerns, parent-child relational issues, anxiety, grief and depression. Essence combines cognitive behavioral and solution focused counseling techniques, with EMDR, (eye movement desensitization reprocessing) and her motivational coaching approach. Essence’s logo is “FLY Counseling” the F-L-Y, stands for First Love Yourself and she cleverly uses fly as in helping people fly and soar into their potential as well as “to be fly”, in all that you do! She believes that to heal and have a positive impact in the world, we fist need to love ourselves. Essence cares deeply about bringing out the best in people and dreams of someday creating a holistic healing center in her community. Check out the links below to see Essence’s website, where you can find the therapeutic services she offers, a book that she published (a fun and easy read) called "A Lesson On How To F.L.Y", as well as her limited series podcast called “The F.L.Y.”, a podcast focused on developing insight into the importance of self love.
