This hour I tell things in confidence, I might not tell everybody but i will tell you.
— Walt Whitman, Song of Myself
Adult & Couples
How does one define an adult? One marker of adulthood is taking responsibity for your life and for changes you want to see personally and in the world. Another marker of adulthood is knowing your patterns -- and recognizing when you are falling into out-dated thinking and behaviors or re-living the same kinds of relationships.
The people that come to Sustainable Self are healthy individuals--all are gifted in some way--who are working on improving their lives. Thomas Doherty also helps a diverse range of couples who are seeking to improve their communications, resolve issues, or take on a new shared identity such as being married or becoming parents.
"I first learned the concept of non-violence in my marriage."
— Mahatma Gandhi
Living in harmony with yourself and the world
A special focus of my work is recognizing and honoring our human relationship with the natural world and the planet. While this is not a requirement for working with me, my experience is that for many people, their relationship to the natural environment and their outdoor activities are an important part of their identity and well-being. I also believe in empowering people to contribute to the health of their community. Thus, I make a place in my individual, couples and group work to talk about these important issues. - Thomas Doherty
