Mission Statement

To realize our mission we are aligned with the following guiding principals:

Basic Beliefs and Premises of CBE:

1. The ultimate authority is yourself; you are in charge of your life. Your own decisions are the best ones for you.
2. Anything is possible. We are capable of more than we think or are taught to believe.
3. Self love and appreciation is basic and essential for lasting change.
4. Change can be easy, fun and pleasurable.
5. The only person you can truly change is yourself.
6. Each person has brilliantly created his / her existence – and his or her situations. There is nothing ‘wrong’ or stupid about how you have survived. Nothing is terrible or catastrophic; everything is moving from a desired state to a more desirable state; you always go from good to better.
7. About past errors: You did the best you could at the time - according to what you knew and believed at the time.
8. People are basically good. Every person has dignity and worth.
9. Each person is unique.
10. There is no profit in denying any basic essential part or aspect of ourselves. If a basic need or innate talent or essential truth is denied, it will find a way to surface to be recognized and expressed. (Basic part: any aspect of your essential human / genetic makeup i.e. mental, emotional, physical, spiritual; and basic needs such as recognition, identity, survival, independence, to love and be loved, sexuality, creativity, self expression, etc.)
11. Under any troublesome symptom is positive potential.
12. Everything we do, we do for a reason and there is a perceived benefit for doing it.
13. Every symptom or manifestation has a mental, emotional, physical, spiritual aspect.
14. The intelligence of your emotions is meant to complement and work with the intelligence of your intellect.
15. Coping is useful yet it is not the ultimate solution.
16. Other people’s opinions, feelings, and expression are information about them.
17. Psychotherapy that leaves out spiritual concerns is incomplete. God, spirituality, ethics, and values are also accessed from within.
18. Mental Health is a dynamic process where the subconscious mind interacts synergistically with the conscious mind to experience, learn, communicate, create, grow and fulfill choice with maximum effectiveness and well being for self and others.
19. Any worthwhile therapy helps a person become more him/herself.
20. The Unknown is an exciting adventure. You are free to perceive and build what you want.
21. Every ability we have is useful and valuable in some way.
22. Every person deserves to have as much happiness, personal freedom and fulfillment, wealth, and peace of mind as he/she can create or manifest.
