Stable Awakening

The services to be provided by me, Daniel Shkolnik, to you, the client, are in-person or online sessions, as agreed jointly. During these sessions and throughout the working relationship, I will engage in direct and personal conversations with you. The services provided may address specific personal life struggles, spiritual issues, or general conditions in your life. Other services may include consulting with you to create a self-designed self-help or spiritual practice. Additionally, you may be asked to reflect on difficult topics or situations which may result in an expression of emotions.

​

The services I offer are meant to help you identify the areas in your life and in your thinking that may be standing in your way. However, my services are not professional mental health care or medical care. If you feel psychologically stressed to the point that it is interfering with your ability to function, seek the help you need in the form of a professional counselor.

​

Everything I say is a suggestion. You should use your own judgement whether it is, or is not, appropriate for you to follow my guidance in any given instance.

​

You are very much encouraged to talk more with me as to receive a better understanding of these services and how to get the most out of them.

​

By agreeing to receive services from me, you confirm that you have read and agreed to each statement and that you wish to proceed.
