About Unchained Life Services
Our Philosophy
At Unchained Life Services, we know you've got this, you have made it this far without us. Now that you are here, let us share your load and walk alongside you on your journey. We believe that God (whoever that may be to you) has asked us to bear one another's burdens. We provide a safe space for sharing all that ails you. The deep stuff that others may not be able to handle. As a narrative therapist we believe that each of us has a unique story; and our stories often reflect what we have come to believe about ourselves because of our experience with our family of origin and the world at large. Often these beliefs keep us in bondage and prevent us from experiencing life to it's fullest. We believe that the problems we struggle with are external to us and not who we are, and therefore can be overcome. We help our clients overcome their challenges by focusing on their strengths and helping them write new stories to live their lives out of.
We believe that everyone who is seeking mental health care should be able to receive quality mental health care no matter their station in life. Please contact us even if you are experiencing a financial difficulty and we will see what arrangements can be made.
We believe everyone has the potential to lead a fulfilling and meaningful life. Our counseling services are designed to help our clients unlock their potential and achieve their goals.
Our Services
We offer a wide range of counseling services to meet the unique needs of our clients, including individual counseling, couples counseling, family therapy, and group therapy and more. Our services are tailored to meet the unique needs of each of our clients. Some forms of group therapy may include craft, cinema, adventure (hiking and outdoor) therapy.

Positive Affirmations
What are positive affirmations? Positive Affirmations are simple phrases with a significant impact: Even simple phrases like "I am capable" or "I can trust my instincts" can work behind the scenes to craft a positive and empowering narrative about yourself that helps to boost resilience. They are positively loaded phrases or statements that are used to challenge unhelpful or negative (automatic negative) thoughts.
Positive Affirmations
Timelapse video about positive affirmations. What they are, who they are good for, how to create your own personalized positive affirmations and how they should be used. I like mine to be visual and in a positive affirmation book.
Making your Positive Affirmation book
To make this book you will need:
1 piece of decorative paper for the cover
2 pieces of chip board to make the cover stronger.
10 pieces of paper for the inside pages
(if using lightweight paper you can use 15 inside pages, only 10 for heavy papers or cardstock)
