Compassionate Support for Inner Growth
Compassionate Support for Inner Growth
We are a nonprofit organization that was conceptualized and created by Dr. Laura Artiles, an expert psychologist and counselor who wanted to help the local communities by assisting those with mental health and PTSD traumatic challenges.
Using faith-based strategies combined with her years of experience as a professional counselor, Dr. Artiles created a service delivery model that tackles the roots of these problems.
Dr. Artiles and her team of caring professionals are ready to help you overcome your mental health challenges.
Philosophy
Metamorphic Counseling International Corp. is an organization dedicated to treating psychological disorders from a faith-based perspective. The process of change and transformation may be painful, but it is necessary to achieve a life of purpose, stability, and happiness. The therapeutic perspective is to engage in a process of flying high. The negative responses to past experiences must be relieved. Experiences that leave people psychologically affected include major life losses, changes, illnesses, the loss of valuable material possessions and money, traumatic sexual and mental abuse as a child or adult, and exposure to traumatic natural disasters, wars, and situations that have caused intense fears, despair, confusion, and other psychological and spiritual damage to the individual. For many people, some of these life experiences may have left them suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, mainly military veterans.
We are organized for charitable and educational purposes, specifically to empower every member of the community to overcome the damages and challenges presented by PTSD and traumatic events through professional counseling and follow-up.
Vision:
Be recognized as an institution that provides psychotherapy, primarily focused on treating PTSD using faith-based principles.
Biblical Perspective
Romans 12:2
Do not conform any longer to the patterns of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then, you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is, His good, pleasing, and perfect will.
Dr. Artiles’ personal experiences, professional knowledge as a psychologist, and her spiritual growth in her Christian faith led her to create this counseling center with a holistic philosophy, following a structured treatment system called Metamorphosis.
At Metamorphic Counseling's Psychologist Practice webpage, we believe that every individual has the potential to achieve their goals and live a fulfilling life. Our licensed psychologists use evidence-based techniques to help you overcome self-doubt, anxiety, and other mental health challenges that may be holding you back. We offer counseling services for individuals, couples, and families. Our services are tailored to meet your unique needs and goals. We specialize in treating trauma, addiction, relationship issues, and other mental health concerns. Our goal is to empower you to take control of your life and achieve your goals.


This page does define a structured model.
The page explicitly states a structured process
It states the counseling system involves nine steps completed during treatment, with an individualized plan, psychotherapy interventions (explicitly mentions cognitive behavioral techniques, resilience-building), and also acknowledges possible psychiatric/medical support where needed.
It further states the approach is holistic integrating:
The nine stages (as listed on the page)
These appear as Stage 1 through Stage 9:
Stage 1: A decision to accept the process of metamorphosis
Stage 2: Accept life is meaningful; cannot remain stuck in fears, shame, denial
Stage 3: A better future exists; press forward with personal change without looking to the past
Stage 4: Disconnect negative emotions from irrational/negative thinking affecting feelings; reduce maladaptive behaviors/symptoms
Stage 5: Gain insight into personality/behavioral responses; address ineffective defense mechanisms and negative self-programming
Stage 6: “Parading shifts,” increase self-esteem/value of existence; disconnect from traumatic memories
Stage 7: Forgiving, healing, acceptance of God’s love; letting go to “become free to fly high”
Stage 8: Ready for a new journey to start in life
Stage 9: Feel complete/independent/confident; manage symptoms well or not experience them; plan for a better future
