TBE stands for "The Butterfly Effect". The name was inspired by a meteorology study in the 1970's that hypothesized that the flapping of the wings of a  butterfly in one part of the country could have global impact on shifts in the weather. What Edward Lorenz had discovered, was that a very small change in initial conditions had created a significantly different outcome. This was a profession altering finding for the world of meteorology; and became the foundation for which TBE was formed. As "Transformation Agents" the belief that people have the capacity to learn, grow, and transform has to be one of the major driving forces of the therapeutic relationship.

​

Just as the small movements of the butterfly wings could have major impact on the weather; so it is in our own transformation journeys. Small, positive, consistent changes in our thoughts, behaviors, and actions; can yield sustainable positive results. The truth is there is no magic potion for transformation. Transformation/Change only happens when one is willing to explore and acknowledge the areas in life that have caused pain and behaviors that may previously served as a survival mechanism; but as time progressed evolved into self-destructive behavior patterns.

​

In short, change/transformation only happens when we are willing to and we actually do the work. TBE was formed to help people investigate what's not working; and partner with them on their journey to have their small positive life changes; yield BIG IMPACT!
