Most health programs focus on your behaviors--what you do. These programs will tell you to eat this and not eat that, to exercise, to get good sleep, to drink only in moderation, etc. That's fine, as long as you keep doing the behaviors, because behaviors (not just thinking that you should do something) get the job done. However, healthy behaviors continue only as long as you have an outside force or motivation (health coach, peer group, reward system) that maintains the behavior. When the outside motivator goes away, the behaviors almost always stop. You need something more if you want to make life-long habits for good health.

Health Counseling of Lancaster recognizes the importance of healthy behaviors, but our services focus on developing the core identity of a healthy individual, and we use that identity to create the healthy habits that will seem natural to you. You will do what's good for you because it has become your inner nature to do so. Our clients learn to avoid relapse by incorporating coping mechanisms that overcome the stresses that so frequently end good intentions. We are only interested in installing permanent healthy changes that you will maintain from your own renewed sense of self.
