C3 Institute, LLC is a counseling and consulting practice focusing on empowering self and relationships through Ecosystemic & Postmodern Inquiry. 

C3 Institute's counseling and consulting practice, informed by  ecosystemic  philosophy, is based on the inherent value of all life. Ecosystemic philosophy engenders a deep, broad,  empathic and integrative  understanding  of  the  uniqueness  of clients'  worldviews, backgrounds, environments, languages,  and  belief  systems.  Ecosystemic  practice  is  based  on  respect  for individual, familial,  organizational  and  cultural  differences.  Ecological, systems, contextual, dialectical and postmodern thinking, as well as depth psychology,  influence and shape C3 Institute's  practice  to  help  clients  achieve  fluid  ways  of  perceiving,  thinking,  feeling, behaving  and  relating. These diverse  philosophies -- collectively  called  Ecosystemic -- are  integrative  of  clients’ multisystemic realities, and  attempt to be transpersonal and transcultural in approach.

Multisystemic realities experienced in the ecosystem are constructed by self-observing and self-organizing members of society (e.g., individuals, families, groups, agencies, institutions, politicians, etc.),  and by the ecosystem  itself as a dynamic and complex ground to occupy, thrive, grow, transform, or self-destruct. The objective of my practice is to facilitate practical insights or meaningful interpretation(s) that are transformative for my clients and are beneficial to them, their relationships, and the ecosystem. The client-consultant interaction  is  dynamic, creative, dialectic, collaborative, and works toward a  synergistic interaction and an interdependent relationship. Ecosystemic thinking and practice emerges from a  belief in the inherent value and  interdependence of all forms of being and reality. Thus, emphasis  is  on creative  interactions  rather  than on techniques. 
 
Ecosystemic philosophy encourages a fundamental shift in (1)  the way we think about our relationship with our environment and each other, (2)  the way we experience nature and one another, (3) the way we relate to nature and each other, (4) the way we treat our environment and one another, and (5) how we respond to our  environmental needs, crisis, and one another. As an Ecosystemic agency, C3 Institute is committed to: minimizing and whenever possible preventing any destructive interference with the rest of the natural world and human relationships; restoring the diversity and complexities of our ecosystems, including human communities; upholding the inherent value of all life; teaching of reverence for our habitat (earth) and relationships; and encouraging a heliocentric thinking with regards to relational practice among ourselves (i.e., we are all citizens of the earth, dependent on the sun's energy, and are related to one another).
