Hi! I'm Richard V Dalke, MS
Transformative Counselor and EFT Coach

I grew up the 3rd oldest of 12 children. I viewed this as an opportunity to learn how to interact with lots of different kinds of people – a skill that has helped me in the counseling and coaching field. I’ve also worked at a lot of different kinds of jobs – taxi driver, truck driver, bus driver, wrangler on a dude ranch, ballroom dance instructor, salesman, hod carrier, counselor, coach, and now an EFT practitioner. All of these opportunities have also helped me relate to many different kinds of people as well as clients.

I have been very much interested in pursuing a spiritual path since my early 20's, starting out by reading and taking classes from a number of spiritual leaders and healers, including Edgar Cayce, Krishnamurti, Shakti Gawain, Lazaris, Wayne Dyer, Sandra Ingerman, Michael Harner, Donna Eden, Abraham-Hicks and many others. In my early 20’s I had an out-of-body experience where I met an angel. I was high for a week. You can read more about that experience on my blog page here.

I have been in the mental health field for a little over 35 years as a Masters level Counselor and Care Coordinator. I have been a Reiki healer for about 10 years (level II Reiki from the Usui lineage) and a student of the Abraham teachings for a little over 25 years. I am also an ordained minister in the Universal Life Church. I have completed my Clinical EFT Certification and am enrolled as a student to become a Clinically Certified Energy Psychology Practitioner.

Along the way, I have gone through a lot of grief and loss – losing my parents, grandparents, a grandson, 4 brothers, and my wife. These losses have helped me not only learn how to manage bereavement and grief, and work through the difficult emotions that come with these losses, they have also taught me that transformation is possible.

About two years ago, I ended up in the ER with systolic blood pressure over 200 from stress and high cholesterol. Since that time, using a number of modalities and resources, I now have blood pressure readings of 110/60. You can read more about that process on my blog page.

My intention is to help clients transform their lives from stress, struggle, anxiety and depression to one of hope, empowerment and enthusiasm.

A "PEACHIE" Session

I tell my clients before we begin the coaching process that my intention is to help facilitate a "Peachie" session. "PEACHIE" stands for Perceptive, Empowering, Accepting, Compassionate, Helpful, Inspiring and Energizing. The word "Peachie" itself means to bring delight to another person effortlessly.

Transformative Therapy specializing in EFT

Transformative therapy is aimed at helping clients learn how to live their lives with “inspired action,” rather than reactive action that comes from worry, stress, anxiety, and pressure. Inspired action flows from being connected to Source energy or our “Higher Self.” The techniques I use are primarily Mindfulness based – meditation, journaling, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques or "Tapping"), Reiki, Guided Imagery and deep breathing exercises. I also use several Abraham-Hicks exercises to help clients recognize what is their responsibility and what is their Higher Self's responsibility for manifesting their goals.

Rather than provide clients with the answers for their lives, I provide processes and exercises that help my clients find their own answers to what they are seeking. My aim is to help clients learn how to release the thoughts and patterns that block their progress and then provide them with exercises and methods that show them how to become more consistently connected to their Higher Self, in order to enhance their ability to achieve inspired action.

I have worked in the Mental Health field as a Master's level Counselor and Care Coordinator in diverse settings for over 35 years. Included with my training, I recently went through a year- long process to become Certified as a Clinical EFT Practitioner from EFT Universe. I have found that "Tapping" can be a much quicker and more efficient way to help my clients. I have also studied and practiced Shamanic Practitioner techniques, Reiki healing and the Abraham-Hicks methods.

I bring this wealth of diversified experience to my Transformative Therapy work as an insightful and compassionate counselor andI use these skills to help clients understand the mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of their lives.

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) or Tapping is a stress management technique often called “acupuncture without the needles.” By tapping on 8 to 12 common acupressure points along different body meridians, clients can often not only feel more relaxed, calm and focused, they are able to reduce or release long-held emotional pain from negative or traumatic events they have experienced.

Combining tapping on these acupressure points along with cognitive behavioral techniques (exposure therapy) can often help clients reduce physical, mental and emotional pain they have been experiencing from a recent event or from their past that is still impacting their lives in the present.

Clients often find relief from trauma, unwanted habits, cravings, grief, anxiety, depression, unfulfilled dreams, painful relationships, poor self-esteem, long held negative belief patterns and more. Even though clients are often surprised at how rapidly EFT can help them, they sometimes find that it might take several sessions to obtain all of the benefits they are seeking. Clients are also taught how to use EFT on their own, so they can feel empowered to manage their own anxiety and stress levels at home or at the office when they aren’t in a session with a coach or counselor.
