About Robert Kraft
He aims to help people bring forth their best and embraces the adage "When you are ready for the next step, you will approach that step." In practice he frames his role as helping clients become the person they want to be, guiding them through both self-exploration and the gradual steps needed to try new behaviors when they feel ready.
His approach to change combines thoughtful inquiry and practical reflection. As clients describe their situations, he might ask questions such as, "How have you previously approached similar challenges?" or "What worked and what did not work?" These questions are intended to identify patterns, highlight strengths, and clarify options for improving the likelihood of success.
When clients express self-limiting beliefs, he may encourage replacing those messages with more appreciative and optimistic statements about personal worth and ability, suggesting alternatives like "I am worthy" or "I am good at ________." If a client doubts those statements, he may invite them to explain how they reached that conclusion, or he may simply sit with them in support while they tap into their own strengths. Throughout the process he listens carefully, reflects what he hears, and offers perspective to help clients put the pieces together and move forward.
