Life's challenges are either changeable or unchangeable. The empowered individual has a stable platform for initiating his or her own personal change. Without this stability there can be a continuous struggle to discern the difference between what can and can not be changed often leading to feelings of powerlessness, hopelessness, and helplessness.
Empowerment fosters a starting point for taking new action, which applied consistently, can produce emotional change as well. The clinical staff at Consultant Services believes that the family, as well as the business arena, offer significant opportunities for empowered individuals to express themselves in positive and meaningful ways.

The philosophy at Consultant Services holds that an individual can not feel his or her way to new behavior. That is, it is unrealistic to postpone taking action while waiting until the emotions are there to support it.
- Instead, the key is to act now and trust that the appropriate feelings will follow suit.
- Empowered individuals are compelled to act because they have decided to trust in themselves.
- Empowerment enables the momentum for this new action.
- New actions then promote new emotions.
