About Blue Buddha Counseling
Hello, I'm Jaye Bahre, and I am the creator of Blue Buddha Counseling. Blue Buddha Counseling was constructed during the beginning of striking out into private practice. While I am working with another couple of private practitioners, my private practice needed an online presence all my own.
​
At Blue Buddha Counseling, the focus is on Mindfulness and learning Mindfulness skills to ease depression, anxiety, out of control emotions, grief & loss, life transitions. LGBTQ issues and effects of trauma. The counseling here is about opening and listening to the spirit and knowing that the Universe holds us all within her hands... gently but firmly.

"All experiences are preceded by mind, having mind as their master, created by mind.
​
What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: Our life is the creation of our mind.
​
The external world is only a manifestation of the activities of the mind itself, and the mind grasps it as an external world simply because of its habit of discrimination and false-reasoning. The disciple must get into the habit of looking at things truthfully.
​
We are formed and molded by our thoughts. Those whose minds are shaped by selfless thoughts give joy when they speak or act. Joy follows them like a shadow that never leaves them. "

My Philosophy
My philosophy as a counselor is that everyone is exactly where they need to be in life, within themselves and along our path. We all learn at different paces, we all need different things at different times of life. We are the culmination of all our thoughts, our choices, our opportunities and our life lessons absorbed by our spirit. The Universe brings to our soul the lessons it needs at the precise moment the lesson is needed. We cannot be any more forward nor backward than our God has placed us.
My job with you is to take your hand and comfort you, perhaps facilitate your learning process. I am here to help you process your lessons, to mine them for the message with you and to give you much needed perspective. Ultimately YOU know what to do... moving forward can either be your salvation and your cross ... which will you choose?
