Therapists in 01002

Things that happened to us in childhood create how we see ourselves and how we show up in relationships. Whether through neglect or abuse, we give up on our feelings, needs, vulnerability, and human connection. And as a result, as adults we feel alone, anxious, or hopeless. I can help you claim what was not afforded to you while you were growing up. And live a life with vitality, flow, a sense of belonging, depth in relationship, and authentic aliveness. I have master level training to help you find personal freedom from the past and live your best days now. You can make shifts that are life changing and long term!

I offer individual psychotherapy to adults. I view therapy not only as a means to reduce emotional distress, but also as an approach to personal growth. I believe that therapy should not be a way of life. I therefore emphasize the acquisition of concrete skills (communication, emotion regulation) and offer solution-focused therapy, while also recognizing that some issues require longer-term work. I view therapy as a collaborative process of exploration. I bring to this process an attitude of compassionate curiosity and non-judgment. I also draw on my own bi-cultural experience - I was born and raised in Prague, Czech Republic.

Welcome to my practice of soul coaching and mentoring. Sometimes we reach a plateau in our lives where we have come a long way, feel a sense of accomplishment, but at the same time feel as though there's something essential missing in our lives. We have found a way to keep our heads above water, but treading water gets tedious and uninspiring. In my soul coaching sessions, you will learn how to connect with your life purpose, and how your greatest natural abilities can bring you fulfillment and a sense of wholeness.

We all encounter times in life when we just feel stuck and overwhelmed, sometimes unsure of why we feel this way and unable to move forward. Psychotherapy helps us to achieve a sense of well-being and make changes in our lives. My hope is to create a safe and supportive therapeutic environment, which will allow you to achieve personal growth. I utilize a combination of psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapies with components of mindfulness and solution-focused approaches. I work with adults of all ages and older adolescents.

Having a solid therapeutic relationship is essential to the success of your experience in therapy, and I am committed to creating a space in which you will feel safe, deeply heard and seen, and can be a collaborator in the therapeutic process. I believe in creating a mutual alliance built upon honesty, empathy, trust, and respect. Together, we will explore the challenges and obstacles you face, while identifying personal strengths and other resources that will help facilitate meaningful change and growth.

Are you feeling stuck, unhappy, fearful, lonely, angry, unsatisfied? You may know what's wrong and what you need, or maybe you just know you want to feel better. Perhaps you're struggling to stay on course to reach a particular goal, or trying to gain traction and confidence to be who you want to be. We all have our own story and temperament that shapes our reactions, decisions, confidence and ability to persevere. My approach involves offering a steady, inquisitive and skilled hand in sorting out problems and managing priorities given one's unique past, present and future.

You’re constantly procrastinating and feel dread about even the little things because it’s all too much. You spend your time doing everything for everyone else, while neglecting yourself and never feeling like you have done enough. You worry that the plates in the air will fall, and everyone will realize you are incapable and incompetent. You feel like you are failing at everything, when, in fact, you’re killing it. It feels like a hard life is your destiny because of the trauma in your past. You want to break the cycle of that generational trauma, but you don’t know where to start. Sound familiar?

I work with clients that experience relationship issues with partners, family, friends and at work. Helping individuals decrease the intensity of their anxiety and depression in therapy we explore options and choices for growth and resolving difficulties. The goal is to create clarity regarding better communication and how to assert their needs.

I am an IFS-trained psychotherapist and I offer individual psychotherapy utilizing this model of treatment. IFS therapy focuses on the parts of ourselves that need healing, and creates the ability to be more aware of the parts that influences our behavior(s). I see couples for various issues including difficulty communicating, the desire to improve the quality of their relationship, and to feel more emotionally connected with each other.

Do you wonder why you're not enjoying life more? Having relationships that feel secure and meet your needs? Do you wish for the life you imagine, if only you could understand what gets in the way, the patterns that have blocked you from living your best life as your best self? Challenges with mood, anxiety, and relationships are often symptoms of deeper struggles with self-worth, identity, life purpose, and belonging. Through compassionate exploration of your current difficulties and supportive development of new strategies, it is possible to find relief and a newfound sense of freedom and ease.

Pursuing therapy is an admirable step; it takes a lot of courage and energy. As such, I approach therapy with a respectful, accepting attitude. Whether working with an individual or entire family, I operate from the notion that everyone is doing their best, given their circumstances. I assume an active role in therapy: I quickly engage, listen deeply and reflect back. I will ask clarifying questions and offer interpretations.

Are you feeling stuck? What is getting in your way of having the life that you want? What is keeping you from being your best self? Using ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and other complementary therapies (Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and Positive Psychology) I can help you learn practical strategies to unhook from problematic thought patterns, to get out of your head, and to move forward in your life.

Finding a space where one can be honest and authentic doesn’t have to be difficult; allow me to guide you with compassion, authenticity and grace.

I want to be able help you create the self-love, self-worth, self-compassionate and self- trust in you again.

My work focuses on adults, especially men (28 yo+), who seek healing, growth and a better relationship with this stage of their life. They want more than mere symptom relief and book recommendations. They are tired of the fears and disconnection and unhelpful core beliefs. They want to love and connect more easily. They want a path forward. Our work together encourages action, engagement, creativity, and it aims to revive the joy of learning something new and useful. (website: www.chuckgenre.com)
