Your life is an ongoing journey and it's time to make yourself a priority. Are you not living the life you dreamed of? Or do you often feel frustrated that your relationships, home life, and career are less than satisfying? Have you ever wondered what is stopping you from feeling happier, more confident, and in control of your future? We live in a society so busy that we can barely hear ourselves think. Its rare that anyone feels truly heard and listened to. I can help you to learn to lead a more authentic, self-actualizing life that works for you. Perhaps you're looking to take steps towards healing, but are unsure where to start.

Both physical and mental self-care are integral parts of achieving balance and a sense of empowerment. I can help you to move forward in negotiating life’s challenges and achieving your aspirations. Fears about judgment from others can often prevent us from utilizing therapy as a means towards maximizing available self-care tools. Working collaboratively, let me help you take care of yourself and reach your personal goals.

I am a committed and compassionate therapist with a specialty in Eating Disorders although my practice is not limited to this issue.

Therapy can be a powerful force when one is ready and willing to bring about change and healing. As a therapist, I will work collaboratively with you to ensure that we identify and build on strengths, explore different pathways in managing challenges, and work on creating a more positive, and gratifying life.

I am rooted in psychodynamic psychotherapy however, I tailor my therapeutic treatments based on your individual needs.

Therapy is about helping you to reduce your pain and to replace your pain with strength. Therapy gives you an opportunity to find your way to overcoming the difficulties which have brought you to therapy. Many changes can then occur in your life as you expand your ability to problem solve and move toward living your life with more fulfillment and satisfaction.

At the heart of my practice, I embrace the guiding notion that we are all human beings before anything else.

Within a safe, collaborative, and respectful environment, I offer custom-tailored and evidence-based practices to fulfill each client's unique needs. Also, I believe that my clients are the real experts in determining how they are both feeling and functioning in their everyday lives.

I believe that the work of therapy is about developing a healthy relationship with oneself and with other people in the community in order to live a happy and meaningful life. It is about finding ways to live in balance and with integrity in what can be a complicated and difficult world that does not always make that easy. Often times we need a "tune up" in handling our emotions and developing better coping skills to approach new or different circumstances in life. This is what therapy is all about. Its creating an experience that enables you to be comfortable sharing in order to grow.

Life is complicated. Sometimes, in our ever-changing world, we may find that we would benefit from support in navigating and improving upon various dimensions of ourselves and our day-to-day life that can impact our functioning. I offer professional support in a warm, safe environment to assist you in garnering insight into your feelings, exploring your strengths, working towards goals, and finding needed answers.

I will be offering periodic updates. I hope that this will be helpful to you and familiarize you with my thinking. For divorcing parents: Make sure your children know you are divorcing each other and not them. Be dependable - visit when you say you will. Keep your children out of the middle - argue in private. Take your time introducing someone new or living with someone. When possible maintain connections with extended family. Work on yourself so you are the best parent you can be. Children take time to adjust. There may be a delay before they discover feelings about the divorce.

Hi, I'm Dr. Andreas Michaelides (Michael-eye-des), PhD. I am a practicing Psychologist and Chief of Psychology at Noom, which creates apps that help people make healthier lifestyle choices.

My practice focusses on helping caregivers, adults, and the elderly. Finding psychological care for seniors can be difficult. Finding support for caregivers can be just as hard.

I believe that everyone deserves to be seen/heard, and has the potential for growth. I am passionate about leading people through various transitions in their lives. Using a guided and empathetic approach, I'm ready to empower you through our sessions together, helping you overcome whatever is holding back your full potential - whether it's a mental health issue or general life stressor.
