"Alone, terrified, and worried that your life will never change? Ready for a change but apprehensive about the process? Sometimes getting help extends beyond family/friends. Addiction counseling includes addressing co-existing issues such as family, relationships, employment, education, spirituality, physical/mental health and legal concerns. Healing and growth begins with a collaborative, compassionate, yet direct approach to change. I walk with you as you work to gain self-awareness, self-esteem, and empowerment. I assist clients in finding hidden strengths, so they can overcome their challenges. My specialty includes addictions, co-occurring disorders - depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger, etc."

"I work primarily with adult individuals and couples who seek greater depth in their lives or relationships. In practice since 1987, I have considerable experience in a range of concerns: midlife and professional challenges; illness, loss, and grief; retirement; relationships and sexuality; LGBT concerns; dreams -- and more. My practice is diverse in many ways but the common denominator is desire for growth and change, and a willingness to work together to achieve it.

"In a word, my approach to therapy is relational. I am at my best when I am centered, curious and genuinely engaged in my client's experience... exploring, nuancing and understanding their unique perspective and the struggles they are facing. I believe in the importance of finding the right "fit" between client and therapist and it is for that reason that I strive to be authentic and fully engaged in every session. My training, areas of specialization and personal style are well suited for those who might be seeking to go deeper in their understanding of themselves and their relationships."

"Falling apart? Stuck? At a crossroads? I can help. We start where you are, and map out a path to where you want to be, tackling the obstacles standing in the way of your thriving. My techniques include EMDR and Somatic Experiencing, research-backed therapies that often work for people who have made slow or no progress with other therapies. I'm also trained in somatic touch, which can accelerate your progress if you choose to use touch. My goal is to get you back to your best life as quickly as possible!"

"I believe that life is a journey, full of joys and disappointments, successes and setbacks. While the extent and nature of my interventions may vary, I strongly believe that all people possess the personal strength and the means to improve their own lives if provided with the necessary guidance and support."

"There are situations and events in life that are challenging and that can create anxiety and depression. The coping strategies that have helped during troubling times may no longer work. Through these experiences, it is easy to lose a sense of identity and self esteem. There is hope. It is an honor to assists clients with turning their pain into growth. Through my compassionate support and skills, I can accompany you into the journey of becoming a healthier and happier person. My goal is to provide high quality, individualized and evidence based treatment to each client."

"I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Ordained Minister of the United Church of Christ. I am also certified as a Sexual Addictions Therapist and Therapist Supervisor through the International Institute for Trauma and Addictions Professionals."

"I assume you're here because you're struggling in some way, and that whatever you've been doing in your life to deal with your pain simply isn't working any longer. My clients usually find me through some kind of loss - a divorce or relationship upset, an illness or other transitional experience, often accompanied by difficult feelings and behaviors. For more than 10 years I've been working with individuals, couples and families, helping them to get in touch with their feelings and emotions, related to these painful experiences."

"Whatever circumstances you may be facing, I am here to walk with you through it. It is my desire to help you live a healthier, more fulfilling life. I specialize in anxiety, depression, traumatic experiences, self-esteem/identity issues, life transitions, and women's issues. I provide a safe space for individuals to develop personal insight and awareness into the unique parts that make up their entire being. I am passionate about traveling with clients on their personal life path and empowering people to flourish."

"Do you feel stressed? Do you feel overwhelmed? Do you find it difficult making decisions? I provide a safe environment to talk about what's keeping you stuck and to help make the changes necessary in order to move forward. I enjoy supporting people during difficult times and empowering women of all ages. While we work through life challenges, the therapeutic relationship can bring hope and healing and the possibility of deeper satisfaction in all relationships. I delight in sharing the individual journeys of my clients, watching them grow personally, professionally, & spiritually, and achieving increased authenticity, emotional health, and wellness."

"As a professional, and a parent I truly understand there is no greater joy than seeing your child happy and healthy. I also know there is no greater heartache than seeing your child unhappy. For adults: stress, anxiety, and depression can diminish time with families. For children: poor self-esteem, decreased confidence, bullying/ loss, academic struggles or a disability can impact friendships,family, and academics. I specialize in working with people who have experienced a twist in life that they were not expecting. I have 25 years of treating adults and children who want to reclaim control of their lives."

"Welcome to my profile. Finding the "RIGHT" therapist can feel like a real challenge for most people. I am a Holistic Psychotherapist in private practice since 1986. My healing approach is dependent on the needs of each individual client. The areas of special interest to me are spirituality, relationship and self-esteem issues, depression, anxiety, addictions and co-dependency, loss and grief, trauma, dissociation, (not necessarily in that order). I also offer group therapy, and have facilitated groups dealing with the aging process, self esteem/relationship issues, co-dependency, spirituality, grief/loss, and depression."

"Currently I work primarily with youth and families, adults and both established and premarital couples. I am certified to administer the PREPARE-ENRICH premarital counseling program, and have experience working with issues associated with abuse/trauma, anger, anxiety, depression, grief, family and parenting challenges, marital issues (communication, conflict resolution, intimacy issues, etc.), self Image/identity, life transitions, spirituality, and men's issues. I also have experience working with the unique challenges that often accompany engagement in full-time ministry and/or spiritual leadership in various capacities."

"I'm excited to say that I recently added EMDR to my therapist toolbox! In addition to the "classic" CBT, DBT and Motivational Interviewing, I decided that my practice with clients needed an upgrade and EMDR is an experience I am pleased to offer my clients that struggle with trauma, addictions or are just feeling "stuck" with traditional talk therapy. EMDR is a method of therapy that strengthens my desire to meet clients where they are at and work on the issues my client wants to address."

"Using a holistic approach, I aim to assist the client who seeks body, mind, spirit balance and a desire to live more fully in their moments. Whether seeking help for wellness, transition, anxiety, spirituality, and/or addiction, together sessions will help the individual gain hope and understanding to help resolve issue(s) and move toward finding purpose and meaning in life."

"Are you longing for change or wondering if there is more to life than what you are currently experiencing? I invite you into a deeper awareness of your own journey so you can live in healthy, loving relationships and experience personal growth. This journey may take hard work, sincere grief, and hopefully many joyful belly laughs; until you can create a life that you are the author of. Ultimately, I believe you will find me safe, warm, authentic, and profoundly compassionate."

"Brian has been in the addiction/mental health field since 1993. He has been described as practical, realistic, and down-to-earth therapist who is naturally inquisitive and goal oriented. He brings his warm and light hearted sense of humor to the therapy process, as he has learned that the best way to lead a person toward wellbeing and happiness is to make the psychotherapy process relaxed, enjoyable and non-judgmental. But when necessary, Brian has a serious side, as addictions are for many, can be a life or death problem."

"Whether you're a man trying to pick up the pieces of your life and move forward or a couple trying to hold the relationship together because of built-up resentments and hurt, know that you're not alone. We all have wounds that hold us back from feeling whole and being close to the ones we love. I get it. This is hard. Life has a way of knocking us around so much that you may have wondered when your relationships will feel meaningful and enjoyable again. I’ve spent my career helping men and couples through tough times in their lives."

"I specialize in divorce issues, both in families with high amounts of conflict as well as for parents who simply wish for their children and themselves to have support during this difficult transition. In addition, I have a strong background in attachment theory, and I specialize in attachment issues in children and adults and address the various challenges clients face in their current relationships. I also see individual children, adolescents and adults facing challenges related to life stressors, anxiety and depression. For those clients with trauma, I use EMDR to allow clients to process and free themselves from traumatic memories."
