"I specialize in working with relationships and individuals experiencing intimacy and sexual concerns.

Sex and relationship therapy is a safe place to talk about concerns, to get answers to your questions, and resolve specific issues."

"Do you feel at times like you are two people? One is an upstanding man that everyone sees and the other is this secret, hidden person no one knows? Do you feel hopeless to change who you are? The shame of an addiction keeps you in the cycle. The good news is you don't have to feel like this. There is hope. I specialize in helping men overcome compulsive porn surfing, affairs, sexual addictions, and trauma.

"Master Your Anxiety! Dr. Jody Kircher focuses on treating people with anxiety problems because she sees how often chronic worry and stress cause smart, capable people to see their worlds as small and dull. Anxiety can impair your social relationships through creating fears that you will be judged or rejected. It can get in the way of your work or academic success by causing problems like perfectionism and procrastination. Most harmful of all, anxiety can cause you to question whether you are good enough and erode your self-esteem."

"You know you're normally a person that can get things done. You used to be able to think clearly, but something happened and you're not yourself anymore. You may have felt like you should be over whatever "it" was by now. You've tried to be grateful, think positively, and tell yourself "I got this." Except deep down you know you don't "got it." Easy decisions aren't easy anymore, maybe you're having anger explode all too easily, or suffer panic attacks. In short: life has totally become overwhelming."

"After 30+ yrs. experience, I still love and feel privileged to do this work. I seek and welcome clients who are a "good match" for my skill and energy level. An initial telephone conversation is very helpful in determining this, as we can hear each other's voices, tone and inflection are noted, questions are answered. (My preference over email or text) I relate easily to most people and like to give feedback. As a seasoned professional, I work with adult individuals and couples, bringing authenticity, warmth, wisdom, practicality, humor, and natural intelligence to such issues as:"

"Open, respectful, and enthusiastic describe the therapy I provide. Many times people go through their daily lives on auto pilot, making decisions and doing things out of habit. This is a normal part of life, but problems arise when old habits no longer lead you where you want to go, especially in your relationships. Therapy is one way people can get back into the driver's seat of their lives, making conscious choices about which roads to take to what ultimate destination. Therapy can help by increasing self awareness, understanding how beliefs and thoughts lead to emotions and behaviors."

I help parents figure out good parenting time schedules for their children, work on their communication as co-parents, offer mediation services, and support parents in helping their children do well through the process.

"I am mom to 4 children; two of whom were adopted. Being a Mom is my most important role and it is what inspires me! I am passionate about helping families find their joy. I work with adopted children and their parents in a quest to find peace and joy in the family. As an adoptive parent, I get trauma. I see how kids are affected by early neglect, abuse and trauma.

Body image issues, self-esteem difficulties."

My clients become empowered to get their needs met, improve their lives and solve their problems, primarily through cognitive and behavioral techniques and psychoeducation.

My typical client seeks more effective coping skills, guidance through treatment for depression, other mood disorders, anxiety, grief, stress management, adjustment to divorce or other life changes, AD/HD, addictions; also workplace and parenting issues, and trauma victims."

"It can feel helpless to watch your teen struggle and not know how to get things turned around. You may be experiencing increased conflict in the family or your teen may be making poor choices.

It is such a joy to see teen's reactions as they have aha moments and learn to make better decisions in their life."
