We all live in a world of stories...The meaning we attach to these stories become a template of how we feel about ourselves. The emotional outcome of this thinking can be depression, anxiety and at other times, happiness. What is the meaning of these stories? I believe facts bring us to knowledge, but stories lead us to wisdom. Therapy is a creative and supportive process of getting to know your true self, of re-authoring the old story and writing a new one. Discover who you are... apart from the problem, and find an unexpected path to build inner strength and resources.

My journey into the mental health field was ignited by witnessing the struggles faced by my loved ones, which were exacerbated due to a lack of adequate support. I strive to be that missing support and foster an environment where individuals can leverage their strengths and tap into newly developed coping skills. I've also been motivated by the noticeable absence of Armenian-speaking clinicians. These experiences have granted me valuable insights into supporting individuals grappling with significant life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, and various other challenges. I aim to have a meaningful impact on diverse communities.

I think Leo McGarry says it best in an episode of The West Wing - A doctor passes by & the guy shouts up, "Hey you! Can you help me out?" The doctor writes a prescription, throws it down in the hole, & moves on. Then a priest comes along & the guy shouts up, "Father, I'm down in this hole; can you help me out?" The priest writes out a prayer, throws it down in the hole, & moves on. Then a friend walks by. "Hey, Joe, it's me. Can ya help me out?" The friend jumps in the hole. Our guy says, "Are ya stupid? Now we're both down here." The friend says, "Yeah, but I've been down here before & I know the way out."

Therapy can be about managing difficult emotions and situations in our lives, and it can also mean discovering who you really are, getting to know yourself on a deeper level, layer by layer. The more you know yourself, the more you can navigate life in a way that’s aligned with your values and your soul’s purpose. However, to really love ourselves, we can attempt to love all of our parts. So perhaps we can find some space to turn towards anger or sadness with love and compassion and we can give these parts the opportunity to heal and harmonize with our core selves.

Humanistic Therapists

How does humanistic therapy work?

One tenet of humanistic therapy is that people are good. The humanistic approach is concerned with a person’s ability to accept oneself. It likewise encourages a person to overcome self-criticism and self-defeating tendencies, as well as disapproval from others. This approach also emphasizes self-actualization and treating an individual as a whole person. A foundation of this therapy type: The patient is the expert in their life, and treatment often takes the individual’s lead.

Is humanistic therapy evidence-based?

Humanistic therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has found that humanistic therapy can lead to significant improvement, and for some people it can be just as effective as other therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy. The benefits of humanistic therapy are enduring.

How long does humanistic therapy last?

The goal of humanistic therapy is to understand a person’s day-to-day experiences. While sessions can be short-term and last over a few months, therapy can sometimes continue beyond that and last up to a year or more. And because patients learn the theory behind humanistic therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.

Is humanistic therapy effective?

According to research, many patients find success with humanistic therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in addressing poor self-esteem and self-sabotage, as well as improving conditions including anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can be long standing, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve learned during treatment.
