Therapy works. Emotional relief is possible. Changing your life is possible. It takes hard work, dedication, and support from someone who really cares. That's what I offer. I believe that in looking at how we relate to others and ourselves both now and throughout our lives up until this point, we can come to a greater understanding of ourselves and therefore can change. I cater my approach to the individual, couple, family, or group as I get to know you and your needs. When appropriate, I also use dream analysis, meditation, play therapy, and art therapy.

I spent 15+ years in the entertainment business and thus have a unique understanding of the inner workings of an artist's mind and spirit. Through group and individual therapy, I've helped many artists tackle the challenging emotional issues that emerge from pursuing a career in this industry.

Much of the healing in therapy comes from the relationship between the client and therapist, so it's important to consider whether I am the right therapist for you. For this reason, I offer a free initial phone consultation session, which gives us the chance to get to know one another.

Mixed Adult Group

Hosted by

Daphna Cardinale

We live in a social world. We have become the people we are today, in large part, because of the people who have surrounded us. Therefore, one of the best ways to explore ourselves is in a group setting. Group interactions and dynamics can bring out many feelings and issues that would go long overlooked in individual therapy. Group therapy is an ideal venue for exploring how one relates to others. If you have ever struggled with interpersonal relationships or felt anxiety while socializing, group therapy can help you to better understand why. Together, we can work through those issues.
