Currently doing in Office and Tele-behavioral health online sessions. Working with couples and individuals. Relationship struggles of all types.

We are all doing the best we can with the resources that we have available to us. But does it ever feel like it isn't enough? Our outlook on conflicts or barriers in our life will impact the outcomes of these situations. There is the saying, "If you say you can or you can't, either way you'll be right." Therapy helps you identify your goals and create a new path on your journey in life.

We are often faced with circumstances which prevent us from experiencing the feelings of joy, peace, and hope which we long for. Managing day-to-day obligations and expectations can make us to feel out of balance and cause us to experience negative emotions.

Norman R. Klein
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
LIFE IS DIFFICULT, My psychotherapy addresses your problems of living. Problems arise in three general areas: in your relationship; in your career or in job performance; and in the intrapersonal sphere (emotions, dissatisfaction with self).
My approach is to engage in problem-solving through full 60-minute sessions across a brief time. When significant relief is achieved, and you are in a more emancipated place, you will be better able to anticipate and attenuate emerging problems, yourself. Should patterns that interfere with your functioning or self-esteem return, booster sessions are a solution.
I offer housecalls (home or office).

Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC

Throughout childhood, children express themselves much better through play than by talking. The process of play therapy creates an environment where children do not have to talk directly about their sadness, anxieties, worries, or problems. Instead, children express themselves symbolically through their play; they communicate their conscious and unconscious feelings and experiences and in doing so, see that difficult feelings and memories become less intense and that they are able to work through and find solutions to their problems.

Perhaps you want to move beyond trauma which has held you back in life or receive support when life feels overwhelming. Maybe you are looking for the kind of support that honors all of you (body, mind, heart and soul) in your journey to thrive in life. An approach that sees you as whole, perfect in your own way and just needing support to discover your strengths and unique gifts. Yet, maybe you are ready to go the next step to a higher level of living and embodying your truth. Whatever reason you are here, it would be my honor to support you.
