I am an independent contractor working with Neuro Harmony, LLC. I most enjoy working with folks struggling with trauma, ADD, BPD, NDE's, and who consider themselves "quirky" or "misfits." Often they are simply seeking validation - reassurance that they are not actually "crazy" - and have the curiosity, sense of humor and resilience needed to undertake existential adventures. Like most of us, what they are basically seeking is contentment and peace of mind.
Besides EMDR, DBT and CBT I use many adages and seed-planting questions in therapy, such as: "Just remember - EVERYONE is somebody else's weirdo", and "If nothing changes, how much more can you take before you've had enough?" In my experience the realizations my clients come to on their own carry far more weight than anything I could ever tell them.
I believe the most vital component of successful counseling is NOT the training or background of the counselor so much as it is the heart-to-heart connection that is made. I invite new clients to come in and give me a test-drive - if it works, GREAT, let's keep going, but if not then I will do my best to get them linked with whomever they click best with.
