I view my therapeutic role as a partnership in which I listen carefully and guide the conversation so that I can "hear" underlying themes and connections I can then share with the client as we work toward resolving their difficulties. In providing information related to the client's concerns, my work is still psychodynamically informed. This is especially important for clients interested in learning about themselves and their relationships in a new way (their feelings, anxiety, causes of symptoms, or errors in judgment) in order to free themselves from the misunderstandings, confusion, and emotional "clutter" holding them back.
Therapists with decades of clinical experience, as in my case, are able to "listen faster," meaning they can reach a fuller understanding in less time. I work equally effectively, whether brief consultation, short term treatment, or more open-ended psychotherapy. I also provide interstate teleconsultation in my 3 specialties (for both clients & therapists).
Feel free to call or email me so that I can learn more about the kind of help you are seeking, answer any questions, and discuss fee arrangement (I 'm out-of-network). Special features of my practice: flexible schedule (I'm also a writer & editor, may have Sat. hrs), + offer as-needed or extended consultations, psychoeducation, & specialized referrals.
