Gottman Method Therapists in 05404

For the majority of people, counseling gives a sense of relief and hope, in part, by providing a safe and open environment to freely talk with an unbiased and non-judgmental person about what is going on in their relationships and personal lives. I provide help for couples who feel as though they don't know what else to do to make things different in their relationships and are experiencing emotional distress due to a variety of reasons from: communication problems, conflict, and distancing, to an overall feeling of disconnect with their partners.

I have been providing psychotherapy and counseling to individuals, couples, and families in Vermont for over eighteen years in a wide range of clinical settings and across a broad scope of client populations. As a therapist, I support people through a process of improving their health and well-being, of living more more mindfully, and of creating opportunities for healing. I also assist clients in exploring personal growth, in developing new insights about themselves and their relationships, in learning skills to reduce stress, anxiety, and other forms of suffering, and in limiting obstacles that impact them from reaching their potential.

With more than twenty years of experience working with Adults, Couples, Families, and Adolescents using Cognitive Behavioral, Mindfulness, Person Centered, Narrative, Family Systems, and other therapies most recently including EMDR, I will help you identify ways in which to move towards the goals you have for change. I assist my clients with parenting issues, depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD and other life stressors.

***Hello. I am currently not accepting new clients. Feel free to check back in another time. I do have limited room for supervisees.**** I help individuals and couples with deepening their understanding of themselves and their patterns. I also offer supervision services for those acquiring the necessary hours for state licensure. I offer guidance and support with relational issues, anxiety, personal transitions, and suppressed creativity & vitality. While working together, we may focus on thought processes, feelings and mindfulness, in order to support positive relationships, emotional health, and increased awareness & empowerment.

Thank you for your interest. AT THIS TIME I AM NOT ACCEPTING NEW REFERRALS. My clinical work focuses on individuals who ls.are experiencing personal, family and/or behavior difficulty. These may include couples, parents and young adults who for one reason or another are experiencing a higher degree of conflict or stress and find it difficult to manage at this time. My therapeutic approach is to first explore with you your life history, the presenting problem and then develop a plan, utilizing tools to manage the stressors better. We'll establish goals for our work and embark on a journey together.

The ideal clients I am reaching out to are interested in participating in teletherapy, either individually or as couples. Due to a number of breaking developments, I have decided to convert my long-running practice to online therapy. I have professional counseling licenses in Vermont, MIssouri, and Illinois. I work from Missouri. Furthermore, I am seeking clients who prefer to work outside of the insurance system. I am rebooting my practice to offer high-qualify and affordable therapy. If you are interested, all you would need is Skype or Zoom (both are free downloads). I am offering 45 minute sessions for $40.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in Vermont, Massachusetts and Florida. With a variety of body-centered approaches, I see my role as a guide who creates a safe space for clients to explore and work through old patterns. I hold a mind, body, and spirit integration with a systemic approach. In my practice, I see couples, families and individuals. I have experience working with, but not limited to, infidelity, lack of physical or emotional intimacy, separation or divorce, poor communication, parenting or co-parenting, abusive or other destructive relationships, trauma, anxiety and depression.

We are living in extraordinary times. Learn how to cope with feelings of anxiety, sadness and grief to feel more grounded in your life and in your relationships. Current research research reveals that the kinder we are to ourselves the higher our sense of well-being. Self-compassion has also been proven to actually enhance our performance as opposed to the old 'push through the pain' approach.

My hope is that we will create a space together in which a unique healing relationship may unfold. To facilitate that space, I tend to focus on your feelings and how they are held in the body; on past experiences and how they relate to current feelings and relational patterns; on how relational patterns may be being repeated within the therapy; on the richness of your internal world (that emerges, for example, in dreams, daydreams, artwork, etc.); and on awareness itself, within which all of the above happens.

Is their a dullness in your current existence? A feeling that wasn't their before the pandemic? When change occurs as rapidly as it has in our society, the mind and body remain alert. It's not surprising you have lost that vitality and energy you used to have. Self care, and regulating our emotions has so much to do with support, connection to ourselves and others. When life dishes out more than we can handle - a more potent solution is called for. I offer tools to help you dive deeper into your innate capacity to heal and grow from complex trauma and/or undue amounts of stress. Collaboration and interconnectedness is essential.

Offering Telehealth! I have practiced as a licensed counselor for 30 years, am licensed in Montana and now Vermont, in the Burlington area. I specialize in treating PTSD using EMDR, a trauma therapy which transforms lives, allowing people to put the past in the past and live fully in the present. Therapy may include the family or couple. I am certified as an Emotionally Focused Couple’s therapist (EFT), the most research supported couples therapy. Anxiety, depression, grief, and end of life issues are often the focus of treatment. I emphasize a foundation of overall health & nutrition, exercise, & mindfulness based stress reduction.

Life can feel overwhelming amidst change and uncertainty. It can feel especially painful when we feel alone, helpless, or discouraged. My approach is collaborative, depth-oriented and humanistic. My goal is to help you connect to your heart and create a life that feels authentic, meaningful and joyful. I offer a warm, compassionate environment in which you can feel safe and deeply heard. I'm highly interactive. Using solution-focused therapies and mindfulness techniques I will work with you to explore limiting beliefs, heal pain, and deepen self-acceptance. I'm honored to join you on a path to emotional freedom.

Therapy should be a relief, when change seems needed or obstacles are discouraging. After decades of providing psychotherapy, I find that the best predictor of success is a genuine partnership between psychologist and client. The power lies with the client, to explore goals and then expect the therapist to provide useful resources. Studying many approaches to personal growth leads me to believe that no one "school" has all the answers, but that each client responds to what is correct for their own situation. Both problems that lie within you and those pressing from outside can be helped.

I enjoy working with clients of any age and from all walks of life. I have worked in treatment facilities with individuals and families focusing on addiction issues, trauma, behavior management, modification, and effective communications strategies. Examining a person and their experiences, creating a holistic approach is important to me and the success of my client. Part of this holistic approach is exploring past experiences, patterns in life, and creating opportunities for resiliency of self. I have a masters in school counseling, and help families with schools and transition planning. I have also completed all of my addiction counseling courses, and continue my professional development.

I specialize in palliative, grief, and redesigning end of life. I work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, societal oppression, and women’s issues. The foundation of my practice is person-centered with a multicultural lens. I incorporate spirituality when appropriate. My goal is to help clients traverse challenges, discover healthy solutions, develop resilience, build coping skills, and experience inner peace. In my practice, I collaborate with individuals, couples, and families to help them reach their full potential. Please email me with your counseling needs to be placed on my waiting list.

*Not accepting new clients* I provide services to couples, families, and individuals who are experiencing a range of concerns, including stress, self-esteem, life transitions, relationship concerns, grief and loss, divorce, parenting challenges, and family conflict.

Welcome! People come to therapy for many different reasons. As your counselor, I provide a compassionate, safe, and supportive place in which to explore your concerns. I work collaboratively with curiosity and non-judgment as we create a path toward the changes you wish to make. I have been working in the mental health field for over 25 years in a variety of capacities including school settings. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and couples. At the core of my work is an unconditional positive regard for each of my clients. I am honored to hear your life story and accompany you on this journey.

I approach therapy through creating a safe and supportive space in which a strong therapeutic relationship can form. Through a genuine partnership I support clients to identify meaningful goals. Working together we can grow to a better understanding of unhelpful life patterns, both inside and out, that leave one feeling distressed and unfulfilled. I use a holistic approach that draws upon a broad array of therapeutic resources depending upon what best suits your particular needs and situation. Clients are able to cultivate strengths and helpful skills along this therapeutic journey that help to improve identified difficulties.

At New Leaf Therapy, my goal is to help you navigate these seasons of change and help you grow and thrive. I can assist you in finding new perspectives that will get you what you want from life, whether with your family, friends, significant other, or yourself.

The world renowned teacher, Pema Chodron, once said that "compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It is a relationship between equals". This quote speaks to the heart of my clinical practice. I view therapy as a journey that we take together, one step at a time. We will travel together on this path and find ways to support a life of health and wellbeing that are meaningful to you.
