Grief Therapists in 01262

If you find yourself wondering why you have the difficulties that you have and are at a loss for how to effect real change, you are not alone. Our symptoms are most often expressions of the best solutions we can find to cope with our deepest wounds. However, these solutions can become wounds of their own, and often draw us further from the sources of our suffering, leaving us feeling stuck, hopeless and confused.

I am a clinical psychologist and a board certified psychoanalyst whose treatment focus is on empathy and in-depth appreciation of your unique experience. This creates an atmosphere of acceptance, compassion and collaboration, which helps foster a sense of trust and safety. In this environment we face your immediate concerns, as well as the repetitive patterns which may inhibit growth, satisfaction and reaching your potential. The work of psychotherapy and psychoanalysis is for us to understand and explain these themes to improve and enhance your emotional well being.

It is possible for all people to affect change in their lives, and to feel more contentment and empowerment, no matter your age or how long you have been struggling. Congratulations on having the courage to reach out. We all need support in navigating life and asking for help is the first step in that direction. The individuals and couples that are seeking my services are looking for guidance in communicating with family members and significant others, decision-making, coping with depression and anxiety, challenging patterns due to past trauma, and support in making changes in any area of life.

Life transitions often lead us to feel overwhelmed. While people close to us may be supportive, we may not always feel able to share with them our doubts and discomfort. Whether we’re holding our own or a loved one's sexuality or gender identity; navigating changes in our primary relationships, or reflecting on adverse experiences, having a safe space to reflect and process is invaluable. My practice serves adult clients who have struggled with anxiety, live with trauma or grief, or who experience the world as members or allies of the LGBTQ+ community. My approach is conversational, strengths-based, and results-oriented.

Integrating my training as a clinical psychologist and certified psychoanalyst with 3 decades of coaching & playing competitive soccer, I developed a unique style of integrating my passion for athleticism and team into my psychotherapy and coaching practice. While the quest for understanding the past is important to the process, achieving goals, identifying obstacles, considering options, and defining action steps is the essence of the work. "Trying" is understandable but "Doing" is essential! This approach has been particularly successful with adolescent and adult men.

My work as an individual psychotherapist focuses on helping people develop greater self-esteem, more satisfying relationships, and greater ease and fulfillment in their lives. We work towards reducing distressing feelings, and identifying and resolving problems that stand in the way of your leading the life you would like to have. A deeper understanding of past experiences can be key to resolving unhealthy patterns of thinking and behavior. Bringing this understanding into the present, you then have tools to meet whatever occurs in daily life with greater clarity.

After a twenty-year career in the education field, I am confident we can work together effectively on what has brought you to the point of reaching out for help. My style of counseling combines an awareness of how past experiences impact our thinking and behaviors with a mindfulness-based appreciation of our unchanging core. If you're in a troubling relationship I help to develop safe spaces to deepen connection and intimacy through deep listening and self-compassion. Families looking for help with teens can expect a variety of concrete approaches to engage them involving multiple family members as appropriate.

My ideal client is one who is curious about and interested in making the changes necessary to achieve their stated goals. I work with people who have reached the limits of their ways for navigating the relationships in life that are no longer satisfying, desireous or life enhancing.. These "stuck" points can be interpersonal, intrapersonal, and/or professional.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist. I take a developmental standpoint and work with my patients around where they have become stuck in their lives. My treatments are highly individualized based on what my patients wish to work on and what we negotiate together as treatment goals. I have experience working with a diverse range of people confronting issues such as major life transitions, experiences of adversity and trauma, and cultural adjustment.

My desire is to help clients create a more positive and productive life experience in order to transform their lives and break the cycle of self-defeating behaviors. Life is not meant to be just endured, but enjoyed. We all deserve a chance to reach our fullest potential despite experiences which have created limited core beliefs and hold us back in self- destructive patterns of depression, anxiety, fear, and guilt. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative experience.

Are you struggling just to get through the day? Do you look to others for approval? Do you feel uncomfortable in your own skin? Do you lack the courage to be your "authentic self"? Have you been acting "as if" you're okay, but really feel like you're "not good enough", "defective", and "unlovable"? Do you feel hopeless? I'd like to help. I am a compassionate and interactive therapist who will provide a safe, and non-judgemental environment where you can safely explore your feelings and develop curiosity about your life. Let me help you rediscover your strengths, your authentic self and your unique truth.

Men and women who appear to benefit the most from working with me are those who arrive via their own motivation. They are clear that something is not working for them and they are open to investigating what might move them forward. Having curiosity as well as a willingness to expand their "comfort zone" contributes to a successful outcome. It is my intention to assist a client in expanding their understanding of their situation, others and themselves. Being "mindful" is more than a slogan; learning to be with things as they are or make changes adds greatly to well-being.

SHIFT HAPPENS. You cannot stop the changing tide . Follow your passion, change your career, rebuild self-esteem, strengthen relationships, control addiction, delete stress, find balance in your life. You need a therapist who has first hand experience and empathic approach to make you successful. There is no SINGLE method that works for all people. I focus on the individual needs and responses of my clients to ensure that they are free of cookie-cutter therapeutic approaches or psyhchobabble, where the individual always counts first. You owe it to yourself to experience the strength you can gain from the right guide.

I provide psychotherapy focused on helping individuals better understand their struggles in an effort to create significant and meaningful change. I work collaboratively with patients to develop a treatment plan and goals for therapy that reflect the singular nature of their experience while providing a safe space to deepen their self-understanding and understanding of their relationships with others. I am primarily focused on the context for and meaning of an individual's struggles as they pursue health.

I've learned in over thirty-five years in the field that anyone who wants change can benefit from a therapy that is geared toward increased self-awareness. Psychotherapy is an empowering experience that helps people improve relationships, reach higher income, quality of life, and educational goals. Understanding the world we live in, and who we are, is a key to open those doors to greater satisfaction, fewer frustrations, and a greater sense of possibilites. Therapy can, and should produce answers to questions about why things are not working out, and what actually does work
