You wake up, already tired, and the thoughts immediately start. The task list at work or school, the family obligations, the sick loved one, the friend having a hard time, the decisions that need to be made … it all relentlessly demands your attention, NOW. How to find the energy to face the day? You’ve tried to figure out how to feel better but it’s not working, or it’s just not enough.

We all pass through difficult times in life. Divorce, relationship issues, medical problems, current or past traumas, financial issues, family conflict, grief and loss, academic, social and employment problems can impact us all. Depression and anxiety can be biological, rooted in adjustment and or stress, or a result of medical and substance abuse problems. My experience over the past 20 years providing group, individual and family treatment to adults and children has shown me there is no problem that can't be solved with the right combination of coaching, techniques, support and resources.

My goal is to help you release your own potential, unblock energy, so that you have greater awareness and can actualize that new awareness.

Most people who come in to see me usually wind up uttering a version of this in the first weeks: “This is not how I thought my life would turn out.” They seem unaware that many of us have felt this way at one time or another. People are hurting when they make a call to a therapist. They’re “stuck,” and yet anxious about the therapy process. They want change. But how to go about making it happen? Llfe is by definition unpredictable. No matter how we plan or adequately prepare for it, it comes down to sorting out the difficult from the more difficult when decisions have to be made.

Humanistic Therapists

How does humanistic therapy work?

One tenet of humanistic therapy is that people are good. The humanistic approach is concerned with a person’s ability to accept oneself. It likewise encourages a person to overcome self-criticism and self-defeating tendencies, as well as disapproval from others. This approach also emphasizes self-actualization and treating an individual as a whole person. A foundation of this therapy type: The patient is the expert in their life, and treatment often takes the individual’s lead.

Is humanistic therapy evidence-based?

Humanistic therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has found that humanistic therapy can lead to significant improvement, and for some people it can be just as effective as other therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy. The benefits of humanistic therapy are enduring.

How long does humanistic therapy last?

The goal of humanistic therapy is to understand a person’s day-to-day experiences. While sessions can be short-term and last over a few months, therapy can sometimes continue beyond that and last up to a year or more. And because patients learn the theory behind humanistic therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.

Is humanistic therapy effective?

According to research, many patients find success with humanistic therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in addressing poor self-esteem and self-sabotage, as well as improving conditions including anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can be long standing, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve learned during treatment.
