My style is relational and humanistic and my goal is to help each client tap into and achieve his/her true potential. I work interactively with clients to help foster clarity about what is truly desired and help to identify and modify problematic patterns and themes that stand in the way of increased self, life and relationship satisfaction. Growth, change and helping clients move toward their own vision of peace, fulfillment and happiness is always the goal.

I enjoy helping adults of diverse ages, backgrounds and lifestyles to navigate their way through life's difficulties and transitions, including issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, coping skills, identity and personal development, aging, loss, and relationship and
family
issues.
I view psychotherapy as an opportunity for personal growth and greater self-understanding. While it is important to address specific issues in the here and now, often the process can also lead to broader gains in self-awareness and life satisfaction. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to each person's unique needs and goals. I will work with you to address your concerns, overcome obstacles and find greater personal satisfaction.

I incorporate several perspectives into my work including
Family
Systems, Cognitive-Behavioral, and Experiential Psychology.
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, educator, and former teacher. I believe the power of healing lies in being connected to others, and collaboration is the heart of my practice. The stresses of life can isolate and alienate us from those we rely on for support. A therapeutic relationship is one where you can be connected and understood without the judgment inherent in your other relationships. Therapy should be a place where you can be comfortable being yourself and learn the tools and skills to improve your satisfaction with life.

I draw primarily from cognitive behavioral therapy,
family
systems and strengths-based practices.
Making the decision to seek therapy can feel both overwhelming and empowering. My goal is to support you as you take this important step towards achieving wellness. I strive to create a welcoming environment that allows you to talk openly, explore concerns and recognize your strengths. Working within medical and community settings, I have experience with clients of all ages (from early childhood to geriatric populations). At different life stages, certain stressors can be more difficult to manage. I strive to help people find new ways to cope with these challenges.

I specialize in helping people explore relationship/
family
patterns, issues of identity and intimacy, and new ways of experiencing and understanding their own thoughts and feelings.
Therapy is a chance to invite someone else into our inner world, and express feelings and thoughts that we may not always feel comfortable sharing, even with those closest to us. I seek to provide a supportive and challenging space for my clients to explore the issues that are holding them back from living their fullest lives. I am direct and active in session, while allowing people the space to develop their own insights and sense of meaning. I have limited availability but I supervise two clinicians - Jodi Keller and Laura Duprey - who I highly recommend. Both have current availability for in person or virtual sessions.

I work with people who are experiencing problems because of relationship difficulties, loss, infertility,
family
transitions, work problems, substance use and health issues.
Change is hard. But change is necessary when we find ourselves in situations where we feel sad, anxious, angry or stuck. My ultimate goal as a therapist is to help you develop more options in life -- to help you realize your potential in love, work and play. This involves the development of new ways of thinking, feeling and behaving. I will be your collaborator in this process. I will strive to create a safe, empathic and non-judgmental environment that will allow you to identify and explore your current struggles. Working together, change is possible.

Paul Giblin
Marriage & Family Therapist, PhD, MDiv, LMFT
I specialize in couples counseling,
family
counseling, counseling with men, and premarital counseling. I help clients make meaning of their struggles, articulate their desires, and collaborate to reach their goals. I normalize and interpret conflict in terms of differences, identity, connection, and power issues. Intimacy and anger, stress and time constraints, are often the focus of our work together. I tend to be fairly transparent and strengths-focused. I also specialize in the integration of spirituality and psychotherapy.

Using a mix of attachment theory, strategic therapy, and experiential approaches, you can be sure I will keep you engaged and motivated to show up to sessions where you will participate in more than just talk therapy. I obtained my master's degree in marriage and
family therapy
from Wheaton College and describe myself as a "systems thinker." I welcome the opportunity to meet with families, couples, or adult individuals. I also have a special interest in working with couples navigating ADHD, families with older children, and individuals struggling with codependency.

Throughout our lives, we are taught how to be a good friend, a good
family
member, and to be kind and considerate to others. Unfortunately, people often are not taught how to be nice to oneself. As a therapist, I strive to assist clients in self-exploration and self-compassion and working towards self-acceptance. The real change starts with us as individuals. Once we start to take care of ourselves, and make those steps towards internal healing, there is a ripple effect towards improving our relationships with others. All parts of us are important, especially those parts of us we want to avoid and reject.

family therapy

Do you ever feel like you're wearing a mask to cover up how you really feel? One of the challenges of personal problems is the pressure to seem like everything's fine. Many of us stifle important parts of ourselves with romantic partners; friends and
family
; and even at work, fearing that doing otherwise will come at a cost. But masking our feelings often shows up as anxiety, depression, lack of self-care, or dissatisfaction in our personal or romantic relationships.

If you are struggling with health, personal or
family
issues, I’m sure the larger social context has made them even more complicated. I am inspired by the effort and trust folks bring to therapy. I try to match that with positive energy and clinical expertise. I work with clients with a range of presenting concerns. I am particularly drawn to: identity exploration & growth, grief & loss (all kinds), working with helpers (therapists, healthcare workers, educators..), addressing social challenges & relationships. I specialize in perinatal issues: high risk pregnancy, loss, infertility, traumatic delivery, postpartum mood changes.

I work with teen and adult clients with one thing in common: the desire to more confidently live life as their truest selves. Is there some aspect of who you are that doesn't align with expectations from you
family
, community, or even yourself? Does this bring up confusion, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or other stressors. Do you want to live a more full and confident life, but you don't know how to do it on your own? I support my clients in understanding their identities, values, and desires and in building the confidence so you can live a life you are proud of.
