People who come to see me are suffering in some way, whether with work, relationships, or other issues, and they want to know why and what they can do about it. Some have identified the problem as a mental health diagnosis, stress, intimacy issues, or another term describing its outward appearance. However, they have come to therapy because these descriptions do not get to the heart of it. With time and a good therapist, therapy is the perfect place to confide your thoughts and find a better way through life.
I’m not taking on new patients, but associates under my supervision have immediate availability.
My background is in the application of existential philosophy and psychoanalytic ideas to clinical practice. Patients often find this approach to be provocative yet warm, pragmatic but also "deep", and more personal than they have come to expect from therapy. I also have a research background on the therapeutic application of psychedelics.
Starting therapy is hard. You are looking for a stranger, a professional, to confide intimate details. I know how difficult it is to find someone you can trust, and how life-changing it can be.
While I am not accepting new patients at the moment, my associates at FreeAssociationClinic(dot)com do have availability.
