David Raniere, Ph.D.
Psychologist
Verified
My practice is devoted to creating a reflective space where individuals can make fuller contact with who they are and actively stretch beyond the limits of what they can do alone. Attention to one's inner life requires respect and courage, and fosters greater understanding, healing, growth, and the making of a more fulfilling life. The changes my patients seek to make include several dimensions. Improvements are often sought with respect to painfully familiar habits of thought, feeling, and action (or inaction). These are often longstanding burdens that one has carried for quite some time.

I am an interactive therapist, practicing for more than 30 years. My preference is to work with couples helping them understand how "old" dynamics, patterns and behaviors impact their current relationship. And, then to coach them to make positive changes. I have worked quite a bit with couples who have experienced infidelity. I also enjoy working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression or other concerns helping them with coping strategies. Further, I have had a lot of experience working with healthcare professionals and first responders.

Do you find yourself feeling alone and stuck, letting your anxiety get the best of you, or not bouncing back from upsets as quickly as you’d like to? Perhaps you’ve made some life decisions you thought would lead to happiness, but you’re not feeling as good as you’d hoped? Maybe you’re dealing with a chronic illness or other health related challenge, or you feel unsatisfied with some of your closest relationships. Life can be hard, and everyone needs help sometimes. In fact, humans are by nature collaborative. It can be difficult to see all the possibilities when your mood or hurts from your past are getting in the way.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship should be a place of authenticity and acceptance, and my goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space that nurtures personal growth and healing. Having lived and worked in Asia for more than a decade, I offer a culturally sensitive environment that honors the wisdom and experience of each individual. As a somatic-based psychotherapist, I focus on the development of self-awareness and self-knowledge of both mind and body. I use traditional talk-therapy, but I also incorporate the tools of yoga therapy, dance/movement therapy and the Eastern concept of mindfulness.

Relational issues are my focus. We are related to our birth families, our marriage or divorce families, our mates, children, peers, coworkers, and to our addictions and habits. My work connects the dots and helps one to see the where and why of the problem and to learn how to address it in a loving, healthy and healing way. Whether the conflict is between partners, parent and child, siblings or addictions, the goal is to mend the relationship and create positive self esteem. I surface the real issue through insightful and penetrating questions to illuminate the path to clarity and resolution.

You may be facing challenges in your life or are having difficulty coping with the stress of everyday life. My approach is to provide a caring, empathetic and supportive environment in which we can develop a partnership to foster change, healing, and growth. I believe your problems do not define you and are not the entirety of who you are. I recognize that our own background and experiences impact us and our ability to adapt to stress. Race, culture, age, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, sexual orientation and the community we live in can influence how we perceive things.

Life is hard. Period. Do you find life is pulling you in different directions leaving you stressed and overwhelmed? Maybe this shows up as you finding it hard to say "no" to others? Or you thinking that you are “never good enough” Or feeling lonely and isolated from your family, friends, or culture, such that you feel like no one understands you, no one really “gets” you? Or sometimes you do not feel like getting out of bed or want to do anything. Therapy with me is a space for you to explore ALL that is blocking you from being the best version of yourself. A place for you to realign, renew, live your best life, & flourish.
Rachel Castleberry
Counselor, LMHC, RDT
Verified
You may be struggling with a life transition, interpersonal conflict within a relationship or remnants from a traumatic event. Regardless of the cause of instability, my approach is to foster a collaborative and empathetic therapeutic relationship in which we can identify, untangle and transform thinking and behavioral patterns that no longer serve you. In doing so we deeply acknowledge how difficult life can be, how sincere our efforts are to change, and not to be afraid of or ashamed of our failings, for they have little to do with our value as human beings.
