I became a psychotherapist after many years as a college writing teacher, drawn by my interest in learning and emotion. I begin by listening so that I can understand the complexity of my client's life story. Once we have reached a shared understanding, I work with my client to discover more effective and compassionate ways of relating to oneself and to others.

Clients often come in seeking more of, and for, themselves. It may be loss, transition, or relationship that brings them in, as well as, stress, overwhelm and/or a clear desire to grow. Regardless of the catalyst, all are wanting something more from life. Together, we can support finding more energy, ease and fulfillment in your experience. What makes you feel alive? What gets in the way? These are questions to ask when feeling stuck. There can be complex feelings of fear, disconnect and confusion, blocking the way to motivation, clarity and desire. With openness, compassion and even humor, we can find the way, to the fullest you.

I’ve been described (affectionately) as a kick-ass therapist. I support my clients to deal with triggers more gracefully, take responsibility for the stories of their lives, and move towards the life goals that bring them true pleasure. I am also particularly good with navigating and transforming relationship issues and conflicts. My goal is to support those I work with to move towards greater presence, purpose, and play. Life can be intensely beautiful but sometimes we have to sort out our internal and external dynamics before we can be fully in the flow. I see people on a short-term or long-term basis, depending on their needs.

You may be pursuing couples therapy to increase intimacy or enhance a stable relationship. Alternately, you may be overcome with frustration/grief/anger as, despite best efforts to resolve challenges, you're stuck in repetitive relationship patterns that can no longer be soothed, justified, or ignored. Perhaps you're in partnership, yet still suffering from profound loneliness. I can help empower you and your partner to awaken from toxic rules/expectations, and escape the prison of isolation, shame, blame, and silence. This empowerment allows for renewed capacity to give yourself, and each other, compassion, acceptance, and freedom.

In my experience, most people seeking therapy are having a tough time, troubled by something. The reasons are as varied as people themselves, could be depression, anxiety, ADD, troubles with substances or addictions, struggles in recovery. Sometimes it's conflicts in the family, with children, or other relationships. Sometimes challenges from the world and workplace are too much. At times figuring out "what's wrong" is the first therapeutic task. I help by listening, observing, asking questions, understanding without judgement. In turn I help people learn to cope, to understand, and make changes. I often use humor and stories.

Hello and thanks for your interest in my services. I help people to reconnect with the life they would like to live. With the tools of mindfulness and cognitive therapy we work on gaining freedom from intrusive emotions and beliefs that don't serve them. Through getting in touch with their emotions and releasing them, they can find a fresh creative energy within. Most of my clients seek help with anxiety, excessive worries, depression, trauma, addiction or just a difficult relationship situation. I enjoy connecting with my clients and emphasize the power of a strong therapeutic relationship.
Kevin Blanchard
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LICSW
Verified
I understand psychotherapy as collaborative work. My task is to fully attend with my eyes, ears and intuition to all that my client is offering; the spoken as well as the unspoken, the verbal as well as the non-verbal. It is my client’s task to put into words what their world feels like from the inside. From the resultant dialogue emerges a more complex understanding of their difficulties. Suffering seems an unavoidable feature of living, but articulating it lessens the impact, and insight gained as to its origins and possible meaning suggests the path to positive change.

Sometimes personal turbulence makes it hard for us to weather the storms in our lives. When we have depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction to substances or simply addiction to negative patterns of thinking, therapy can help us to get on the right track. With nineteen years of experience, I can helpyou to focus and to find solutions . Many people are apprehensive about what therapy can do for them. There are many different modalities or approaches in therapy I can share with you, but I will begin by listening to you, without judgement. My goal is to get to know you as a person first and then, to provide you with input.

**Practice full as of Nov 2019** I am a licensed psychologist specializing in therapy with children and adolescents. I believe we all develop "ways of being" in the world as a result of our innate temperament and early experiences. Psychotherapy and psychological testing offer the chance to look at these ways of being with a compassionate lens, honoring the value they have held in your life while determining whether they are still useful to you now. Through this process, new ways of being can emerge, leading to greater satisfaction in your life.

At this moment you might not believe it, but you possess a deep wisdom that knows who you are and what you need. But then there may be those stories and thoughts that may bring depression, anxiety, or frustration, distancing you from the things you care about the most, including your own self. These patterns may have been influenced by family, friends, or any one of the unhealthful messages promoted in our society. Wherever or whenever they originated, together we can work to release you from the old stories holding you back.
