Change can be intimidating.

As we work together, we will identify the specific dynamics and patterns that are creating obstacles in your life.

Temple Morris
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW-C
Verified
My approach, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a type of
cognitive
-behavioral therapy, is evidence-based and shown to be extremely effective.
Being a human is hard. Anxiety keeps us up at night. Depression weighs us down. And that critical voice never fails to let us know exactly how we screwed up. We feel numb, unsettled -- disconnected from those we love and disengaged from what matters most. Looking at our lives, we realize that this is not what we had planned on, and the life we yearn for seems out of reach.
Victoria Balenger
Psychologist, PhD

This process typically balances useful
cognitive
/behavioral strategies; energy psychology methods to diffuse stress; and gentle exploration of any unresolved traumas, losses, or family-of-origin dynamics.
Based on my broad experience in higher education, Federal EAP's and law enforcement/national security settings, I have observed that many people are "too well-adapted for their own good". Caretaking others, performing above expectations, and appearing just fine while their physical or emotional health is being eroded by chronic stress or unhealthy coping mechanisms. In an initial phone consultation, I try to help prospective clients define and clarify their reasons for seeking help. I then provide recommendations regarding counseling, psychotherapy, or other support or treatment options in the person's best interest.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
Cognitive-behavioral therapy stresses the role of thinking in how we feel and what we do. It is based on the belief that thoughts, rather than people or events, cause our negative feelings. The therapist assists the client in identifying, testing the reality of, and correcting dysfunctional beliefs underlying his or her thinking. The therapist then helps the client modify those thoughts and the behaviors that flow from them. CBT is a structured collaboration between therapist and client and often calls for homework assignments.
