Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LCSW, LCSW-C, LICSW
Verified
With a foundation in psychodynamic and relational psychotherapy, I use interventions from narrative,
cognitive
behavioral, and solution-focused therapies.
We all face stressors in life that can become overwhelming. Feeling stuck with our own negative thoughts or anxiety about new changes; repeatedly engaging in the same fights with our partner or spouse; worrying that we cannot support our children in the way we want - these are all universal experiences. Everyone faces obstacles, but not everyone has to remain feeling helpless, hopeless, or stagnant. It is at these times when it makes the most sense to reach out for support and when therapy can be most effective.

Patricia T Spangler
Psychologist, PhD, MA

My approach to trauma work is integrative; I combine techniques from several approaches (including evidence-based treatments such as prolonged exposure and
cognitive
processing therapy) and tailor them to the client's specific needs.
Are you struggling with memories of a traumatic event, anxiety, low mood, irritability, hyper-alertness, sleeplessness, or bad dreams? After a trauma, some people have trouble re-engaging with their lives and their loved ones. When the world just doesn't seem to make sense any more, it can be hard to reach out. Recovering from trauma can be challenging, but there are therapeutic techniques that can help. Finding the right approach and the right therapist are essential to alleviating traumatic stress symptoms and to helping you reconnect with family, friends, work, and life.
Gillian Brooke Karp
Psychologist, PhD

My approach is based in contemporary psychodynamic principles; in addition I use
CBT
and mindfulness tools as indicated.
Many of us keep our distress to ourselves, believing that seeking help is a sign of weakness or skeptical that we can trust a stranger. I offer a non-judgmental and culturally sensitive space to explore your concerns. Together we can begin to understand and improve your outlook and mood, whether you struggle with depression, anxiety, dissatisfying relationship dynamics, parenting issues or stress. I see adolescents and adults.

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.
