I see children, adults, and families.
I find that a client is best served when they are listened to, validated, but also challenged to make positive change. That is why I take a cognitive behavioral approach to the counseling I do. Whether the client is a child or adult we all have the ability to learn from the past and make different choices for the future.

I currently treat children, adolescents, adults and couples.
I view psychotherapy as a collaboration aimed at fostering greater self understanding while working toward personal change and symptom reduction. I strive to help my patients reach
greater fulfillment in their lives by fostering understanding of the interpersonal patterns and unresolved
personal, life and/or relationship issues that contribute to the challenges they face.

My interests lie in the area of anxiety, depression, and trauma. I work with children, adolescents, and adults. I also have experience treating anger and problematic behavioral challenges. I specialize in the use of cognitive behavioral interventions and will use alternative interventions when appropriate. I offer appointment times throughout the day including early morning and early evening times. I look forward to hearing from you and how I may be of help to you. If you contact me and I do not respond it is only because my schedule is completely full, and I have no available appointment times to offer. Respectfully, Tom

Most people considering therapy are deep into the pattern Albert Einstein warned of: "...doing the same things over and over again and expecting different results." Sadly, when life isn't working it can be difficult or frightening to think of options other than the old ones which perpetuate the distress and dysfunction. Finally picking up the phone can be the beginning you need. To learn more about my practice please visit my website at: www.drerniedowns.com

I work with people on a variety of issues, typically those struggling with anxiety/depression, stress management, substance use and addiction. There are moments in our lives that feel extra stressful or overwhelming and this is perhaps more true today given these especially challenging times. This is when having strong, healthy coping strategies and the right tools can help us feel back in control with the ability to better manage life again.

Seeking out help for a problem that you can’t solve on your own is one of life’s more difficult – and brave – first steps. In my capacity as a clinical psychologist, I have witnessed so many people make transformational changes in overcoming depression, trauma, anxiety, and the problems that arise from both personal history and current difficulties. By tailoring the way I work to meet your specific and unique needs, we can, together, work toward both healing and expanding emergent capacities for positive change.

I love my work. You may want a quiet, protected space where you can think out loud - with the freedom to follow your thoughts to their own (surprising?) conclusions. Or you may want a more active interaction, a back-and-forth exchange to wrestle with difficult emotions and come out the other side feeling more settled and self-directed in your life.
My first job is to meet you wherever you are - wanting help with an immediate crisis, or wishing to explore a past experience that continues to haunt you.
