I work with adults looking to transmute past traumas, relationship conflict, career or personal crisis, chronic pain management, academic stagnation, general uncertainty, and issues around sexual orientation and lifestyle.
You and I meet when you have a notion that you want to be different. For whatever reason, you have found yourself seeking change in behavior, perspective, or attitude. Whether you feel alone or are lonely; in need of a healing, reflective mirror to other possibilities of yourself; want more depth in your relationships with self and others; or are needing to explore options of how to view and be in the world, this is a path we can walk together. I work best with people wanting to access the wisdom of their whole selves, people who are willing to entertain the opportunity and challenge of being, here, now. That's when you and I meet.

Hi, I’m Adam and I’m glad you’re here. You may feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break, or frustrated that you know what you “should” be doing but still struggle to do it. Maybe your mind rarely slows down, you overthink conversations long after they happen, relationships feel heavy, or life transitions have left you feeling ungrounded. You may also feel trapped in cycles with food, body image, or self-worth that leave you feeling ashamed, disconnected, or out of control. Therapy can be a space where you feel understood without judgment and begin untangling what’s been weighing on you.

Currently accepting new clients. Psychotherapy Associates is a small, boutique practice located between downtown and Old Town. Drawing upon an East-West approach, we are trained in current, evidenced-based practices of western psychology while also drawing from the time-honored, contemplative practices of eastern philosophy. As we work, we consider the whole person - mind, body, and spirit - and that point of view guides our treatment decisions. Ultimately, we aim to be in tune with what works best for each individual client, recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to life's problems.

With a background in attachment theory and acute training working with Reactive Attachment Disorder, I welcome these big and often overwhelming feelings from teens and adult clients with a longstanding history of symptoms and trauma; especially those who have not yet found the relief they have been looking for.
Our therapeutic space will be bold, brave, and supportive. I aim to strike a balance of validating feelings of fragility or fear with a genuine belief in the potential to heal. Maybe you’ve been called “too much” or can’t quite carve the life and relationships that you want, despite an inner knowingness of your innate goodness and loving nature. It may at times feel hopeless, but I say there is hope here! This space is particularly effective for those eager to take a deeper dive into themselves and their most difficult material or Complex Trauma. Additionally, I provide Ketamine (KAP) Therapy Integration and support.

Through therapy with me, you can expect a transformative and agenda-free space in which to explore, discover, grow and empower yourself. My approach to therapy is broad and inclusive. I have specific training in relationship counseling, depth (Jungian) psychology, and trauma healing. I often work with dreams, which can be extremely helpful "guides" in the therapeutic process. I also draw from somatic (body-based) and cognitive behavioral techniques. However, far more important than any particular modality or technique is what arises in the present moment interaction between you and me.

At a certain point in a person's struggles, they are ready to break free from old patterns of destructive, negative, or compulsive behavior- even if they’re unsure how. They’re seeking relief from distress and pain but struggle to find ways to achieve that relief. Their goals include improving emotional health, nurturing relationships, and creating a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling. I offer a supportive and non-judgmental space to explore, learn, and grow through a process of supportive reflection that allows the patient to recognize unconscious drives and elicit intrinsic motivation to change authentically.

FAQ - About Adult Counseling
Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioral therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.

How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists hold various licenses depending on their training and state requirements. Common therapy credentials include Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs), Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs). Psychologists (PhD or PsyD) receive additional doctoral-level training and may focus on assessments or more specialized therapeutic approaches. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.

How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
