With 40 years of experience, I am a results-oriented family psychologist treating adults, adolescents and children (especially for anxiety and depression ). I have published 7 books based upon scientifically based treatments for specific psychological and behavioral issues, pioneering effective strategies for attention deficit disorders. My many media appearances include being interviewed on "Sixty Minutes." About 15 years ago I developed a sub-specialty called "Pain to Joy:" where psychological and physical pain or tension are transformed into healthy, joyful living. This approach combines psychological, behavioral, physical and philosophical methods. Most pain can be eliminated or greatly decreased.

If you are suffering from painful feelings of anxiety, panic, or depression it is understandably difficult to feel your best! The good news is you no longer need to suffer in silence! I am eager to listen and partner with you! Recovery is just a a free phone call away!.
At Feeling Good Psychotherapy, we care deeply about the individuals who come to us with a desire to feel more happiness in their lives. For Aristotle, the most notable of the metaphysical philosophers, happiness is the highest desire and ambition of all human beings. The ancient Greeks also believed happiness is attainable; something one cultivates within oneself, and this 2000-year-old approach to enlightenment is strikingly similar to a new scientifically-proven therapeutic approach called cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT).

My work involves working with the mind and body to support your experience with chronic and complex trauma, depression , anxiety, PTSD, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.
Have you felt stuck in how you're feeling, or that your capacity to manage life is stretched thin? Do you sense that there could be more to how you experience life but you're not sure how to strengthen your capacity? Life experiences can at times lead to losing hope that the fulfillment you're looking for is not attainable. Somewhere along the way, something happened that took you away from your hopefulness and enthusiasm, and you became disconnected from these core parts of yourself. Our work together is to discover where that disconnection is showing up in your life presently and deepen your capacity to experience your life fully.

Depression Therapists

What is the goal of therapy for depression?

Therapy for depression has several major goals. One is to relieve the mental pain of depression, which distorts feeling and thinking so that sufferers cannot see beyond their current state of mind or envision feeling better. Another is to give people the mental tools to recognize and correct the kinds of distorted thinking that turn a problem into a catastrophe and lead to despair. Therapy also teaches people how to process negative emotions in constructive ways, so they have more control over their own emotional reactivity. And it helps people regain the ability to see themselves positively, the motivation to do things, and the capacity for pleasure.

What happens in therapy for depression?

Perhaps most important, no matter the type of therapy, patients form an alliance with the therapist; that connection is therapeutic in itself, plus it becomes an instrument of change. Patients learn to identify and to challenge their own erroneous beliefs and thoughts that amplify the effects of negative experiences. They learn to identify situations in which they are especially vulnerable. And they learn new patterns of thinking and behaving. They may be given “homework” assignments in which they practice their developing skills. In addition, good therapists regularly monitor patients to assess whether and how much the condition is improving.

What therapy types help with depression?

Several types of short-term therapy have been found effective, each targeting one or more areas of dysfunction. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps clients challenge their negative thoughts and beliefs, learn new behavioral strategies, and curb reactivity to distressing situations. Behavioral activation (BA) is a form of therapy often used in conjunction with CBT; it focuses on engagement in rewarding activity as a pathway to changing negative feelings and disturbed mood. Another widely used approach is interpersonal therapy (IPT), which targets the social difficulties that both give rise to and get exacerbated by depression. Therapists may combine approaches as needed.

Can therapy for depression be done online?

Studies have found that online therapy can be highly effective for treating depression, although it may be more challenging to build a good therapist-patient alliance on screen than in person—at least at first. However, online therapy can offer considerable advantages. Accessibility and convenience are tops among them. Some people actually find it easier to talk about problems online than in person. While online therapy typically limits visibility of facial expression and body gestures that give important nonverbal cues to a patient’s state of mind, it can give therapists a glimpse into a patient’s world and life, providing information that can be highly useful in guiding therapy.

How effective is therapy for depression?

Many studies show that therapy is highly effective provided that patients complete the prescribed course of therapy, commonly 16 to 20 sessions. Over the long term, it is more effective than medication and the effects are more enduring. As a result, psychotherapy has the power not just to relieve current suffering but to prevent future episodes of the disorder. Therapy reverses the dysfunction in neural circuitry that disposes individuals to a negative view of themselves, the world, and their future and they acquire coping techniques, problem-solving skills, and understanding of their own vulnerabilities that are useful over the course of a lifetime.
