Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Canaan, CT

My psychotherapy practice is dedicated to helping people overcome difficulties in managing troubling emotions, dysfunctional behaviors, or problems in career, relationship, or life transition. Working primarily in short-term cognitive behavioral models, trouble areas are defined and broken down. Clients are actively encouraged to collaborate on developing new, healthier perspectives, and to generate and practice effective coping strategies and skills. Foundations in psychodynamic and developmental theory, neuroscience, as well as eastern philosophy and mindfulness practice often inform and shape the course of work.

My work focuses on social and cultural forces that affect development. Life’s challenges, navigating career dynamics, school, and interpersonal and family relationships impact our feelings of self-worth. Together, we will embark on a journey to uncover and understand self-limiting behaviors that result in sub-optimal interactions.

I specialize in mood disorders and anxiety. I've published five books--Undoing Depression is probably the most familiar---on depression, stress, and happiness, My latest, "Rewire," was released August 2014, and I'm working on a new book about self-destructive behavior. My approach is basically psychodynamic, with a lot of CBT and mindfulness. I believe that anyone can change--the brain can literally be rewired--but it takes a lot of patience and practice. Most of the people I meet have been battered around by life, and it's left scars--difficulty hoping, difficulty trusting. It's my job to mobilize that hope and trust.

Is your child or teen dealing with anxiety, OCD, or depression? Do they feel frustrated, sad, stuck, irritable, and lonely? Symptoms like poor school performance, family conflicts, weak peer ties, and physical issues (e.g., stomachaches, headaches, sleep problems) often indicate their struggle. They may battle repetitive negative thoughts, suggesting impending doom, inadequacy, or harm, causing distress. These challenges not only hurt the child but also disrupt family harmony, leaving parents heartbroken.

Currently doing in Office and Tele-behavioral health online sessions. Working with couples and individuals. Relationship struggles of all types. Assisting people with really listening to themselves is what I seem to do.

The therapeutic relationship is at the heart of the healing process and this is why I strive to provide a trusting, safe, and supportive environment where you experience empathy, positive regard, and feel heard. My role is to accompany you in a journey of self exploration and personal growth, helping you connect the dots between past and present, discover and establish a strong and authentic self, and empowering you to make changes, to reach your potential, to achieve successful interpersonal relationships, and to effectively cope with challenges.
