Later life can be a particularly difficult time with multiple major life changes and transitions, losses, declining health and ability, and other issues. Likewise, those who provide care to aging loved ones or clients may face their own difficulty adjusting to life transitions, caregiver fatigue and burnout, or loss of identity and social connections. You may feel emotionally distant, numb, sad, stressed, anxious, depressed, etc. Regardless of you're specific situation and goals, you're taking a positive step by reaching out for help. I'm happy that you're here!

Whether you are seeking psychoanalysis at a time of crisis or from a desire to deepen your awareness of self, this process will meet you where you are and where you are willing to go. It is very much a dyadic experience attuned to your specific psychological needs. Jungian analysis believes in the self regulating aspect of ourselves that lies within us all. This process is designed to realize your authentic self in the world.

I enjoy working with clients who feel that their minds have become unmanageable. This experience often arises from a belief that inner conflict and complexity is a problem to be solved rather than a state of affairs to be understood and befriended. Sometimes this unmanageability shows up as anxiety, where the mind dreads bad outcomes and wont allow you to enjoy your life. Other times as depression, where the mind is mired in hopelessness, despair, or resentment. Addictions of various sorts can also arise from this state of affairs, whereby we try to distract or quiet our minds through destructive patterns of behavior.

Searching for a therapist can often feel like a daunting task. My goal is to ensure that my clients get the most out of their treatment by creating an environment which allows them to feel safe and comfortable. I strive to facilitate an increase in self-awareness, insight and self-care. Exploring life experiences, both past and present, is crucial to the process of identifying unhealthy patterns in thoughts and behaviors which often lead to symptoms of anxiety and depression. I believe that supportive guidance can help alleviate symptoms and allow space for positive change and personal growth.

I listen carefully to support strengths and often teach by the questions I ask. I have in-depth training in gestalt, family systems, psychodynamic and the newer relational models of therapy. Over the years I have developed many strategies to help individuals struggling with anxiety and depression. Call me for more information.

What brings you to think of talking to someone, may have to do with personal or work relationships, with past or present trauma, with serious losses, and/or may be psychological in nature. Inner or outer obstacles may be shutting down access to inner resources and clarity, and, possibly, hope. Here, a safe therapeutic environment, where you are accompanied as you express the thoughts and feelings that occur to you about your situation, is needed. Unrushed, being accurately heard and responded to, you will gradually put together pieces of your own puzzle, leading to new insights and a sense of inner freedom.
Mary Joy
MA, Dipl PW, QMHP, CHT
Sometimes, we want to make changes but struggle with unknown parts of ourselves that seem to stop us. Habits, life long patterns and unconscious beliefs can hold us back from living the life that we long for. It takes time and courage to examine our belief system and reach out for what we really want. As a therapist, I follow the process of each individual. Clients are viewed on a spectrum of health, rather than through a lens of pathology. This approach creates a very curious and creative focus that encourages growth at the client’s own pace.

Psychologist, PhD

Are you feeling stuck in life and constantly juggling between personal space and various obligations? Do you tend to be hard on yourself and often “take the blame” in relationships? Do you feel the need to be there for others but often forget about yours? Whether you are beginning on therapy journey or continuing on, the growth towards self-understanding and awareness is the first step of healing. My therapeutic approach is warm, non-judgmental and collaborative. My theoretical orientation adopts an integrative approach that incorporates psychodynamic, interpersonal process and mindfulness.

I hope to build therapeutic relationships that encourage my clients to process and fully experience emotions, move through depression and anxiety, and re-frame negative thoughts and patterns with a deeper understanding of their origins. Together, we engage bravely (and playfully) with unexamined thoughts, feelings and experiences!

My work supports your individual human journey, in all of its complexity. At the core of our therapeutic work together is my profound respect for your authentic life path. My approach to therapy honors you as an individual, and does not strictly adhere to any one theoretical orientation.

Relationships are the fundamental building blocks of human experience. We are shaped by and devote many resources to them, and they can be sources of inspiration, support, and consistent love. They can also be harmful and even dangerous, especially when an individual's relationship templates have began as dysfunctional in their families of origin. Many of my clients have been or currently are in relationships with narcissistic/disordered partners, family members, or bosses, or were/are members of high-control groups. Healing is possible after these relationships, and there is hope for choosing healthier people to love.

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NBCC

As a therapist who has been in practice for 9 years, I have a wealth of both experience and knowledge. I draw on my clinical experience to help my clients learn the skills to enhance their quality of life, break old patterns, and accept themselves in order to move past unprocessed shame and live in the present moment. I am effective at getting to the heart of the issue with my clients and in using evidence-based practices to provide structured, concrete skill building, as well as to create a validating environment. I would describe my therapeutic style as compassionate, understanding and efficient.

Most folks can handle the ups and downs of life unless their closest relationships are in trouble. That's what brings people to me. With over two decades as facilitator of personal and relational growth in individuals, couples and families, I am psycho-dynamic (seek to 'peel back the layers') with individuals, helping them to become free from the emotional baggage of childhood. I offer a systems-oriention with couples and families along with some Gottman tools and Prepare and Enrich. I developed a therapeutic program for a children's home in CA and served as their therapist and staff trainer for 5 years.

ursa major counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CADC-I
Verified
ursa major counseling is for my fellow sensitive stargazers feeling less-than-stellar in this insensitive world. I specialize in therapy for highly sensitive people (HSP). Being HSP is kinda like The Force: very lightside/darkside. Lightside: you're ultra-caring, sunsets are like whoa, people’s vibes write you novels & you have the kind of intense emotional connections that they write songs about. Darkside: you're exhausted. Full stop. You hustle to please everyone & get it perfect but it's never enough to stop those 4 AM hot thoughts. Oh, & you have the kind of intense emotional connections that they write songs about.
