True acceptance of yourself is the first step to healing. Are you looking to build insight into your life? Are you interested in understanding yourself better? Do you want to understand and improve your relationships? If you answered yes, then therapy is right for you. I will provide a safe and accepting space for you on your journey. Some of the things that I offer in therapy are therapeutic feedback, help in identifying unhelpful patterns or thoughts, psychoeducation, relaxation techniques, communication and social skills.

I specialize in depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and trauma (childhood trauma, such as physical, sexual and emotional abuse or neglect, and adult trauma such as abuse, rape, accidents, and natural disasters), including all trauma-related conditions, such as PTSD, eating disorders, substance abuse, and cutting. I also specialize in separation and divorce, including negotiating and managing child custody arrangements. My 20-years of experience as a practicing attorney inform my work with clients who are separating/divorcing and clients involved with the legal system in any way (lawyers, litigants, or trauma victims).

My approach to therapy stems from the belief that all individuals innately possess the ability to overcome adversity. Often times, we must rediscover and become reacquainted with our inner strengths and resources. I strive to provide my clients with a safe space to reach their therapeutic goals through insight, coping skills, and self-exploration within the context of their environment and relationships.

Are you feeling anxious or stuck? Do you wake up each day not really wanting to get out of bed? Are you worried that you will never feel any different? We are living in incredibly anxious and unprecedented times where we are being asked to do the impossible. During the most challenging of times, we all need some extra support and help. Often times when we are stressed with day to day life, old traumas and stressors can resurface. I work side by side with you in a collaborative way to help you learn new ways to regulate your emotions so you can become unstuck and refocus and move toward your goals.

Every phase of life brings a new challenge, whether our own or of someone we care about. Sometimes, we need a little extra help to successfully get through yet another phase. Those are the times to seek therapy. I would like to empower you to help yourself by taking that step to improve your and possibly your loved one's quality of life. As a wife, a mother, a daughter, and a professional woman, I have an intricate ability to understand the struggles that one might face in life as we transition in and out of each of these roles, daily.

It has been my pleasure over the last 35 years to assist my clients in getting through though their internal and external challenges. I greatly appreciate all the training from teachers, mentors, and supervisors as I grew to comprehend much psycho dynamic, developmental, and mindfulness psychotherapy as a way to help clients of all age groups, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientations to move forward. I have now proud to introduce a new therapy corporation with a number of wonderful therapists with a variety of experience. Carol Bernstein, LCSW MPH, Becky Rau LCSW.

I believe that therapy is a journey toward growth, personal fulfillment and greater understanding of our selves and of those around us, achieved through a process of self-reflection. The ultimate goal: to be effective problem solvers, to be more mindful, to enrich our lives and to enrich the lives of those who surround us. I offer an integrative track to psychotherapy to help clients transition through challenging moments in their lives.

I love what I do. My job is to listen carefully to what you say or don't say when sharing your story. I want to help you navigate through challenging issues that keep you from moving forward by finding your authentic self and voice. I am a directive, interactive and patient therapist and believe therapy is the proactive journey where you will learn to express yourself, be heard effectively and heal your pain. Any step you take can move you toward fulfilling your life goals while achieving a feeling of contentment. I return all calls the day that I receive them and if I am unable to help you I will try to direct you. wcccla.com

I am a nutritional psychologist and holistic health coach. My practice focuses on restoring the body to homeostasis, or a state of ease. It’s common that most mental health disorders (and general feelings of dis-ease) begin in the gut, which is where treatment typically begins. Treatment focuses on using the wisdom and science of functional nutrition and integrative medicine. Psycholofit offers a holistic approach to identify areas of need that will assist you in living a life full of health, happiness and abundance. More often than not, all it truly takes to heal is a shift in mindset or a shift in perspective.

Play, with neither a plan or purpose, is the best precondition -- Marie-Louise von Franz. Everyone has a story and sometimes we become stuck in our story because we want to move in a direction that may be different than what is expected. Being stuck may manifest with symptoms of anxiety, depression or other disorders. My approach is to encounter these symptoms with curiosity rather than judgment. The role of therapy is to provide understanding and an empathetic ear with a belief that the activity of therapy will provide insight and healing.

Are you dealing with a major life transition, feeling lost or just need someone to help you navigate through day to day difficulties? Do you need assistance in accessing your strengths?

Are you feeling depressed, alone, or anxious? Are you struggling with an addiction? Are you tired of fighting with your partner? Do you want to heal after a break-up or divorce? Do you want to stop attracting the same partners in your life and start dating consciously? If you answered YES to any of these questions, chances are you feel frustrated, confused, and alone. The good news is that solutions do exist for you. We have helped many individuals, couples and families reach higher ground with an action-oriented approach to healing.

A person coming to me may be feeling despondent, depressed, over-anxious & needs a most personal kind of support. He/she may struggle with a life-circumstance change, loneliness, un-remitting sorrow or grief, or confusions of how to manage a change in life-circumstance. People seek me out for help with long-standing emotional problems that have in some way spoiled relationships, or progress in their careers. He/she needs experienced help in learning how to be a more confident and resourceful parent or partner in a relationship or marriage.

We all live in a world of stories... The meaning we attach to these stories become a template of how we feel about ourselves. The emotional outcome of this thinking can be depression, anxiety and at other times, happiness. What is the meaning of these stories? I believe facts bring us to knowledge, but stories lead us to wisdom. Therapy is a creative and supportive process of getting to know your true self, of re-authoring the old story and writing a new one. Discover who you are... apart from the problem, and find a unexpected path to build inner strength and resources. We all have within us access to a greater wisdom, but we may not know this until we speak out loud. In a place that feels safe enough for us to talk about what is really going on in our lives without fear of being judged, abandoned, or criticized. I bring to therapy a combination of insight, intuition, emotional support and guidance. Therapy can be done through visual storytelling (Art Therapy), writing, and talking with a therapist. Someone who attends to you with acceptance, support and genuine curiosity, exploring how you make sense of your world.

People who come to see me are often dealing with painful life-altering changes, depression, or anxiety. Some have long-standing emotional problems that have affected relationships or progress in their careers. People who have had therapy in the past and found it helpful are seeking to learn and understand more about their strengths and vulnerabilities. Frequently couples are struggling to recapture good feelings they once had with each other. Others want to recover from discovered infidelity. With my help they seek to manage the guilt, devastation and pain of lost trust so they may create a new relationship on sturdier ground.

At Boulevard Therapy, we believe that life is a journey, and that we often benefit sharing our journey with someone who can help us to navigate life's unexpected or unfamiliar territories. Often the journey can become more difficult when we are overwhelmed with life's stress and challenges, leaving us feeling immobilized, out of control, confused, and/or in despair. Sometimes another perspective is beneficial as we navigate these paths.
