Please note: I am no longer accepting Anthem Blue Cross Insurance. When we are faced with a crisis, transition, or other stressful life situation we want to be comforted, supported, and given direction; in other words, we want to feel better. While we can often receive useful help from friends and family it often isn't sufficient to resolve the issue or prevent it from reoccurring. Old habits and patterns tend to be stubborn but change is possible. In my view, real and lasting growth begins with the willingness to try new approaches to old problems.
I think what makes psychotherapy worthwhile is its ability to help you to learn something new about yourself. I believe greater insight and self-understanding can revolutionize your relationships, improve your self-esteem, and help you make better choices for yourself. Often the answers you're seeking are already within you waiting to be discovered.
I have successfully treated many individuals, couples and families who initially were wary of therapy and were concerned that it reflected some kind of personal weakness. I think just the opposite is true- that it requires real courage to examine one's life honestly and to be open to new ways of thinking, feeling, and living.
