At MindWell Psychology, Dr. Livia Freier offers traditional couples counseling as well as counseling intensive programs for couples who wish to experience fast progress or those unable to attend weekly sessions.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LICSW, CGP

Psychotherapy doesn't have to be a mysterious process. In both individual and group therapy I work openly with my patients to lay out a path for easing their distress and engaging more happily and effectively in their lives. I try for a balance between exploring the past for insights while also working in the present to make life better. I offer an open, compassionate place to explore how memories, thoughts, and emotions affect and limit people in their current experiences. With those insights I support patients in venturing past familiar limitations to live a better life.

I’ll work with you to increase your confidence, engage with the world around you on your own terms, and decrease the impact of trauma symptoms. Together, we’ll strengthen your ability to manage distressing emotions and familiarize yourself with adaptive thinking strategies. I enjoy working with people of all ages and backgrounds. I appreciate clients who challenge themselves to deepen their knowledge of themselves and work to make stronger choices. I also enjoy working with those who do not like an aspect of their life and are trying to find the motivation to move forward.

MAKING PEACE WITHIN YOURSELF You're feeling bored, anxious, and unsettled during this time of uncertainty. Rather than using your old strategies - compulsively eating, TV binge - watching, or worrying, would you like to use this opportunity to learn new ways to cope - and even thrive?
EMDR Intensives with Neeka Stanley
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LICSW
Verified
Do you want to make a big change in your life? EMDR Therapy intensives give you the opportunity to spend several hours a day, a few days in a row, with one therapist, focusing on your healing. We have all gone through hard things in life and often have internalized negative messages and memories from those times. These can block us from living the lives we really want. EMDR is a therapeutic approach that can heal those stuck memories and free up your energy for growth and new ways of living.

If you have experienced a trauma, I would love to work with you. Helping clients heal from trauma, which includes managing their stress and anxiety, is my area of expertise. Additionally, I’ll work with you to improve your self-esteem, improve your quality of sleep, and strengthen your relationships with others. This is especially true with couples (e.g., positive communication, strengthening bonds, improving sexual health/managing intimacy issues). In addition to individuals who have experienced sexual trauma, I particularly enjoy working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community, children and adolescents, families, and couples.

AS OF 9/2020 I AM NOT TAKING NEW CLIENTS My appreciation for how much our minds, bodies and spirit can hold in reaction to trauma and stress is borne out by my working with people struggling to find their way in this life, their passion and a sense of peace. We can release these accommodations to sadness, fear and hatred---the feelings that illicit the most shame and recrimination, often directed at ourselves, complicating intimacy, trust, a sense of purpose----true connection to ourselves. My hope is to assist in releasing these negative energies.

Therapy is about starting a new relationship that has the potential to help you improve your sense of self, how you see others and how you handle and process your emotions. There is great potential in therapy for you to learn to remove barriers towards emotional growth and to help you feel less blocked or stuck by your past experiences. I’m here to help improve your quality of life and learn to better accept yourself with compassion and less judgment.

If you or you child or teen is struggling with anxiety, relational or social challenges, depression or just plain old daily stress, I am here to help.

Kids especially benefit

Part of the decision to start therapy is the decision to enter into a trusting relationship. The relationship and trust between therapist and client is the basis of healing. I work collaboratively with clients to help define and meet treatment goals in a non-judgmental, kind and relaxed environment. When life feels overwhelming and decision making becomes difficult, finding a safe place to explore your feelings can be the first step towards a happy and balanced life. I love my work and feel privileged to be able to share the journeys of my clients.

Are you unsure which direction you'd like your life to go in? Are you having trouble with sleeping, eating, or motivating yourself? These are just some of the many reasons that people tend to reach out for therapy. However, my clients tend to have one thing in common: they want to feel better. Together, we can work as a team to make this happen. Whether, you'd like help with accomplishing your goals, alleviating stress, or anything in between, my practice is a safe space.

Counselor, LMHC, BCETS

I work within a psychotherapy model that is called AEDP. AEDP is an approach to healing that starts with the premise that all symptoms are creative adaptations to painful or traumatic circumstances. We recognize the resilience underlying symptoms, as opposed to viewing symptoms as a pathological. AEDP is grounded in affective neuroscience and in psychotherapy research.
