The best way to find about me is to check out my web site, dr-rick.com. There, you'll get a good sense of my perspective and how I view life's challenges and opportunities. Don't miss the "blum-blog." My style of practice is ideal for people who want real change in their lives, who expect that their therapist knows how to achieve this, and who are eager to learn about themselves in order to make it happen. The best approach includes our becoming a team, each bringing our part to the adventure.
I work with individuals, couples, and families who are looking for development of emotional well-being, reliable confidence, effective performance, durable love, satisfying success, and profound meaning in their lives. For more, look inside my books (on Amazon) "The Recipe: Love Made Simple" and "The Tao of Your Psychotherapy Practice."
In my practice, I integrate progress in cognitive strategies, present-time awareness (mindfulness), and useful insights about the past. All these are linked through a practical stress-model, that helps us be at our best when it counts most.
