Taking the step to enter therapy can be incredibly scary because you may wonder about, whether you’ll feel comfortable or safe to talk about your stuff. I want you to know that, no problem is too big or small for me to explore with you. Therapy can be a space for you to vent, heal, learn about yourself, obtain tools and skills, bounce ideas or get advice/solutions. It can be what you need it to be.

What do you notice in the quiet moments of your life? It might be self-criticism, guilt, or shame. Maybe you get stuck in the past, trying to figure out what went wrong, or preparing for every possible future scenario. For some people, there are no quiet moments, and for others, every second feels like deafening silence, even in a crowded room. Superficial interactions leave us feeling unseen, ignored, and alone. You deserve a time and space to be fully present and authentic without fear of judgment, dismissal, or empty platitudes.

Starting on the path of counseling or therapy can be a bit intimidating. However, it doesn’t need to be. Working in a friendly and caring environment and with an understanding and caring counselor can make the process easier, more comfortable, and even fun. Sometimes we may feel as though we are broken; but I don’t believe anyone is actually broken, they are just doing something in a way that they wish they weren’t. The trick is to find a new way, an enjoyable way, a way that rejuvenates, reinvigorates, and brings zest to life. To learn more please reach out or schedule an appointment on my website. I'm happy to help : )

Humanistic Therapists

How does humanistic therapy work?

One tenet of humanistic therapy is that people are good. The humanistic approach is concerned with a person’s ability to accept oneself. It likewise encourages a person to overcome self-criticism and self-defeating tendencies, as well as disapproval from others. This approach also emphasizes self-actualization and treating an individual as a whole person. A foundation of this therapy type: The patient is the expert in their life, and treatment often takes the individual’s lead.

Is humanistic therapy evidence-based?

Humanistic therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has found that humanistic therapy can lead to significant improvement, and for some people it can be just as effective as other therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy. The benefits of humanistic therapy are enduring.

How long does humanistic therapy last?

The goal of humanistic therapy is to understand a person’s day-to-day experiences. While sessions can be short-term and last over a few months, therapy can sometimes continue beyond that and last up to a year or more. And because patients learn the theory behind humanistic therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.

Is humanistic therapy effective?

According to research, many patients find success with humanistic therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in addressing poor self-esteem and self-sabotage, as well as improving conditions including anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can be long standing, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve learned during treatment.
