Couples Counseling Therapists in Burlington, VT

*NEW CLIENTS PLEASE REACH OUT USING EMAIL FIRST! (Easier for me to respond and get things started) I work well with clients seeking presence, compassion, and the space for vulnerability across a broad range of presenting concerns. My personal style supports witnessing and unburdening as much as "diagnosis" and "treatment". I offer validation and acceptance within a co-created relationship. Warmth and humor are necessary touchstones while we explore the arc of life.

Are you wishing to connect more with others? Do you feel detached from your partner ? Are you experiencing a sense of overwhelm or anxiety? Are you noticing more conflict or stress in your family? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you may consider talking with a supportive professional. Over the years, my focus has developed into an insight-oriented, strength and relationship-based approach. I incorporate the most up-to-date neuroscience research, mind-body awareness, and self-regulation techniques that support families, individuals, and adolescents in achieving their goals.

The ideal clients I am reaching out to are interested in participating in teletherapy, either individually or as couples . Due to a number of breaking developments, I have decided to convert my long-running practice to online therapy. I have professional counseling licenses in Vermont, MIssouri, and Illinois. I work from Missouri. Furthermore, I am seeking clients who prefer to work outside of the insurance system. I am rebooting my practice to offer high-qualify and affordable therapy. If you are interested, all you would need is Skype or Zoom (both are free downloads). I am offering 45 minute sessions for $40.

Many people that I see come for help with relationship difficulties. Couples that come to see me typically have concerns about escalating conflict, growing emotional distance, infidelity, sex, or differences in parenting style. I also see individuals who are experiencing distress associated with family or romantic relationships. Such distress may include heartbreak, intrusive anger, sexual performance anxiety, difficulties in “getting over” a past relationship, difficulties associated with early life attachment injuries or intrusive memories associated with family or romantic relationships.

It can have many effects, including fear, anxiety, depression, numbness, negative thoughts, anger, feeling out of control, feeling like it's your fault, not feeling normal, feeling a sense of needing to keep busy, panic, self-harm, self-medicating, relationship difficulties, family difficulties, shutting down, isolating, or being uncomfortable being alone.

A medical diagnoses, loss of a loved one or pet can be overwhelming. I specialize in clients and their families navigating medical illnesses, end-of-life, or grief. I incorporate spirituality when appropriate. I also work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, societal oppression, and women’s issues. My goal is to help clients traverse challenges, discover healthy solutions, develop resilience, build coping skills, and experience inner peace. In my practice, I collaborate with individuals, couples , and families to help them reach their full potential. Please email me detailing your counseling needs.

I work with adults, older adolescents, and couples , and facilitate groups. I treat depression, anxiety, interpersonal difficulties, family of origin issues, OCD, trauma, and grief/loss. Life is difficult and often painful - much more so for some than for others. This pain brings people to therapy to engage in a process that is itself often painful; and yet they do so willingly and with hope. I am continually inspired by my clients as they engage in this process and come to see themselves in new ways, and make choices that allow them to live more fully.

Welcome! I look forward to your call, to discuss your needs regarding psychotherapy. This past year has been difficult for many of us, bringing out anxiety, depression or other difficult emotions or symptoms that may have been lying comfortably dormant as we were leading busy lives. Together we can perhaps use this as an opportunity; a time of growth and working through of issues that otherwise may not have called to us.

I help people live satisfying lives. People come to see me for various reasons. Those reasons include depression, anxiety, relationships, grief, and trauma. Some people have trouble eating, sleeping, having sex, socializing or keeping their bodies safe from harm. I help people understand what they are feeling and how those feelings are being expressed.

Are you ready to find your healing balance? Here at Balance Psychology, we provide evidence-based, collaborative treatment approaches specific to your individual strengths and needs. Our goal, for adults, children, couples and families, is to help you heal and adjust to difficult life circumstances and decrease difficult symptoms. Both therapist and client are actively involved in the process of improving quality of life, reducing symptom frequency and duration, and alleviating mental pain or distress. We are experienced with diverse cultural backgrounds, diagnoses, ages, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and genders.

Each person experiences mental distress uniquely. My aim is to partner with my client to ensure their safety in our shared space, create a bond of trust, and then dive into problems and solutions. Whether one experiences identity- or event-based problems and whether those are caused by individual development or social conditions, I strongly believe in the innate ability of trusting partnerships to overcome the troubles in our lives. If I'm not the right therapist for a person, I will work hard to keep them safe until they decide how to move forward.

My 20+ years of experience has primarily been working with individuals and couples , around issues of relationship, anxiety and depression, life transitions and trauma. I facilitate issue-focused groups, as well as mindfulness-based stress reduction groups. The eclectic way I work is informed by several theories, including transpersonal, psychodynamic, gestalt, feminist therapy, and ecopsychology, as well as by art and literature. Mindfulness meditation and yoga are valuable experiences for me, and I encourage them for those willing or interested. As a former college counseling center director, I have experience with and enjoy working with college students of any age.

I enjoy facilitating individual and couples therapy with adults. As a compassionate, yet assertive clinician, I work with clients to meet self-identified goals. I view myself more as a guide and mentor than expert. My clients have described me as "down to earth" and "personable."
