Therapists in Rutland County, VT

I help individuals and couples who want to improve the quality of their relationships - to others and to themselves. I help people who want to communicate better, who want to listen to and understand their partner better, and who want to get more of a handle on their reactions. I also work with individuals who want to feel less stressed, who want to feel better about who they are, who want more clarity, and who know that a greater sense of fulfillment and peace is possible. To get the best sense of what I offer, please visit my website. Offering both in-person and video for VT. And video only in CA for the present time being.

I'm dedicated to helping individuals discover and enhance their emotional capacities. I hope to raise awareness within the sense of self, leading to stronger interpersonal relationships and a more fulfilling life. Through the therapeutic experience of being understood by another in a safe and genuine relationship, individuals develop an increased kindness for themselves and others, and are able to experience a more authentic view of themself. This self-awareness often leads us to new ways of relating to others, increased awareness and tolerance for difficult emotions, and the transformation of destructive patterns in our lives.

In summary, I am a licensed psychologist-doctorate who has been providing psychological services to adults and older adults since 1992. Conditions treated include anxiety, depression, anger management, grief/bereavement, life transition difficulties, relationship, and physical health problems. Psychological testing services (personality or cognitive/capacity testing) are offered as well. Providing services for all genders, faiths, and orientations.

My clients are often younger adults (20's-40's) and include anyone with some desire to grow their understanding of their true selves, the purpose of and vision for their life, and how in daily/weekly practice to live a coherent and happier life (relationships, career, family...) towards these. While their longing & readiness for these is strongest, we work more intensively for some months (not years) before a break. My couples, also often 20's-40's, tend to hire me when they feel these longings together & often in phases of growth induced by stress/strain, opportunity (or both) in the relationship, like having a child or moving.

**To set up initial session please use contact form located in www.CodyThomasRounds.com Website (link to <= Left).** I work with Men, Couples and Older Adolescents. Focusing on the treatment of Depression, Anger, Social/Anxiety, Career Concerns, Life Transitions, Learning Disabilities, and Relationship Issues. I believe personal growth can be achieved through a combination of exploring one’s unique personal story and demystifying the human psychological process through easily accessible instruction in a safe therapeutic environment.

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.

Regardless of the form our individual struggles take in this world, I believe the solution is sourced from the same place: recognition of who we truly are, perfect expressions of love. My approach to therapy combines spiritual, scientific (quantum physics), and psychological truths. The fundamental premise of everything I convey to clients is that all of our apparent problems are in our minds and are very much within our power to change. I have recently found that I have a strength and love for teaching couples how to communicate authentically, lovingly, and constructively to work through misunderstandings.

In a nutshell, my approach to psychotherapy is best described as a collaborative exploration of how our past experiences affect how we experience life in the present. Through better understanding of our own internal and external worlds, greater integration of emotional experience can occur, more positive meaning about ourselves, others, and life in general can be made, and authentic personal growth will result. Not only can distressing symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma, be reduced, but more full, satisfying, and resilient lives can be achieved.

I consider myself a generalist. I work from a point of view guided by what I learned in grad school integrated into the life I've lived so far. I am a student of my own continued experience and hope to inspire others to understand the relationship they have with theirs. Also, I offer support and guidance for individuals living with anxiety and or depression, chronic illness, pain, and the pre and post-operative experiences related to surgeries, I welcome all people from all backgrounds including those who are neurodivergent.

 I work with individuals aged 14 and older, as well as couples.

Trained and experienced in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems, I offer counseling to adults, teens, and families that combines strength-based approaches which respect each client's unique history and growth process. I work together with each client to develop treatment goals which reflect that client's hopes and dreams. Client goals may include personal growth, less conflict and more rewarding relationship, family, or work experiences, and release from the haunting effects of the past. For teens and young adults, facilitating the learning of safer alternatives than high-risk behaviors, and a stable satisfying journey towards independence and adulthood.

Everyone has their own path in life and their own meanings to make from their experiences. I believe therapy is a place to uncover what is authentic and true for you. Together, we will explore your patterns of relationship with others as a way to connect more deeply with yourself. For couples, we will work on communicating honestly and explore the defenses and dynamics that impact your ability to work together.

I am a licensed psychologist working with individuals and couples [college-aged to senior adults]. As a result of my experiences and specialized training, I have learned to respect each person's innate ability to thrive and live fully. I describe my role as an experienced guide and companion for clients who want to change the patterns of their lives by re-connecting with their unique strengths. Psychotherapy is a process and I will encourage you to actively participate. Working together, I am confident you will make changes that will benefit you, your loved ones, and those around you.

Is your marriage in trouble? Have you been trying to find a good solution and haven't found the right help yet? No one is ever taught how to be in a healthy romantic relationship, so it's not surprising that 50% of marriages end in divorce while another 30% of couples report significant challenges. If you have been struggling with communication issues, resentment, an affair, or a sexless marriage, then I can help. Unfortunately, almost half of the couples who get divorced report they regret it later. So before you make such an important decision about your future, let me help you give your marriage the best chance at success.
