Individual Therapy
I see individuals for therapy on a selective basis. My orientation for individual therapy integrates a variety of theoretical frameworks[1] which I see as sharing many common ideas in addition to having their separate identities. Central to me are the importance of the therapeutic relationship, empathy, and emotional attunement. I consider each client as unique and tailor my therapy as much as possible according to her or his needs, style and personality. My in-depth experience and understanding of couples work gives me special insights into relationship issues, which are often a souce of other dissatisfactions and life difficulties.
The following are some areas that I typically help individuals with:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Relationship concerns
- Family relationships
- Self-esteem
- Parenting
- Shyness and other social concerns
- Stress
- Work issues
Please call for a free phone consultation whether or not what you are seeking help for is on the above list. We can discuss your interests in person and see whether we would be a good fit or what alternate courses of action I could recommend.
[1] The frameworks I draw on include attachment theory, psychodynamic (STDP and AEDP), cognitive-behavioral, Gestalt, neuropsychology, EMDR, positive and mindfulness psychologies, and family and systems theory.
