Therapy is right for anyone interested in pursuing their best and brightest life. It can help you elevate your relationships and increase your self-awareness and feelings of empowerment.
Many people come to therapy to work on personal exploration and personal growth. A therapist can provide insight, support, and different strategies for most aspects of your life. They can help you enhance what is working, and also help you get through the rougher patches.
Therapy is right for anyone who wants healing and wholeness, in their life and relationships.
There are many reasons why people come to therapy. Sometimes it is to deal with long-standing feelings of anxiety or depression.
Other times it’s in response to unexpected changes in one’s life such as a divorce or work transition (or a pandemic!).
Some of the many reasons people come to us are:
- depression
- anxiety
- relationship troubles
- unresolved childhood issues
- grief and loss
- stress management
- body image issues
- creative blocks
- traumatic events
Many people find that a counselor can be a tremendous asset to helping their personal growth, improving interpersonal relationships, resolving family concerns, confronting marital issues, and even finding peace from the stress of daily life.
As your therapist I can provide a fresh perspective on a difficult problem. The benefits of therapy always depend on how well you use the process and put into practice what you learn.
Especially right now, in our very uncertain and chaotic times, it is the perfect time to seek support from a trained therapist.
There are so many things that might be standing in the way of you being all you can be, as well as having your most connected, loving relationships. I can help you identify and clear out the things that are holding you back.
This might be past trauma or learning to ride the current waves of uncertainty in our world (COVID). Whatever your challenge is I can help you learn to deal with it differently. I can help you reach your highest potential and uncover your brilliance, as well as offering support, new coping strategies and problem-solving skills.
Your first session will be a lot about you and I getting to know each other and seeing if we are a good fit. The relationship between you and your therapist matters a lot. In fact, it is one of the most important factors for effective therapy. I place great importance on acceptance, welcome, and care. I hope that you feel each of these things in all your interactions with me.
From this foundation, you will explore the things that are standing in your way. The things stopping you from reaching your potential and having your best relationships. First, I’ll will listen and ask questions. Then, you will do a lot of slowing down and paying attention to what is happening inside of you and the meaning you make of it. I will be holding the light for you to journey to your best self. Together you and I will help you break free from the chains of the past and live your best life.
Therapy usually involves a series of weekly sessions. Each session lasts around fifty minutes. Therapy can be short-term, focusing on a specific issue. It can also be longer-term, addressing more complex issues or ongoing personal growth. Therapy is not a quick fix for a problem. It is an ongoing process of inner exploration with a guide.
The benefits of therapy are proven and wide-reaching. Some of the its many benefits include:
- Understanding yourself, your goals and values better
- Developing skills for improving your relationships
- Finding resolution to the issues or concerns that led you to seek therapy
- Learning new ways to cope with stress and anxiety
- Managing anger, grief, depression, and other emotional pressures
- Improving communications and listening skills
- Changing old behavior patterns and developing new ones
- Discovering new ways to solve problems in your family or relationship
- Improving your self-esteem and boosting self-confidence
- Increased authenticity (decreased anxiety!)
- Feeling more empowered
The therapist-client relationship is sacred, and generally whatever you say in sessions is confidential.
However, there are a few, very specific circumstances (outlined below) which I am legally obligated to report to the
authorities.
- Suspected child abuse or dependent adult or elder abuse. In this instance, I am required to report this to the appropriate authorities immediately.
- If a client is threatening serious bodily harm to another person. I am required to notify the police.
- If a client intends to harm himself or herself. I will make every effort to work with the individual to ensure their safety. However, if an individual does not cooperate, additional measures may need to be taken.
Aside from these very specific situations, everything you say to your therapist is said in total confidence. No exceptions.
Therapy is highly individual and can be a truly transformative process.
