PSYCHOTHERAPY

Conversation is at the heart of almost all our services. Our goal is to develop a partnership where you, as our client, can:

  • talk about what's truly important to you

  • experience deep listening on your concerns

  • strategize how to best achieve your goals

  • benchmark progress, determine what's working and what isn't as you move along

  • be accountable for your commitments

  • celebrate your strengths and successes

    OBJECTIVES

Everyone's goals are unique. Sometimes the purpose of counseling is to develop goals -- a sense of where you're at now and what you want. Having clear objectives isn't necessary to begin getting help.

Some of the common counseling targets include ADD, anxiety, depression, headaches, migraines, communications and conflict, sleep issues, trauma, managing stress, building relationships.

BENEFITS: The Joy of Progress!

Progress on goals often affects more than one area of your life, sometimes unintentionally, often quite positively. Examples:

  • A wife of a depression patient told me she was grateful her partner was more willing to plan vacations. This gives the whole family much-needed rest and fun.

  • The husband of an ADD client loved it when she was able to stop her stimulant medication. It had made her quite irritable with him and the kids.

  • The spouse of a fire-phobia client noted that when his wife's phobia went away, she took up bowling with him and began enjoying trying new foods.

  • An executive achieved a significant decrease in her migraine frequency. She now uses the breathing technique I taught her, on her kids if they wake up during the night. It helps them calm down and get back to sleep.

TOOLS

In the counseling process, it can be valuable to include tools such as assessments of behavioral style, depression, or emotional intelligence or to use behavioral trackers. (Neuroscience tools including The Listening Program here.)

If needed, we can delve into deeper emotional territory in conversation to tackle sources of stress, anxiety, phobias, and depression. EMDR is a useful tool for that.

What’s EMDR?  

EMDR helps release negative beliefs and behavior by using eye movements to process traumatic memories. It helps those stuck or haunted by memories which intrude into their night or day-to-day lives. More on what EMDR is and how it works in an article by founder Dr. Francine Shapiro in BrainWorld.com.
