Do you remember what your relationship used to feel like? Time goes by, things happen and you and your partner begin to feel the distance and dissatisfaction. You and/or your partner may be wondering: How can I have recreated my parent's relationship? Why are we having the same old arguments about money, kids, sex, in-laws etc.? Why do we communicate like we are from two different planets? How can I be attracting the same type of unhealthy relationship again? Why do I feel judged, misunderstood, alone, and unloved? How can I feel so angry, sad or anxious all the time? Why does he/she always need to be right? Why can't he/she commit? Should I stay or leave? Let us help you to recreate the loving relationship you once had You may be wondering why the relationship you are in feels so familiar? Well it is! In some mystical way we are drawn to our relationships in an unconscious attempt to repair the emotional wounds of childhood. We are unintentionally recreating home. With greater conscious awareness you can begin to create a new vision for your relationship. You will experience how the relationship becomes an opportunity to be in service to your own growth and healing. Your relationship will never be like the first date or first year but you may come to experience a deeper more profound mature love that is only possible with years together. I acknowledge your courage for taking the first step to get the support you need in order to create a deeper, more intimate and meaningful relationship and experience more joy and enthusiasm in your life.

“I value the human heart, soul, and spirit. I am a seasoned psychotherapist with 25 years of clinical practice. I am aware that we all experience times of darkness, and deep sorrow.

Holistic, integrative counseling and therapy approach addresses a full range of mental health and emotional issues, including ADHD, addictions, bipolar, anxiety, depression, PTSD, sleep difficulties, OCD, trauma, anger, grief, phobias, weight management, spiritual issues, relationship and marital issues, and more. Therapies include cognitive and psychodynamic approaches along with hypnosis, energy psychology, psychospiritual life coaching, and various mind-body stress release and stress management techniques. Sessions are available for children, adolescents, and adults. In home therapy and phone sessions are also available, as well as family and group therapy. Jed provides lectures, presentations, and workshops in the community and has worked with clients from South Florida and around the world. The holistic approach involves looking at the whole person and the whole system. Holistic therapies often seek to address the unconscious aspects of our mind. For example, hypnosis or energy psychology might be provided to help a person change habits like smoking or overeating or break free of old fears and phobias. Much of human life involves patterns that are happening unconsciously. Our subconscious programming guides our habits and reactions. Some of that programming may be dysfunctional and can sabotage our health and our ability to succeed toward our goals. The sessions offered are designed to assist you in addressing your concerns or reaching your goals, providing valuable resources to help you transform yourself and enhance your life. Counseling and other therapies are resources for you to use in making the commitment to improve your life and become the person you desire to be. You can inquire today to see if these services are suitable for you. Jed Shlackman, M.S. Ed., LMHC has been providing counseling in the Miami area since 1997.

“I am a practitioner and teacher of Integrative Psychotherapy for over thirty years. My approach to wellness recognizes the interconnection between mind, body and spirit and offers a natural way of attaining inner clarity, personal fulfillment, and physical and emotional health. Our work together is NOT a prolonged process but rather an intense learning experience. I teach you specific tools for becoming your own authority in your pursuit towards a happier and more balanced way of life. During our work together, I will offer guidance in helping you to:gain a holistic understanding of your life challenge, problem and/or illness; discover and release emotional toxins;use powerful mental techniques for symptom relief and problem resolution;implement life changes needed to achieve and maintain optimal health. To achieve these goals I utilize: mental imagery, voluntary will training, dreamwork, cognitive-behavioral approach, clinical hypnosis, psycho-physiognomy, EFT, and spiritual counseling. I have helped thousands of clients to achieve their goals, ranging from overcoming panic attacks and depression, to saving marriages and healing from serious physical illnesses.”

Although often difficult periods of change can give us opportunities to bring our lives more in alignment with what has true value and meaning for ourselves. I work with people during important transitions in their lives, for instance either starting or leaving a significant job or relationship. Communication, trust, intimacy and/ or sexual issues win your relationship? I am very comfortable working with traditional, open/ poly and queer relationships. I can assist you and your partner(s) to develop better communication and understanding around sensitive topics such as betrayal, intimacy and trust. I use an approach called EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) developed by Dr Sue Johnson. Clinical research shows that 90% of couples report significant improvement within 12-20 sessions of EFT. As former Director of the Eating Disorders program at Community Institute of San Rafael, Marin, I work with people who obsess that if they only had the perfect weight their lives would work out. So many of us through over dieting and body hatred have lost our connection to ourselves. The body instead of being home for our psyche/ spirit becomes the battleground. I work with clients to end their battle with food and their bodies. Look at my video describing the popular teleclass series for how to empower yourself during the holidays especially when dealing with stressors around food and family: "Empower Don't Devour!' Do you feel emotionally stuck in the past? You might be suffering from trauma. I help my clients move through past traumatic experiences using EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing) This well researched method has fast and effective results in working with people suffering from trauma. I also help my clients release the cellular and muscular memory of the trauma (which is where trauma is often stored) using somatic psychotherapy. This is an approach that taps into body awareness and mindfulness, which does not involve touch. Finally I have found Depth Hypnosis to be a highly effective tool for helping my clients get out of stuck places and create the change they want.

Do you struggle with anxiety, fears and phobias or flashbacks and panic attacks. These symptoms of anxiety also cause depression. Have you tried to get rid of these symptoms using talk therapies alone? Have you been disappointed with those results? EMDR is an evidenced based therapy which lessens feelings of shame, fear, and other feelings that hold self judgment and self limiting beliefs . Beliefs are important because they drive our livesIf (especially the beliefs that are unconscious). EMDR is a process that can easily change your perspective and disempower these limiting beliefs. I use EMDR and EFT (emotional freedom techniques) for faster relief of symptoms of sadness, shame, and fears. These are the 2 therapy techniques that bring the fastest relief to clients in emotional pain.

It has been my privilege to work with people to assist them in finding their own inner strengths and their path to wellness as they overcome the challenges we all can face in our lives. The answers to the blocks we all experience are found within, and though we struggle to identify them, implement those answers, and find clarity, as a team the journey can be much easier. I join with my clients to forge the way with joy, and hope while maintaining a safe, grounded space from which to work. Compassion, acceptance, and patience hold the client in his or her truth, and form the basis of a strong and effective therapeutic relationship, and this relationship is the essential element for the trust that is needed to address difficult issues and make changes that can lead to a fuller and more rewarding life. One of the tools that I have used with great success in working with my clients is EMDR. EMDR is a relatively new psychotherapeutic treatment tool, which I am pleased to offer to my clients. Developed just a couple of decades ago. Now practiced all over the world it offers rapid results with a variety of issues that clients frequently bring to the therapeutic process. EMDR is stated to be the foremost treatment tool in major trauma such as combat, or child abuse, but is also used effectively for lifelong challenges that may be based on "minor" traumas that have left negative self beliefs behind such as "I am worthless" or "I don't deserve..." that can affect and limit any aspect of an individual's life. The EMDR technique, which is simple, safe and yields rapid results, involves bilateral stimulation of the left and right brain hemispheres via either eye movements fro

I care about helping people move toward psychological wellness and motivating and inspiring them to reach goals. I consider therapy to be a valuable component of the walk of one's inner journey toward self completion. Psycho-education permits understanding of the origin of problematic symptoms, and how an individual became well. This type of knowledge creates skills that are transferable across life events and time.

NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS CURRENTLY. Caring empathy.Learn to Find Happiness in all the right places. Many of us need support to integrate our emotional, intellectual, & spiritual awareness with life dreams, sexual relationships, & day-to-day commitments. I help my clients recognize and work through repressed or misdirected anger & other destructive patterns which inhibit self growth, self respect, intimacy, spirituality, or commitment in relationships. I help both individuals and couples, including treating anxiety, menopause, post traumatic stress, dissociation and life changes. We may work intensively (at least two hours a week) for short, contracted periods of time such as 2 or 3 months. During that period of meeting a minimum of two days a week, the therapy has the opportunity to build in intensity and increase its effectiveness. After that much intense, introspective work, we take a break for integration of the work on your own. First we negotiate the time period of the break, and if needed, a re-starting time. This empowering time period gives my clients a personal space to assimilate the work and let any positive changes be felt and integrated. I find that for many people this is the fastest way through change and/or crisis. If needed, I am always available by phone or email during the hiatus in therapy. I use a variety of techniques including EMDR, shamanic journey, hypnosis and imagery, talk, homework --whatever works at the time. Many of these techniques, useful life tools, can be incorporated by my clients into their everyday lives. I invite you to consider this form of intensive, condensed therapy as a useful way of dealing with our present life stresses and crises, although I am also available for once a week sessions as well.

You may have found this listing in a focused search for a healing solution for your traumatized, attachment challenged child or RAD diagnosed child within your family. You came to the right spot. I work with individuals, couples, and families utilizing attachment therapies designed to address underlying emotional difficulties associate with parent/child challenges in the first few years of life. I am experienced in couples attachment therapy and emotionally focused therapy approaches that are proven effective with adults. Also, I specifically specialize in treating children and adolescents who may have experienced trauma due to childhood abuse, neglect, abandonment, multiple foster family placements, and/or adoption. These children have already experienced harm and I take great care not to cause them to be re-traumatized by the clinical interventions that are designed to help them heal and grow into healthy individuals. My therapeutic approach is proven effective in reducing the behavioral symptoms that are often associated with a variety of disorders, including Complex Developmental Trauma, Reactive Attachment Disorder, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder, and others.

You do not have to figure this out alone. There is hope. Your child can grow to express love more freely, and your family can live peacefully together.

Many of my clients have tried talk therapy and found that they had limited results. That's because most issues reside in the subconscious mind, and simply discussing the problem is a conscious mind activity. I help clients access subconscious material directly through experiential methods that include EMDR, EFT, Hypnotherapy and Gestalt therapy. Many clients find that these methods work quickly and effectively to access and begin to transform unwanted beliefs and patterns. I work intuitively and encourage my clients to enhance their own intuitive sense, learning to listen to and trust their own inner wisdom. As a Certified Life Coach, I sometimes work with clients to create the life they always wanted and to learn to fulfill their life purpose. I take Blue Cross / Blue Shield, Tufts, United, and Harvard Pilgrim. Out-of-pocket charges are $120 per session.

Inevitably, in life we each encounter obstacles, many of which are smaller hurdles we can jump and overcome on our own while others prove more challenging, often leaving us overwhelmed with feelings of anxiety, frustration, or sadness. While these are typical stress reactions, it is possible to get relief, alleviating this discomfort and allowing us to feel more content. It is during these times of struggle that stepping-stones such as counseling and energy work can guide us on our path to growth while helping us create the peace and stability we are seeking.

My approach to psychotherapy is humanistic, psycho-dynamic and relational. I view healing of the whole person as part of an individual’s natural development and growth. This therapeutic process provides an introspective, empathetic focus, aimed at understanding, removing emotional blocks and moving toward ongoing growth. After assessing the individual's concerns, needs and goals, I make psychiatric referrals when necessary for prescriptive treatment and work closely with the psychiatrist, so that collaborative treatment planning and treatment options can be considered. I believe the relationship between the client and therapist is where the most significant healing occurs. Psychotherapy becomes a creative process, incorporating mindful attentiveness to one's self as well as the self of the other. The healing of mind, body and spirit merges into a solid foundation of the integrated self. Through the use of a variety of approaches such as psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral and attachment theory, I offer a warm, accepting environment for the disclosure of emotions, experiences and secrets that may be difficult to discuss or have been held inside. Throughout our work together, we will bring awareness and light to the areas of your life where you feel stuck. Therapy can be a place to unravel your life story in order to “make sense” of it. The weaving of past stories, events, feelings and traumas, with current emotions, patterns, stressors and events will enable you to integrate the past with the present.

Male & female therapists specializing in a wide variety of problems and treatment solutions. Day, evening, and weekend appointments available. Most major insurance accepted. Conveniently located in the S. Bay area of Los Angeles for over 30 years. Telephones answered 24/7. The learning and the healing that occurs during Psychotherapy and/or Counseling requires an active effort on the part of the client for the therapy to be successful. We strive to maintain the privacy of our clients so that you can feel comfortable sharing very personal matters and participating in the therapeutic process. Psychotherapy involves letting your therapist get to know you. In the course of doing so your therapist will begin to say things to you that help you develop a better self-awareness. We will help you realize skills you possess that you can utilize to help yourself and to get along better with others. We will often suggest ways that you can test ideas or practice new skills during the time between appointments. Psychotherapy has been shown to be very helpful. It can help lead to better relationships, improved communication, and a significant reduction of feelings of unhappiness or distress. It can help you resolve specific problems, or increase the range of choices in your life so that it can be more satisfying and productive. You should be aware that sometimes clients that start therapy feel worse before feeling better. Psychotherapy sometimes involves recalling unpleasant aspects of your past history. Our job is to help you understand and cope with all of this in a way that helps you to feel better and have a better future. Our staff is experienced in a wide range of therapeutic styles. Each of us has individual interests and skills. We work together as a team when different family members need different kinds of help. We are glad to coordinate our efforts with other professionals that might be helping you at the same time (such as your medical doctor). We try very hard to protect the privacy of our clients. California law protects the confidentiality of communications between a client and a mental health provider. Information about our clients is only released when we have your permission. We will always discuss with you, in advance, how we want to respond to requests from others about you.

Anger is just energy we generate when there is a difference between what we want and what we have. There are two types of anger, corrosive anger and authentic anger. Corrosive anger is just energy to change what is, to something worse. Corrosive anger is just unhealthy energy and the ultimate source of our lack of health, abundance and joy. Authentic anger is just energy to change what is, to something better. Authentic anger is just healthy energy and can produce a Garden of Eden on our planet. My publications and coaching are concerned with helping to make you aware of how you can choose to transform your corrosive energy into your authentic healing energy. You can then choose to live a better life, on your journey to the life of your dreams. Only hire me when you are ready to find out how to transform your corrosive energy into useful authentic healing energy to do what you really want to do at your highest levels. Only hire me when you are ready to be grateful and responsible for your own past and present results. One of the major premises of my publications and coaching is that we are totally responsible for our own results from our own decisions. We are the ones who decide what to accept, reject or modify from others. We are the ones who got ourselves to where we are and have made countless previous decisions, including how to respond to the decisions of others. My responsibility is to write and tell what I know has worked for me and some others in my experiences and what I believe so far. I only know what works best for me and some others. You will need to determine what works best for you, since everyone is unique. It is up to you, to find your own inner and outer team resources and your own choice of your spiritual growth path. When you need medical or other information, please go to the medical or other experts of your choice. I am not here for direction, I am just producing information for your consideration and choice. My emphasis is on spiritual health, wealth, and happiness. What happens on the physical level may be or may not be as rapid as what happens on the spiritual level.

My approach to therapy is to at first listen to and understand the issues that are most important to you. Your feelings are valid, and I want to understand you and the concerns that you have. My role is to guide you in finding new solutions to problems, new ways in which to view issues, and to increase the possible options about how to address your concerns. I believe that therapy is a partnership. We can work together to identify what is concerning you, what you want to change, and to set realistic goals. We can discuss a time frame for therapy. Some people want short-term specific goal oriented therapy. You might need to address something that is currently occurring that is very troublesome. There may be specific life issues or problems that you are experiencing for which you want relief or to become unstuck. Some of these issues might be related to family, marital, or other relationship problems, anxiety, grief, employment, or other life issues and stressors. You may want longer-term therapy. Perhaps you are looking for support in managing and coping with a chronic medical condition, pain, mental health issues, a loss, trauma, or alcohol and substance abuse. Whatever your issues and concerns, we can work together to meet your specific needs. I wish to offer you a safe, quiet, pleasant atmosphere in which to discuss your personal concerns.

Feel free to contact me with your questions and to further inquire about whether I am the right therapist for you.

I have been in private practice for over twenty years and have helped many people overcome issues affecting their lives. I work with all populations except children. If you are having problems in your life, whether it's loneliness, the desire for a relationship, relationship issues including infidelity, boredom or sexual issues, anxiety, depression, job unhappiness, creative blocks, feelings of emptiness or failure, grief, trauma, low self-esteem, childhood issues or struggling with alcoholism, I can help you heal and become all that you want to be and were meant to be. I am interactive, supportive, and join with my clients, helping them find solutions to their problems. I also coach people regarding life issues and job issues. If you are living outside of California, I can't be your therapist but I can coach you for all problems, except severe depression or severe mental illness, via telephone, email, or video conferencing. I see or hear sessions via doxy.me or phone I am available for phone sessions and email sessions until very late in the evening. I generally don't do sessions after one am.

I work with adolescents and adults. My specialties are anxiety and mood disorders, couple therapy, trauma and loss, clinical hypnosis and EMDR and schema therapy. Typically, I do brief therapy --6-12 sessions. I am seeing a few patients for longer periods of time. I see myself as a coach and facilitator. For me, therapy is a collaborative relationship where therapist and patient go on a shared journey for a limited time. The journey is rewarding yet difficult, hard work but rewarding. There is no magic wand in therapy as in life. My focus is primarily on the present and future. Collaboration, feedback from both therapist and patient, honesty, skill training within a confidential, safe relationship are the keys to effective psychotherapy. I am comfortable dealing with spiritual issues if they impact a person's difficulties. As a clergyman and psychologist, I recognize that a healthy spirituality can be an important resources in the healing process. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation so a seeker of therapy services can get some feel for how I am. Whatever the therapist s theoretical orientation., the research says that it is the "fit" between therapist and patients that contributes mightily to a positive outcome. At the intake interview, a careful assessment is made and we go over treatment options. An informed patient gets the most out of therapy.

Co-Operative Partners in Therapy, LLC was established in 1996 to provide Individual, Family, Couple, Adolescent, and Group counseling in a confidential & comfortable setting. In addition we provide Psychological Testing, Court Assessments, Mediation, and in-home Comprenensive Geriatric Assessments. Our Experience with Families, Trauma Survivors, & Adolescents led to the formation that a persons thoughts, beliefs & behaviors are the combined result of the interplay and action of Biology + Psychology+ Environment + Spirituality. Therefore, in order for healing & behavioral change to take place each of these elements must be assessed & brought into balance, taking into account the clients wants, needs & level of development. Counseling is a collaborative process that encourages the acquisition of self-knowledge, cognitive restructuring & behavioral change.

I am a NY State licensed psychoanalyst. My clinical approach is psycho-dynamically based, which means that I focus on unconscious factors that underlie one's problems. However, I recognize that some problems may respond better to a different orientation. When appropriate, I work eclectically, incorporating other therapy models, including EMDR and hypnotherapy. In my experience, professional orientation is not what matters most in the therapeutic process. Far more important is the quality of the alliance between patient and therapist. I work with a diverse patient population, from children and adolescents to adults, including seniors. Treatment modalities include individual therapy, couples and family group sessions. I provide a comfortable therapeutic environment to work with patients on achieving a secure sense of self, increased self-esteem and a sound relationship with self and others. In private practice for over 20 years, I have extensive experience working with depression, anxiety and phobias, relationship issues, anger management, sexual identity issues, grief and loss. Additionally, I frequently work with bipolar and borderline patients My work schedule offers daytime and evening appointments; my fee schedule is flexible.

All of us run into life struggles at some point in time. Sharing the challenge with someone else can be the difference that makes the difference. With ample opportunity to talk about all that’s bothering you, we can also focus on possible solutions or ways to manage the situation. Though the atmosphere is friendly, and it times it may feel like you’re talking with an understanding friend, the difference is that the focus is on your concerns.

We all want to be physically and emotionally fit - to experience energy, creativity, inner peace, joy, and positive relationships. Often this process seems to flow effortlessly, and we experience the fullness and richness of life without effort. At other times, life stresses may get in the way, creating depression, anxiety, and relationship problems. Sometimes we just feel confused, frustrated, and stuck. At those times it helps to have a collaborator, someone with the kind of experience to help sort things out and find our way out of the problem; someone who can help us recognize our strengths, resources, and resiliencies, and move toward solutions. This has been my life's work and my passion for 20 years. If you'd like to talk to me please give me a call.
