I work collaboratively with clients to better understand their experiences, draw on their strengths, and access their inner resources. In our work together, you’ll have my full attention, presence, and compassionate support, along with insight to help you navigate life’s challenges—whether personal, relational, or professional. I don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. I engage with the whole of who you are—your thoughts, emotions, history, and hopes for the future. It’s deeply meaningful to walk alongside clients as they grow, change, and pursue goals that matter most to them. As a licensed psychoanalyst with a PhD in Organizational Behavior, I bring both clinical expertise and a practical understanding of the unique pressures people face in work, relationships, and life transitions. I have experience supporting clients through career challenges, relationship dynamics, self-discovery, and coping with trauma or life changes. If this approach resonates with you, I invite you to reach out so we can explore how therapy can support your growth and well-being.

We are now offering on-line counseling TR Counseling & Wellness offers individual, couples, and family therapy.

OVERVIEW Together we look at your life to see what works, what doesn’t, and why. We’ll see who you are, the relationships you’re in, and what stops you from having the life you want. We’ll see how you act, think, feel, and relate to others today and how those have been affected by your life experiences. We’ll work to change things so your life does work for you. TRAUMA You may feel anxious, depressed, or alienated. Here you can feel safe, talk honestly about what happened and about how it still affects you, even when other people don't understand or can't stand to hear it any more. I help you understand why you’re reacting as you do, even when you may feel out of control or a little "crazy." You'll learn ways to work through the psychological and emotional impact of what happened so you can get your life back. If you or your family member is a victim of violent crime, you may be eligible for therapy at no cost to you. ADDICTIONS (Substances and Behaviors) You might have difficulty with alcohol or drugs, or you may need help evaluating if that’s true, how great the difficulty is, or what you can do about it. You may also be asking similar questions about sexual behaviors or compulsions, porn, gambling, Internet usage, spending, eating, cutting, or anything else you do that feels questionable or out of control. Some people feel like they are addicted to another person, what sometimes is referred to as "love addiction." GAY/LESBIAN/BISEXUAL ISSUES While I work with heterosexuals, I also work with many gay, bisexual, or lesbian people, both individually and in couples. If you’re in a process of self-discovery, you’ll be the one to decide what your sexual orientation and identity is. If you’re now coming out, together we can consider if, when, how, and with whom you decide to do it. If you’re clear and comfortable with your sexual orientation, I can give you safe place where you can be open about who you and how HIV has impacted your life or your relationships MIND/BODY The mind and body are functionally identical. What you think affects how you feel, and what you feel affects how think. I work at both levels, with people who are interested in doing that. For people who aren't interested in the this work, I am happy to stay strictly in a talk-therapy mode. YOU SET THE COURSE, AND I'LL HELP YOU GET THERE.

I maintain a general private practice with a specialty in the treatment of trauma with offices in the Flatiron District of Manhattan and in Montclair, New Jersey. Whether you have experienced a major traumatic event, suffer from from acute or chronic anxiety and/or depression or whether you are feeling frustrated or stuck in repetitive patterns in your work or personal life, effective psychotherapy can help bring about empowerment, growth, and positive, lasting change. I am an active participant in each treatment and will work relationally with you to address your concerns. I also specialize in the use of more body-based modalities such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and SE (Somatic Experiencing). I have found, and current research is validating, how essential a healthy mind/body connection is to facilitating any real and lasting shifts from old habituated patterns to new, more adaptive ones, and I have found these modalities particularly effective in this regard.

I am a male psychotherapist with 37 years experience in a diverse practice utilizing conventional counseling, body work, meditation / spiritual direction, trauma work and life coaching.

Anyone can benefit from Art Therapy regardless of skill or age. Art Therapy is about the therapeutic process of artistic creation, not the product. Art Therapy may be considered a specialty in the world of mental health, recovery, and rehabilitation. Art Therapists are specifically trained through Master's-level Art Therapy degree programs approved by the American Art Therapy Association (AATA) and Art Therapy Credentialing Board (ATCB) standards. Please use caution when choosing a therapist. There are counseling therapists who claim they do "art therapy" or "expressive arts therapy" with their clients; however, unless they have a specific degree or post-Graduate certification and required-documented supervision under an ATR (Registered Art Therapist), they cannot ethically advertise nor practice "art therapy" or "expressive arts therapy." Receiving "art therapy" or "expressive arts therapy" from a non-specialized practitioner may do more harm than good. If you have any questions, please contact Noetic Art Therapy, LLC. or the Missouri Art Therapy Association. About Noetic Art Therapy: The creation of art can be a transformational experience. We are open to and interested in working with individuals who believe there is something more to life than only what is at the surface. We look beyond the status quo. We work clinically with archetypes, dreams, beliefs, visioning, mindfulness methods, and our higher intuitive consciousness to transcend and transform outdated and limiting scripts, beliefs, and judgments—with the intention of living a life that is more fully aligned at all levels. Greater experiences of joy, abundance, grace, and loving for the highest good of all concerned shall emerge. This approach can be considered transpersonal and/or psycho-spiritual in nature. This corresponds to the meaning of the word, "noetic." From this unique approach to art therapy we intend to understand our own personal experience from new reference points of awareness and clarity. We acknowledge the unique paths we have walked, roads we have driven, people who we have affected, and those who have affected us. We become clear through the process of Noetic Art Therapy of the essence of who and what we are, what our and others' beliefs, judgments, behaviors and actions have meant in our lives. From here we may decide to clear and resolve those outdated, no longer useful, blockages that we have been carrying, which have been keeping us from our bliss. It is through this lens of viewing oneself and the world that new understandings occur. We realize we are the conscious creators and facilitators of our own realities. Thoughts, feelings, behavior, self expression, and ultimately our experience of ourselves, others, and the world shifts toward equanimity.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. Therapy is by far my greatest passion. I help my clients overcome issues keeping them caught in unhealthy and destructive patterns that no longer serve a purpose. I am eager to help you and feel honored to assist in this journey. There are good therapist and then there are transforming therapist. Learning About Me was the toughest yet rewarding work. I can go as deep as my clients want to go. I am not the type of therapist interested in treating and relieving symptoms. The symptoms are just indicators of the deeper issue. Fear and Ego. I won’t waste your time or mine with worksheets and homework assignments. It’s all or nothing. If you want to be transformed and your life changed forever then strap on and let’s do it.

Every day people ask us how we are. Most of us give reflex answers like ‘Not bad’ and bounce the question back. What if the question stayed with you? If you were being completely honest, how would you answer? How would you expect that the questioner would react? In an ideal world, how would you like them to be with you? When we are struggling with painful problems or keen to live a more enjoyable life it can be helpful to talk with someone who is empathic, knowledgeable, and skillful at facilitating change. This is what I offer. I am a UKCP registered psychotherapist with qualifications and experience in NLP, hypnotherapy, and contemporary shamanic approaches. I offer psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and businesses. Like all psychotherapists I am committed to: - Honouring the trust you place in me - Respecting your right to choose for yourself - Promoting your well-being (I am professionally supervised) - Avoiding causing you harm (I am insured) - Treating you fairly - And practicing what I preach by understanding and caring for myself Some of the things that make me different are: Some of the reasons you may choose to work with me are: - Sessions go deep - often resolving patterns that have been passed on through the family. - Sessions create rapid change - I coach clients to identify and confront their fears at a pace which is right for them. - Clients are treated as a team member rather than as a victim who needs saving. - Energetic rapport enables me to sense what is going on with their energy bodies. - 90 and 70 minute sessions are significantly longer than the standard 50 minute 'hour'. - I don't expect you to stick to a regular appointment time so you have more flexibility to choose when to come.

After a successful career as a banker/consultant, I became a Buddhist and started to understand life in all its dimensions, and our struggles. I decided to dedicate the rest of my life to help people finding joy and fulfillment. I have become fascinated and passionate about neuroscience and how it really informs our behavior, our emotional turmoils, our sense of self and identity, our conflicts with others. It's been really rewarding to find tools and to develop skills that transform the functioning of our brain to leave behind the struggle and open doors to peace and satisfaction. No more "coping" with all that makes us feel terrible! Healing is the option and with technology and the understanding of the nervous system, I apply techniques that regulate the nervous system, create new and better connections in the brain, and allow us to develop awareness and control. I also use techniques to reconsolidate the memories that have been lingering as ghosts and that are at the root of all that trigger us. Clients end up with a different perception, a more positive narrative, and a sense of agency that makes life easier.

I offer psychoanalytic psychotherapy to children, adolescents, adults, couples and families and groups in my private practice in East London and Central and through Skype. After two sessions of consultation I can offer once to five times per week sessions. Normally it takes at least one to two years to get results. I offer individual psychoanalytic psychotherapy for children, adolescents and adults that experience emotional difficulties in order to understand the unconscious reasons behind and to restore the balance in the mind. The setting that I offer is a space where the person can express whatever comes to the mind and to establish a relationship with me that will help the growing process. With children I use the play technique where the child uses the play and drawings to expresses the emotions and I give back an understanding of the meaning. With adolescent and adult the words are the main medium of meaning and understanding how to further the development process. From one session to four sessions per week is the space where is possible to explore the inner reasons of any psychological and emotional difficulties.

Individual, family, couples and child psychotherapy. Long and short term therapy. EMDR for rapid resolution of trauma. In my work with couples and parents, I place a strong emphasis on accountability as essential to improvement in relationships. I often will work on an individual basis with both members of a couple, as well as seeing them together. This allows me a comprehensive understanding of all contributing factors in a couple's problems.I have the ability not to "take sides" in couple or family problems. The result has been a high success rate in my family and marital therapy. In my work with children, I always evaluate a child's problem in the context of the family system. Parents need to be willing to be involved in the treatment. Sometimes I will meet only with the parents, with excellent results.

Did you just find out your Spouse/Partner is having an affair? Are you shocked and overwhelmed experiencing a range of emotions? Feeling angry and scared at the same time? Can couples survive an affair? Finding out your partner is having an affair is probably the most devastating thing that could happen to you. Cheating shatters the core of your existence leaving you with feelings of betrayal, rejection, fear, mistrust, grief and anger. It damages your sense of self and leaves you overwhelmed with what to do next. You’re in allot of pain and confused right now. You don’t have to suffer through this alone. With the right Therapist couples can find their way to a deeper and more intimate bond after an affair despite the feelings of wanting to leave or fantasizing about a divorce. Notable author and Therapist Ester Perel states, “an affair doesn’t necessarily end a marriage and can possibly make it stronger.” Recovering from infidelity involves the willingness of unfaithful spouses to demonstrate sincere regret and remorse. Affair Recovery includes: Teamwork; both spouses must be fully committed to the hard work of getting their marriage back on track. The unfaithful partner must be willing to end the affair (sexual or emotional) and do whatever it takes to win back the trust of his or her spouse. Honesty is the most important factor in rebuilding the marriage. The future possibilities for the marriage are not determined by what happened in the affair; they are determined by what happens after the affair is known. The betrayed spouse must be willing to find ways to manage overwhelming emotions so, as a couple, thay can begin to sort out affair happened,ana more importantly, what needs to change so that it never happens again. Affairs are less about love and more about boundaries. Affairs can happen in good marriages. The major attraction in an affair is NOT the love partner but the positive mirroring of the self --"the way I look when I see myself in the other person’s eyes.” The conventional wisdom is that the person having an affair isn’t “getting enough” at home. That may be true, but often the truth is the person isn’t giving enough. Most people think that talking about the affair with the spouse will only create more upset, but that is actually the way to rebuild intimacy. The single best indicator of whether a relationship can survive infidelity is how much empathy the unfaithful partner shows for the pain they have caused. Gradually rebuild trust - through actions, not promises. Allow time to heal - although time alone (without effort) is not enough. As a Marriage Counselor and Infidelity Specialist I have specific training and experience to help explain the sources of infidelity and offer sound and sensible guidelines for mending your relationship. For those of you who are going through the hurt and betrayal of infidelity I am able to help you cope with the raging emotions, make a thoughtful decision about your future, and if you choose to recommit, reclaim a life together. The couples I work with either 1) relive their trauma and bitterness over and over again, 2) revert to the status of life before the affair, or 3) have the affair become a transformational experience and catalyst for renewal and change for moving forward.

Imagery - Imagine relaxing scenes, things going well, or other things that please you. Meaning - Find some purpose or meaning in what you are feeling. Prayer - Either pray to whomever you worship, or, if not religious, chant a personal mantra. Relaxation - Relax your muscles, breathe deeply; use with self-soothing.

Encouragement - Cheer lead yourself. Tell yourself you can make it through this(affirmations) Wise counsel on the situation (therapy) Amygdala Hijack The amygdala is the “fight or flight” and emotional memory part of the brain. Its job is to protect by comparing incoming data with emotional memories. An amygdala hijack occurs when we respond out of measure with the actual threat because it has triggered a much more significant emotional threat. For instance, the amygdala will react similarly to the threat of being eaten by a tiger (physical threat) and the threat of an ego attack (emotional threat) by bringing on the fight or flight reaction. When one experiences an amygdala hijack, the amygdala overtakes the neocortex (the thinking part of the brain) and there’s little or no ability to rely on intelligence or reasoning. The immediate result of a hijack is a decrease in working memory; adrenaline is released and will be present and effective for 18 minutes; hormones are released into the bloodstream and will take 3-4 hours to clear. During hijack, the number of perspectives accessible decreases; instead of 4 possible solutions, the observer will see 3 (excluding half of his original perspective), then 2 (creates an either/or choice), then only 1. When only 1 choice remains, the hijack is complete and the observer returns to a default, habitual behavior. A Model to Interrupt Amygdala Hijack Stop –Physically withdraw. If impossible, name the trigger or emotion (keeps the neocortex engaged and active and helps to prevent the amygdala from taking over). Oxygenate – Taking deep breaths with intention and purpose. Pay attention to breath. Keeps neocortex engaged.
