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. A high percentage of my practice is men; I run groups for high functioning men who are seeking to be more effective in their relationships with their families, women and other men, as well as well as in deepening their connection to their own inner lives. I also have female clients who are working on their relationship to themselves and their partners (male and female). I am trained in Gestalt, body-centered psychotherapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems and men's work, as well as main-stream psychotherapy techniques.

As a psychotherapist who practices from a Transpersonal perspective, I provide therapy for the WHOLE individual. Unlike traditional therapeutic structure, which only considers the Emotional and Intellectual components of the individual, I also focus on the Physical and Spiritual facets of Self. I work with all ages, from small children through geriatric seniors. My specialties include Eating Disorders, Depression, Anger Management, Anxiety and Substance Abuse. I provide therapy to individuals, couples and groups and especially enjoy working with children and adolescents.

How I work: First we will have an introductory conversation on the phone. I will gain preliminary understanding of the problem you need help with. If I will feel that I may not be the right fit, I will provide you with referrals for therapists who specialize in the issue you are seeking a solution for (i.e., pain management). We will also discuss fees. In our first session I will go over the inform consent and office policies with you and will collect data for the intake. I will become very involved with you and we will work as a team. I will ask you what your goals are and after a couple of sessions, I will discuss the treatment plan with you. You will be in a very safe and supportive environment. I will learn to know who you are and what your personality is and I will adapt the therapeutic process to meet your individual needs. We will discuss your progress as we go along and make changes if the need arises. We will also discuss those changes to ensure that we are on the right direction in your path for personal growth.

Dr. Logan focuses on adults and couples wanting to resolve relationships issues, communiation, healing from adultery, addictions, anger issues, forgiveness, codependency, and works with those who have a history of emotional trauma, depression and anxiety. She is an EMDR Certified Therapist by EMDRIA, and has a special interest in those who have suffered trauma, victims of crime and disturbing life memories. EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitizatiion and Reprocessing and is a breakthrough in the mental health field, having helped over two million people who have suffered from disturbing memories from the past and/or traumatic events. To date, EMDR has helped an estimated two million people of all ages relieve many types of psychological stress.

I have been in private practice for 18 years. My therapeutic approaches/techniques are tailored specifically to you, providing you with a higher level of comfort and facilitating change.rnCHILDREN: Use of play therapy techniques to provide a positive experience and means to openly express themselves. TEENS: An open, accepting, and safe environment for self expression so that together we may address their individual challenges in a positive manner. COUPLES: A neutral and structured atmosphere where each individual may feel comfortable to express and address their concerns. Together we work to introduce new elements into the relationship to resolve conflict and strengthen the relationship bond. I am client/family focused and utilize multiple techniques to provide my clients with a positive therapeutic experience. My strenghts include a strong ability to relate well to of all ages, flexibility, commitment to change, and being solution oriented.

My practice is multi-generational. I work with clients as young as 11 years of age up to over 100. I have two office sites, Farmington Hills, MI and Livonia, MI. I also do consulting work at a variety of nursing homes throughout the metro area. Currently I am seeing patients via tele-health during the COVID-19 crisis. I have seen a 4 yr old and a 104 year old patient in the same day. I use an eclectic therapy mode where I choose to use the therapeutic techniques that will work best for not only your psychological condition, but also matched to your personality style to ensure the fastest and most long-standing positive outcome.

You have found an empathic and supportive therapist. I work with adults and adolescents who have a variety of mental health issues such as: depression, anxiety, and various forms of traumatic issues. I do individual counseling and couple/family counseling. I apply the following clinical approaches: Cognitive Behavioral techniques, Motivational Interviewing, problem solving and REBT to help clints deal with thier issues. I also work with individuals who have chronic medical issues such as HIV/AIDS, diabetes, and cancer to help them deal effectively and cope with their overwhemeling medical condition(s). I help individuals who are feeling loss and hopeless with life learn how to begin a new journey to a new you.

As a licensed professional counselor and addictions counselor, I am able to address both mental health and addiction issues in a comprehensive manner. I also am able to offer EMDR for the relief of pain due to trauma. I incorporate mind, body and spirit into the work with clients to assist in the healing of all aspects of the individual. I respect that initiating therapy is a difficult step to take. Sharing the personal details of your life with someone you just meet, can be overwhelming and feelings of uncertaining may be present. I offer a free initial 1/2 hour consultation. This allows clients to meet me and see if I am a good for them. Finding the right therapist should not be an expensive venture. I am compassionate and understanding, I am not here to judge, I am here to help. I can utilize my training in family and play therapy to enhance the process for both children and adults. Each client is unique and requires a individualized approach and plan to best suite their spicific needs. My goal is to have each and every client leave with a sense of relief and satisfaction. .

I offer an alternative to traditional in-office therapy through secure, HIPAA compliant video sessions on doxy.me. My practice is rooted in accessibility, compassion, and integration, making therapy available to anyone seeking growth, healing, or clarity no matter where they are. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the complex emotional patterns that shape our lives. As an Integrative Therapist, I draw from a variety of theoretical approaches including cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, mindfulness-based, and humanistic frameworks. This allows me to tailor each session to the unique personality, needs, and goals of the individual. Rather than adhering to a single model, I help clients uncover what truly works for them, whether it’s developing insight into the past, learning new coping skills, or cultivating emotional regulation in the present moment. My approach emphasizes authenticity and collaboration. I believe that therapy should be a safe and supportive partnership where you can explore your story without judgment. Many clients come to therapy feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or uncertain about how to move forward. Together, we work to transform those feelings into understanding and action. You will find that our sessions balance structure with flexibility, allowing space for both emotional depth and practical problem solving. Online therapy offers the utmost convenience, privacy, and comfort. Sessions can be scheduled at times that fit your lifestyle, removing the obstacles of travel, traffic, and scheduling conflicts. Many clients appreciate the ability to connect from their own home or private space, where they often feel more relaxed and open to self-reflection. For individuals who are apprehensive about visiting a therapist’s office, telehealth creates a sense of safety and ease that encourages engagement and progress. Confidentiality is central to my practice. doxy.me is fully encrypted, secure, and compliant with all federal privacy standards. You can trust that your personal information and session content remain completely private. Therapy is an investment in your well-being and your future. Whether you are seeking relief from stress or anxiety, working through depression or trauma, improving your relationships, or simply striving for greater emotional balance, I provide a compassionate and nonjudgmental space where real change can occur. My goal is to help you develop resilience, insight, and tools that will continue to support you long after therapy ends. If you are ready to begin, reach out to schedule a session. Together, we can create a path toward healing, growth, and lasting change.

I have been successfully coaching and counseling people in my private practice since 1990. Typically, my clients are looking to overcome obstacles to their optimum happiness and fulfillment. Many clients are working through unfinished business from their past experience, while many are more recently blocked or stuck in self defeating habits or behaviors. Together, clients and I draw upon a variety of understandings and tools from Western social psychological knowledge and Eastern traditions and philosophies.

The saying "An examined life is not worth living" always comes to mind when I encounter an individual who is mired down in problems and unable to find happiness. That you are visiting this page tells me you have already embarked on a path to address the issues that are stopping you from moving forward. In a warm and safe environment I can provide you with the tools you need to indeed live the life you wish to live. Together we can explore and uncover the obstacles that prevent you from enjoying the relationships you deserve along with the dreams and goals you want to pursue. INDIVIDUAL THERAPY While I use many different approaches in therapy, including talk therapy, I work through an attachment lens which means that sometimes it is important to explore one's past to see how it affects you in the present. I believe everyone benefits from finding new options to address previously self-defeating patterns. I also like to incorporate mindfulness practices into my therapeutic work. My clients have observed that their overall functioning has dramatically improved by practicing mindfulness in their daily lives. COUPLES When two individuals come together I am often reminded of the expression, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions." Relationships require nurturing and attention and sometimes with the best of intentions, couples drift apart or arrive at an impasse. I am marriage friendly, LGBTQ friendly, and believe that most couples have the ability to work out their dissatisfaction with one another. Much of the time, with commitment and a desire to rekindle long-lost feelings, couples, with the help of therapy, can master the communications skills they need to find emotional safety and connection in their relationship.

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

There are four therapists at TR Counseling & Wellness meeting the needs of diverse populations with a variety of issues. We specialize in addiction, OCD, anxiety disorders, panic disorder, stress management, Christian counseling, women's issues, trauma/PTSD, and more.

It's hard to be objective when you feel stuck. In psychotherapy, I help people take a step back. As a trauma therapist for 25 years, working in Toronto, I do counseling and therapy for people dealing with the results of painful relationships. I help people develop goals and make changes in their lives. Adults and adolescents see me when they're having conflicts in their important family relationships, when they've experienced trauma, loss, or divorce, when they have posttraumatic symptoms from interpersonal trauma, when they are in psychological distress at work, home, or school, and when they are struggling with an eating disorder or severe anxiety. You can see more by checking out Dr. Robert T. Muller's award-winning psychotherapy work: "Trauma and the Avoidant Client: Attachment-Based Strategies for Healing" (published in 2010 by W.W. Norton) and "Trauma and the Struggle to Open Up: From Avoidance to Recovery and Growth" (published in 2018 by W.W. Norton).

I have a private psychotherapy practice in Asheville, NC where I treat adults, couples, teens and children. Some of the areas in which I specialize are: • Family Therapy • Play Therapy (with children) • Relational, Experiential, Dynamic Therapy with Adults & Teens (AEDP) • Couples & Marriage Counseling (using Emotionally Focused Therapy) • Psychodynamic & Psychoanalytic Work • Sexuality, especially Sexual Compulsivity & Addiction • Domestic Violence & Anger Management Please feel free to call with any questions, to simply meet on the phone, or to set up an initial appointment. I welcome clients of all sexual orientations, religions, and ethnic backgrounds.

In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to your needs to help you attain the personal growth you're striving for. I employ several different therapeutic models depending on the type of difficulties you are having. Most of my experience is in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy. Each of these types of therapy have been evaluated and proven to be effective for a variety of problems. Research has consistently shown that the most important element in successful therapy is the working relationship between the client and the therapist. Connecting with you and establishing a solid foundation is my first and most important priority. Some of my passions include helping people deal with the impact of past traumas on their present lives, treating depression, working with clients who have trouble finding a sense of direction in their lives, and supporting the LGBTQ community. My clients have found my approach to be warm and non-judgmental; while also being honest and straight-forward. As a therapist, you will most likely find me to be, more than anything, a real person who does her best to connect with you. For fun, I enjoy anything outdoors...camping, fly-fishing, hiking...you name it. I'm also an avid reader and lover of both eating and cooking good food.

I'm a solution-focused therapist with 30 years experience helping people change their lives. Do you have patterns that keep landing you in unhappy relationships? Do you have core beliefs about yourself and others that limit your happiness and well-being? Do you suffer from depression, anxiety, addiction or relationship distress? My job as your therapist is to help you identify core issues and patterns that impede your well-being and, in partnership with you, develop strategies for improving how you function, think and act in the world. My style is interactive, warm, compassionate, and sometimes humorous. Therapy should produce tangible change, not just insight. Working with the right therapist can have an enormous impact on the quality of your life. Why wait another minute? Let's talk.

Working with individuals, couples, and families. Life is a journey of discovering more about yourself and your connection with others. There are difficult situations along the way, and you may just want to discuss some things, or you may be really struggling with a particular situation that you would like to work through. Either way, you will find that counseling is an investment in yourself and one that will always payoff as long as you keep using the tools. Sometimes just a few sessions can be really helpful, and other times things may take awhile longer. It often takes time and commitment to make changes.Anything worth doing takes effort. You can make changes in your life and feel better. Office sessions available weekly and some weekends. Counseling or Life Coaching, provided with insurance or self-pay. Conditions and situations where counseling can help - Therapy for depression, sadness, anxiety and bipolar - Counseling for stress reduction, relaxation, breathing techniques - Treatment for better communication, anger management, and coping patterns - Relationships, relationship therapy, co-dependency and relationship patterns - Family therapy and family dynamics - Exploration of emotions and feelings - Holistic treatment, life coaching, life confusion and life direction - Mind, body and spirit counseling - Biofeedback training EMDR

From my many years of experience as a psychotherapist, I know the quality of our relationships is central to our entire experience of life. If our primary relationship is not going well, it is hard for us to be truly happy so I am especially passionate about helping couples in crisis, when there has been some kind of betrayal. So many relationships that start out feeling wonderful and exciting end up in frustration and disappointment. In addition, life crises can stress a relationship to the brink. It saddens me to know that couples go through the intense pain of breaking up only to struggle in their next relationship. It doesn't need to be that way. I help couples learn skills that give them immediate relief from their most hurtful encounters and foster deep empathy, understanding and connection. In only a few coaching sessions with your partner, you will learn how to communicate in ways that: * Rekindle friendship and passion * Truly resolve long standing conflict and * Lead to individual growth and satisfaction. I see psychotherapy as helping people access their inner resources, deepen their self awareness, develop strategies for overcoming obstacles and break old habits, and learning coping skills to face the inevitable stresses of life. I am an empathetic, active listener who approaches my clients' concerns with deep respect, honesty, pragmatism, caring and sometimes, with humor. I am results oriented and ensure that my clients can transfer what they experience and learn in my sessions to their real life. I am humbled and honored by the trust my clients have shown me over the years as me I have accompanied them on their journey back to safety and and enriched personal relationships and to more fulfillment and satisfaction with life.

As a psychotherapist serving Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Laguna Beach and Newport Coast I work with couples and individuals who are experiencing relationship problems, depression, anxiety, grief, effects of trauma, and marital issues. Change does not occur easily and yet I continue to be inspired each day by the courage and motivation of the people I work with to challenge patterns that repeatedly cause heartache and turmoil, the effects of trauma from the past, and the problematic issues of daily living. No matter what the issue is, the most important aspect of therapy is developing a comfortable and trusting relationship with your therapist. I work in a way that provides that for each of my patients. So, If you're tired of the way your life is going, or if there are certain aspects that you know need some attention, I'd like to talk with you to see how I may be able to support you through your therapeutic process. I am caring, understanding and easy to talk to, and I provide a safe, comfortable place for you. I specialize in helping people live more fulfilling lives in their family, relationships and worklife. I also help people with increasing their confidence, as well as working through the effects of trauma, and issues from the past.

Do you sometimes question your own sanity because you are living with someone who has substance abuse issues or is extremely mean and cruel? If you are in a relationship that is toxic, highly dramatic and emotionally damaging, please let me help you through this difficult time in your life. This type of relationship atmosphere creates what I term "crazy making" because at any given moment, and for the slightest reason, a calm atmosphere can turn very ugly. You become the person who is designated as always wrong, always making the incorrect decision, always jealous, and whatever you do it is never good enough. This type of relationship could be with a parent, a husband or wife, a friend, or anyone who you feel creates a judgmental, highly critical and antagonistic atmosphere. I have been there -- walking in your shoes -- and personally understand what you are going through. It is incredibly painful and can forever harden us if the hurts remain unhealed. Please don't let the cruelty of someone else control and "win" the quality of your life anymore. Please reach out and let me help if you would like to talk. I would be honored to help you.

At the foundation of my approach, I conceptualizes all individuals and their interactions with others (relationships) within the Systems framework. More simply, one cannot understand the dynamic of our struggles without exploring the familial, social, and cultural contexts. My work is based in Solution-Focused Therapy. This encourages dialogue to explore client's strengths, resources, and past successes. My collaborative approach fosters a sense of agency in clients, creating a co-constructed dialogue to explore and create realistic attainable therapeutic goals. This approach further emphasizes that clients best understand their unique circumstances. Therefore the role of therapist is to support a co-constructed dialogue around necessary changes in perceptions, thoughts, and behaviors. Lastly, I bring to the environment a compassionate and gentle stance, providing my clients with a warm and safe environment allowing more opportunity for clients to deeply explore their history and present struggles.

I am certified in EMDR, a time efficient method for treating post traumatic stress disorder and other issues. In general my approach is psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral. I am particularly adept in dealing with relationship problems, depression, grief, anxiety and trauma related issues. In addition to my private practice I am a clinical supervisor and have supervised experienced therapists in family service, eating disorders, addictions, DUI and probation programs. I also have extensive experience in parent training. I empower people to make changes when they feel stuck and dissatisfied with their life.

Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. ~Attributed to Carl Bard Through my own creative process, education, and practical experience, I have developed an ability to hold a space that allows me to aid others, and guiding them to a place where they too can enjoy a full and healthy life.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of New Jersey as well as a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) and National Board Certified TeleMental Health provider (BC-TMH). I possess extensive experience working in the field of mental health care with adolescents, adults, and families over the last 10 years. I received my Masters degree from Monmouth University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am currently working toward obtaining my Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision with a specialization in Leadership Studies. I am also the owner of Supportive Space Counseling Center, LLC., New Jersey's first entirely online outpatient counseling agency founded in 2019. I believe that psychotherapy is a unique experience. It can bring insight, relief and empowerment. We all have the intelligence and strength to work through difficult issues, but sometimes we need a little help. If you are feeling anxious, depressed, lost or alone, therapy can help you move forward. As we work together to develop a deeper understanding of your thoughts and feelings, you will be more equipped to resolve the inner turmoil and confusion which at times affects us all. Self-discovery and gaining a deeper understanding of oneself is not always easy but it can be the greatest gift you could ever give to yourself and the ones you love. As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is fulfilling and meaningful. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals!

My intent in a counseling session is to show up as my whole self, and make space for you to show up as your whole self. I believe that people have an innate ability to heal, and I know that the keys to balance and well being exist inside of you. My work as a therapist is to use the tools and skills that I have learned and those that are inherent in me, to unblock the barriers on your path to health and wholeness. It is my hope, that I may aid you in calling home the lost and wounded parts of yourself and integrate that back into the complete and amazing you. I maintain a commitment to anti-oppression in my practice and my personal life. I hold in my awareness the realities of privilege and oppression and work continuously to seek new information in service of liberation. I abide by the code of ethics of both the State of Washington and the American Counseling Association.

Many of us are reluctant to try psychotherapy until we have exhausted every conceivable means of coping with our problems. The reasons that we don't seek professional help is complex. But whether it is fear of change, pessimism or defensiveness the root may be not wanting to face ourselves. Effective therapy is about facing things about ourselves that we either can't or don't want to see. There are obvious reasons for our lack of success in love, work and relationships, yet we remain blind to them. We know that angry communication never works but we continue to act as if it does. We withhold our true feelings not only from others but ourselves. We wander through our lives sometimes dazed, sometimes confused and often disconnected. We are hurting but act as if we are invulnerable. We can be pleasant, polite to a fault, generous and kind, but, alas, feel empty at the same time. Media about movies about aliens, robots and the undead reflect the alienation from self that is so prevalent in contemporary life. We look away from ourselves. We think that problems are outside of ourselves not within us. Learning to solve the problems within us is a major goal in psychotherapy. “You have every right to expect psychotherapy to be a force for personal growth. An effective therapist will help you see your problems clearly, so that solutions become emotionally apparent and therefore, accessible. Successful therapy will address your anger and anxiety. will diminish your shame, self-blame and self-doubt. It will help you to face yourself in ways that you have avoided or been unaware of. Effective therapy makes change inevitable. If therapy does not succeed in addressing of deep frustration with self and others, it's not working. Interventions are designed to raise self-esteem, self-respect, personal authority and improve interpersonal communication underlying feelings of loneliness and isolation. I have been a licensed therapist for over four decades. My expertise is based on a wealth of personal as well as professional experience. I am familiar with every phase of the life cycle and the particular issues that arise in each phase of your journey. I encourage you to take the first step toward self-exploration. I hope to aid you in your self-affirmation.

As a systems-oriented psychotherapist and coach, my goal is to help you find your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying systems therapy approaches and techniques, together we will identify long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life or career. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life or career, I look forward to working with you to help you achieve your goals. Please call or email me to schedule an individual or couples session, either in person or online. Many of my clients (particularly those who travel!) enjoy the flexibility of online distance sessions. Conducting a session using your computer or smartphone allows us to see and hear each other in a secure, encrypted environment.

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.

*I accept insurance and am a provider for: Cigna, Aetna, Value Options, Magellan, MHN, CHIPA and more. Psychology is my true calling, my gift, and my passion. I do not believe in labels of dysfunction. I see the potential for true "health" in every individual. I am Dr. Susan Murphy, PsyD, my daughter (Ally Tracy) and I, both USC grads, have joined forces as a dynamic mother/daughter duo, combining over 15 years of Psychology and Holistic practice experiences, to provide integrated counseling in the Palm Springs area. We offer individual, family and group counseling for a wide variety of your concerns and issues. We also give talks and workshops on many mental health issues . I also founded a Drink Moderation program called Motivational Recovery. This 6 week program, based on a Harvard research study, and practiced in Europe and Canada for dozens of years, allows the problem drinker the choice of learning to drink moderately or choose abstinence. I am a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist. I find hypnosis a wonderful adjunct to quickly uncover, explore, and heal issues from past childhood trauma and experiences, present fears, and future anxieties. These issues or patterns, once helping us survive childhood, can now be making our lives unmanageable. Releasing past negative issues, whether through traditional therapy, or hypnosis, can help us reclaim our sense of trust and our ability for intimacy and sexuality without fear and guilt. I also specialize in counseling for sexual addictions. Many perceived sexual "addictions" are not really "addictions", but a result of our not being able to really connect with anybody. One way to tell if you are engaged in healthy or unhealthy sexual activity is how out of control you feel and are you causing others and yourself pain. Ally Tracy has a unique gift as an intuitive counselor, specializing in the creative and healing arts-such as, Chakra Energy Balancing, Meditative Practices, Creative Art Therapy, Life Coaching and Self-esteem building. Ally is a published freelance writer and studied and taught drama in New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. There is no magic cure or door; the answers are inside of you and we can help you uncover and implement them for a better life. The life you deserve.

In a safe and non threatening environment I promote emotional wellness and offer guidance over the speed bumps in life. Job loss, lack of communication with a spouse, partner, or child, someone close to you dies, a pet dies, you find your mind racing, can't make ends meet, your heart pounds and you feel you can't breathe, or perhaps you feel sad all the time, don't want to get out of bed, have no motivation, feel overwhelmed, suffer from abuse or trauma, divorce, perhaps a relative or friend is struggling and you don't know how to be there for them. Maybe you find yourself picking at your skin until it bleeds or pull your hair without realizing it. We all get stuck with life's speed bumps at some time. Based in cognitive behavioral therapy I employ an ecclectic approach to accomodate the uniqueness in every individual. In a calm atmosphere you can realize the peace, happiness and success you deserve through emotional wellness.

Every Saturday, I do a free demonstration on Zoom of my practical approach to psychotherapy at 9 AM Eastern. I take a volunteer and discuss a problem, and I show them how to change their emotional and behavioral reactions to the adversity they face. I help people change their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to address their problems more effectively. Observing my work will help you see how I teach people practical solutions to their problems. Write to me to get the Zoom link view the free audio and video on this sensible approach to therapy. Do your homework before you choose your therapist. Psychotherapy is more than a confidential relationship where you vent week after week. I teach you skills and ideas you can use for the rest of your life to cope with life's most difficult challenges.
