Reisha Forshpan, MFT
Let's Work Together! I can help you learn new/improved ways to manage difficulties and move beyond disappointments, past and present. With increased self-esteem and self-worth, you will experience a sense of power, energy, motivation, and optimism. With more confidence, you can apply the skills you've learned and/ or strengthened, to any situation, no longer feeling scared or stuck.
You may find that fears and anxieties have hindered you from moving forward, reaching your goals, and attaining what you really want. So Often, old, intrusive, negative thoughts/beliefs creep in to your personal and professional life. It doesn't have to be this way. You can now be in charge.
I work collaberatively with my clients, and help you understand how your experiences in life have impacted: 1. Relationships; 2. The way you perceive yourself and others; 3. The meanings and interpretations that you make. With understanding comes the possiblity of change, alleviating personal struggles. I can help you reach your goals and have the confidence to make choices and decisions that are right for you.
If you are a couple who keep repeating the same old patterns which end in unresolved conflicts, I can help you learn more productive ways of communicating and interacting with each other.
The Benefits: Couples feel less vulnerable, the ability to express themselves, the ability to listen, without being defensive. Couples leave therapy with a more satisfying, intimate and empathic relationship. Humor and laughter can once again be enjoyed.
