Depth Psychological Therapeutic Repair

You may be able to easily identify the problems in your life or the origin of your suffering may elude you. You may be mostly content and crave a therapeutic lens to assist as you curate and cultivate an even higher quality of life. 

You may have a problem or crisis that catapults you into therapy. Perhaps you are confronting anxiety, depression, loneliness, grief, stage-of-life, or spiritual crisis. You may be in a relationship that is distant or disappointing, or parenting might be bringing unresolved issues from your childhood to the surface. Sometimes you may feel overwhelmed, inadequate, and ill-equipped to face a specific hurdle or handle your responsibilities. You may be satisfied and long for more depth and a deeper inquiry into your psyche. 

Perhaps there is an issue that haunts you and has been begging your attention for years. Maybe a single incident in your history is having more of an effect on you than you had realized. Sometimes you feel you are only imitating basic functioning. Sometimes we drift into therapy motivated by a low hum, an ache, an amorphous, nebulous gnawing at the soul whispering for our attention.

Goals in therapy are subjective, circumstantial, and evolving, however, some benefits often include getting in the “driver’s seat” of your life, understanding the correlation between micro steps and macro vision, defining your personal goals, and cultivating the ability to take concrete steps toward actualizing desired change in your life; increasing self-awareness, self-efficacy, self-esteem, and self-concept; improvement in interpersonal relationships—friendships, romantic relationship, and work relationships; interrupting addictive patterns and cycles of abuse; integrating previously unresolved trauma; and, increased sense of purpose and meaning in one’s life.

"We can never undo what happened, but we can create new emotional scenarios intense and real enough to defuse and counter some of those old ones.”- Psychiatrist Bessel Van der Kolk on therapeutic interventions for trauma.

I have worked with highly successful, creative, and talented individuals. I have coached celebrities and their partners. I have interviewed hundreds of psychologists, psychiatrists, and mental health experts in the field. I have worked with highly anxious, highly sensitive, highly gifted individuals. I have worked with many 30-somethings trying to create meaning and satisfaction in this stage of life. I have worked with many post-divorce, second marriage, & blended family folks. Having worked with diverse populations in different contexts I have found the great equalizer among all of us is psychological suffering to which we are all susceptible and no one is immune despite our various protective factors. I have seen resiliency, fortitude, and breakthroughs in equal measure.
