Individual Therapy

Psychotherapy is rational and accessible. It can be short-term and have significant impact on the quality of day-to-day living. The elements are simple: your behavior is hurting you and you can’t see how or why because you’re in the center of it. The therapist’s job is to use compassion, logic, experience, and knowledge of the endless tricks of the human mind to challenge you in a way that you can accept. Your job is to allow-in your therapist's ideas and actively test them because the therapist is not always right. Without your active engagement, therapy risks becoming a series of entertaining speculations that has no impact on your life.

When riding a bike, we make constant, unconscious, micro-steering adjustments that keep us upright and prevent us from falling. In our work, home, and family lives, we make countless unconscious adjustments to help us get through the day. But some of these adjustments may not be serving us because they are based on outdated beliefs or defenses. These adjustments have become so ingrained that they are invisible; and yet, they may be controlling your life. Counseling can shine a light on which beliefs or behaviors are helpful and freeing and which are counterproductive.
