Perhaps you have been thinking about beginning therapy for a long time. While fantisies about it are empowering, actually doing it takes courage. You may hesitate because of the time and expense involved or because you remember a prior dissapointing experience. The hardest part of the decision is knowing who to trust. Can you risk taking a name from a website?
To help make your choice easier this website has a link to a short video. It is an introduction to the treatment process and what to expect in your relationship with me. Experience and credentials are necessary but not sufficient. You need to assess whether there will be a good fit ....meaning... can you picture yourself feeling comfortable talking to me?
From my perspective, the human experience is shaped, and often limited by, aspects of the self that elude consciousness. Nevertheless, they are meaningful and can be understood. Through a collaborative dialogue, actively talking and listening, psychodynamically oriented psychotherapy often removes obstacles, allowing insight into these critical, but previously unacknowledged realms. This opens doors to expanding and integrating your sense of self, and to developing a coherent narrative about your life. In the process of doing this, many patients find symptoms diminish; the range of their choices seems to expand; goals are closer at hand; and the subjective quality of life improves. It is not unusual for me to hear patients describe a sense of increased resilience, so that, armed with a fuller comprehension of their past, they feel more able to cope with the demands of the present. They also feel less anxious about the challenges of the future.
