Psychotherapy

2104183439As a highly-driven professional, you know…

… the importance of tackling challenges head-on.

But sometimes, despite our best efforts, we struggle to overcome the obstacles in our path.

This is where psychotherapy comes in.

What’s worked in the past…

… isn’t always the best way forward.

Most of our coping strategies designed to seek safety, approval, or control have an expiration date. They may have been helpful during your formative years or for specific situations as an adult, but they can become problematic as our lives change.

It’s time for a major software update!

2177433523If you want a different outcome, you have to try something different.

Most of us fear change – but think about where you are and what you’ve been doing. Then, realize this:

Giving away everything (energy, time, money, etc.) inside you won’t make the world better or fairer.

Your peace will never come from your ex’s apologies or misfortunes.

And you won’t become lazy or mediocre if you stop pushing or judging yourself so hard.

Instead of avoiding scary thoughts, feelings, and sensations…

We’re going to turn toward them with the curiosity of a researcher or with a beginner’s mind. That’s how you’ll form a different relationship with your suffering and yourself.

You can heal and transform your life by facing your fears and getting to the root of the problem. Imagine being able to let go of the worries that have been holding you back and embracing new opportunities with confidence.

You’ll discover new ways of coping with stress and building resilience, enabling you to thrive personally and professionally.

You can expect…

Feelings of shame and self-hatred will be replaced with self-compassion.

Attempts to reject your “flaws” as a human being will be met with self-acceptance.

Endless cycles of rumination will be transformed into a greater capacity to be fully present in your life and relationships.

You will no longer have to hide, avoid, or run away from situations you fear.

What most people don’t realize…

… is that when you heal from all this suffering, there’s an incredible amount of space and energy for the experiences and relationships that are important and meaningful in your life.

Instead of worrying about how others perceive you, you’ll have more creativity and courage to bring new ideas to your team.

Instead of worrying about fears of something wrong with your health or body, you’ll have the confidence and energy to start dating or grow your family.

2142904829These will be our guiding principles…

No matter whether you’re here for individual or couples therapy, our approach will be…

Trauma-Informed

We believe your problems result from your best efforts to cope with the overwhelming events or relationships in your life. To heal, we’ll partner with you to do meaningful, challenging, and growth-promoting work while respecting your comfort boundaries.

Emotion-Focused

Emotions have a fundamental role in healing. Learning to face our feelings instead of avoiding them is the root of healing from psychological suffering. We are also big proponents of working with the body and the brain as a unit to help you achieve your goals.

Experiential

Our therapists are trained to incorporate experiential modalities such as Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS).

Attachment-Based

We believe in the power of relationships to facilitate healing. As therapists, we’ve witnessed so many powerful stories. We hold a safe space for deep, intense emotions that may have been “orphaned” inside or exiled from your system. We provide an emotional intimacy that heals old wounds and rewrites hurtful narratives about what it means to be worthy of love.

True healing is possible…

You just have to face your fears and get to the root of the problem. That’s why we’re here!

So, if you’re ready to take the next step in your personal and professional growth, we invite you to join us for psychotherapy.

Let’s unlock your potential and help you achieve the success you deserve!
