For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

People seek psychotherapy for different reasons. Sometimes they want to solve a specific problem produced by difficult circumstances; sometimes they want relief from feelings of general unhappiness and anxiety; other times they want to make a change, to feel less stuck, less depressed and more hopeful. Asking for help is the first important step. It gives substance to our desire for change and makes concrete our wish to feel better. This very act of asking says that we feel entitled to support and serious consideration. I am a compassionate listener who identifies hidden barriers to effective communication, personal growth and genuine trust. I tailor this approach to the needs, interests and concerns of each patient. The techniques used in this process include psychoanalytic, psycho-dynamic and CBT approaches. I have extensive experience with couples therapy. I respect your autonomy and intelligence When you know your personal resources, you can make informed decisions about therapy If you decide to on a consultation, I much prefer a telephone call to an email. Voice communication signals a readiness to begin.
