Tired of being there for everyone else with little support for you?
You are a smart, capable clinician. You know your stuff and that mostly works for you. You've likely been using your therapy skills to work through your own stuff for a while. And while you have supportive friends, they either aren't therapists and so are limited in how much they can help. Or perhaps your friends are therapists, but you worry about burdening them too much. Besides, when you do confide in others, it often gets turned around to where you are yet again taking care of someone else.
You crave a relationship where you don't have to worry about someone else, and can just get support you need for you.

You want to work with someone who honors your experience, training, and abilities as a therapist because generally you've got this on your own. You just just struggle to work through things sometimes. And you want a place to help promote your continued self growth.
If this sounds like you, then you are in the right place.
Therapy for therapists can help!
It's time for a relationship that is focused on you.
Therapy for Therapists helps you do 3 things:

My approach to therapy is collaborative. I don't think I know more than you. I think it helps to have two therapy brains working together in a relationship where there is no expectation to take care on the other person. While I predominantly use acceptance and commitment therapy, I also include a big helping of compassion focused therapy since we therapists tend to be very self-critical. The focus will always be on helping you think deeper about what's going on to try to unblock your natural abilities.

How often will we meet and for how long?
I meet with clients on a weekly basis during a time that is reserved for you each week. If you need to miss a session, you can reschedule during another time in the the same week or by doubling up the week before or after your originally scheduled appointment.
ACT is known for its ability to be a brief intervention, but it can also be used over a more extended period of time. After an intake appointment, we will collaboratively decide how long to work together. Ultimately it will come down to how long you continue to have benefit or goals you want to work on.

What is your fee?
My fee is $300 per hour. I do not take insurance but I am happy to provide a superbill receipt for you to seek out-of-network reimbursement. For therapists in private practice, your personal therapy can often be classified as a business expense. Please see the Counseling FAQS page for a list of questions you can ask your insurance company regarding possible reimbursement.
How do I get started?
The first step is to schedule a consult to see if we are a good fit. If we aren't, I am happy to refer you to someone who I think could be a good fit!
As with any psychotherapy, results are not guaranteed.
