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 value therapy and  may have been looking around for a therapist:
  • But you worry someone with less experience or training won't be able to help you,
  • You worry about that the therapists you find are too close to your network of colleagues,
  • You want someone with more experience but who also wont make you feel less experienced
Picture
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:

Picture
  1. Have someone to listen to whats going on and explore with you what has worked and what hasn't.
  2. Explore your values and desires as well as your blocks to moving forward.
  3. Sit with you "in it" so you can use our two therapist brains to approach the problem.
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 a combination of Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), 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.

 You don't have to keep working on your stuff alone.

FAQ

CAN you explain EFIT and ACT therapy?
Both Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) are process based therapies. 

EFIT is focused an attachment based therapy focused on helping you move through and work through difficult emotions in order to have more emotional balance and connection with yourself and others. Parts work and interactions between different parts of yourself will be a common theme.

ACT is focused has enhancing 6 skillsets to approach problems. When  you are able to flexibility use these 6 skills, you are better able to find your own way through the problems you face. The 6 skills include:
  • acceptance of difficult emotions,
  • being able to watch thought processes,
  • enhancing present moment experiencing,
  • being able to see multiple perspectives,
  • creating meaning through a focus on personal values,
  • and enhancing actions in the services of values. 
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.

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, and I work with clients on a weekly basis. 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!
