    Sometimes it is more difficult to ask a question than to answer it. In conversation with another, one practiced in the art of attuned listening, it becomes possible to discover not only what is worthy of questioning, but why answers have remained so stubbornly concealed from our own searching.

    There seems to be an expectation when asked “How are you doing?” that only a positive response is invited. If we’re all “good”, why are many of us actually feeling bad? Psychotherapy provides a space where what you are truly feeling will be heard. Together, we will reflect and attend with care to whatever you are feeling.

    In spite of great difficulties, you’ve not given up on finding meaning in your life. In helping you figure out what moves you, psychotherapy allows you to make better sense of what you’re going through, to be more aware of your strengths, and more mindful of what you need to sort out.

    Finding a therapist with whom you feel comfortable enough to discuss your challenges and dreams takes courage. Oftentimes we start looking when we are already struggling to cope. Together we can build on your courage to support your healing and growth. Therapy offers space to explore with compassion, to find stability, and to create new possibilities.

    Our bodies are our first source of support in this life. When trauma disrupts our connection to our body wisdom, access can be restored through self-awareness, meaningful human contact, and our bodies’ own power of self-regulation. Therapy gives us tools to discover our own unique path to healing.

    Talking to friends or family is different from speaking with a therapist. With a therapist, you connect to strengths you may have lost along the way; you develop the capacity to calm and regulate your nervous system. Together, you and your therapist build an alliance that is fully focused on your growth.

    Many clients entering therapy wonder, “How can only talking help me?” The increased sense of well-being we gain in therapy is more than just a worded experience. Current research in neurobiology validates the effectiveness of talk therapy, in which the therapeutic conversation creates “limbic resonance.” When you sit with a calm, knowledgeable, experienced psychotherapist you are neurologically regulating mind and mood.

    The emotional tools we use to cope with life have a way of taking over. We get stuck in loops of action or avoidance that hurt others and hinder ourselves. Therapy helps us find a way out: breaking these loops, building new patterns, and developing new tools to both cope and thrive.

    The way we speak about our experiences shapes the way we know ourselves and interact with others.

As new perspectives are spoken into being, we can bring about the changes that we have long hoped for.

    The first step towards therapy is significant. You may wonder how therapy works or have other questions. Just as each person is individual, the therapeutic process is different for everyone but it always starts with a safe, confidential space to explore your personal experience.

    We have great inner resources for healing and for growth. But we need a context in which we feel listened to and heard and within which a new perspective can develop.

    The world can be either a meaningful or miserable place, depending on how we perceive ourselves.

    Psychotherapy is an opportunity to shed old, unhelpful ways of being for more authentic forms of connecting. Recognizing your own patterns, let alone changing them, can be difficult without support. Working with an empathetic therapist who listens attentively and without judgement can lead to lasting transformational change.

    In therapy, two hearts and minds can meet. The client is encouraged to unfold his or her life story; the therapist’s tenderness and maturity help allow the client to express himself or herself anew. Healing and transformation can then begin, and the client can start to appreciate himself or herself as unique. Therapy moves clients towards both accepting what is broken in them and finding hope for healing.

    Emotional suffering is painful and lonely. It doesn’t have to be. Psychotherapy is talk therapy that promises change through self-awareness. The more understanding we have of our-selves and our feelings, the more choice, fulfillment, and peace we have in our lives. Under-standing our emotional life contributes greatly to the joy of life.
