    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.

    As you consider the idea of therapy and begin your search for a therapist, I’m guessing you may feel pretty vulnerable. I get it, I’ve been there. Trusting another with your personal story and letting go of some of the protections you have put in place over the years takes time. As your unique story unfolds, we will get there - together.

    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.

    Traumatic experience occurring in early life, as well as ongoing instances of neglect, loss or unmet need, may significantly affect our sense of self. Negative events act as filters that constrain our development and perceptions. But things can get better. Psychotherapy can help to us to understand ourselves more fully, develop more satisfying relationships, and live the lives we long to lead.

    Something remarkable happens when we are listened to deeply and openly. Whether we have a strong sense of ourselves but are struggling with difficult feelings or we are lost, afraid, and overcome with anxiety, speaking about it with someone who has the psychological insight and space to truly hear us, as a psychotherapist does, can be a powerful and healing experience.

    In therapy we begin to understand ourselves, and our relations with others, amid life's complexities. It's a space to freely explore our thoughts, feelings, and experiences from the past and present, as we orient towards the future. Through this, we build a life we truly feel part of and from which we connect with others.

    D.W.

    We come to therapy with the hope that our lives can be better, but we often don’t know what to change or how. It’s hard to give up the familiar for the unknown. In therapy we gain the insight that allows us to transform and move forward. I believe we contain the innate ability to heal.

    In psychotherapy we work to put into words what concerns you now and what is yet to be spoken. Proceeding with equal parts curiosity and openness, we use this opportunity to discern what is pos-sible from what is not. What you learn orients your own way of forging your path.

    You know what is on your mind, what beckons for your attention. A therapeutic conversation can begin here.

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

    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.

    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.

    Talking to friends or family is different from speaking with a therapist.

    “If every event which occurred could be given a name, there would be no need for stories.” - John Berger, Once in Europa. Our lives unfold in the telling, and in our listener’s responses. Through telling and being heard we may be altered, our symptoms changed. This is the vision of possibility that the psychotherapeutic process offers.
