San Francisco Psychotherapist
Among all of my alternative healing services, I continue offer psychotherapy! This personal development tool can be extremely useful for people who are seeking a place to verbalize their feelings, sort through their life circumstances, make decisions, and heal from past experiences. As a psychotherapist, I will only provide my intuitive feedback (formally) or incorporate hypnotherapy with people who request it. I never force my alternative approaches onto my clients. Broadly speaking, the lens through which I view the psychotherapy process involves the following:
We all have an inner core of self. Throughout our lives, relationships, money, careers, traumatic events, and society at large reshape the outer layers of our core being. These factors influence our feelings and decisions. My work as a psychotherapist often involves helping people figure out what aspects of their lives authentically belong to them and which ones came from another person or place. The ultimate goal is to clear away the outer layers of influence - or manage them differently - and change behaviors accordingly so that you can heal and live more peacefully and authentically.
Finding the right match in a psychotherapist is extremely important. The psychotherapist's theoretical orientation, areas of expertise, and availability are equally as important as personality dynamics between psychotherapist and client. I specialize in personal and spiritual growth. Generally, people who seek out my psychotherapy services are folks who are reasonably stable emotionally, relatively self-aware, ready and committed to making changes, and looking to add a deeper level of understanding and meaning to their lives and circumstances. Most of these people have already experienced some psychotherapy in the past. My psychotherapy hours are limited. In order to maintain a practice that is both meaningful to me and addresses the needs of my clients, I require a 15 minute phone consultation before scheduling an initial session and may require a few sessions to get a better sense of whether I can meet your needs. You should also use this time to determine whether our interaction feels helpful. I would be doing a disservice if I provided psychotherapy while knowing or believing that I could not help a client. Thank you for understanding. I welcome your questions.
