Marc Adams
(He/Him/His)
Certified Clinical Social Worker (CSW)
I use an integrated approach that allows for a spontaneous and creative interaction and exploration of your concerns and difficulties during our work.
My approach is grounded in fundamental therapeutic modalities that include Jungian psychology, existential analysis, cognitive behavioral therapy, logotherapy, family systems, and depth psychology. Our sessions may include reviewing dreams, tapping into creative aspects that have been dormant, being present to shadow aspects, discerning a path for navigating the practical issues in life, and learning new skills and insights for managing interpersonal relationships. We will also investigate what may be calling you to bring more meaning and purpose in your life while addressing what may be obstructing that calling. My clients typically experience some level of dissatisfaction in their lives that may manifest as anxiety, depression, anger, despair, shame, or frustration. These feelings are indicators of something deeper at work that needs attending in an environment that is safe and caring, with dignity and respect, and with competence. On a personal note, I had an extensive career in the financial services industry before embarking on a new path in psychotherapy. Along the way, as a lifelong student of new forms of creative expression, I learned Flamenco guitar, Argentine tango dancing, multiple languages, and continued to deepen my learning of depth psychology. My greatest passion is connecting with people, meeting them where their deepest concerns lie, and encouraging a healing environment that provides insight, understanding, and tools to facilitate change.
