Core Psychotherapy
(Avoid pronouns, use my first name)
Counselor, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
The emphasis is on creating a safe, supportive environment in which to explore and develop insights into underlying feelings and thoughts.
We have multiple therapists. As a group, our approach is informed primarily by psychodynamic principles. The emphasis is on creating a safe, supportive environment in which to explore and develop insights into underlying feelings and thoughts. Together we will uncover deeply held assumptions that, although may have been useful at one time, today reinforce ways of coping in the world that are no longer effective or relevant. Through guidance in therapy, a person learns that there are a range of options for solving problems that previously were unknown, felt out of reach, or were avoided due to an internal conflict.
