My goal is to co-create a trusting relationship in which you can begin to explore and change the difficult patterns that have kept you from living to your fullest potential and happiness. We will work to understand the ways in which your history may have informed and limited your life and relationships (both with self and others). We will also look at how to transform, heal, and grow in the here and now; to respond rather than react when caught up in overwhelming emotions or negative thought patterns. I utilize a non-pathologizing and practical approach that includes mindfulness, self-compassion, and childhood trauma recovery.
The purpose is to create a support group that learns to get close to each other... Group is based on the idea that many of the issues people have in their lives relate to getting close to others. Sometimes our early learned patterns, create our greatest strengths, and sometimes these patterns are not effective, despite good intentions. Groups offer an opportunity to learn more about our "interpersonal" patterns. Symptoms such as anxiety, unhappiness, a general sense of dissatisfaction with life reflect the unsatisfactory state of our interconnectedness with others.. affordable. Sliding Fee. 773-9724 #3...

This is a weekly online group for mental health professionals and trainees. It provides a safe and supportive environment for personal and professional exploration. The general objectives of the group are to understand oneself better, improve interpersonal skills, and enhance professional growth and identity. Specifically, it aims to increase awareness of psychological needs and defenses, and promote working through emotional conflicts. Participants should gain insight into their own psychological needs and defenses, and improve their ability to use countertransference reactions for therapeutic purposes.

Group therapy offers a proven, cost-effective way for young professionals to improve their relationships. Want to feel more comfortable and confident at work and in your social life? Do you want to tolerate conflict better, stand up for your needs, and listen to others without needing to please them? Would you like to speak with your partner without prompting defensiveness or distancing, either in your partner or yourself?
Mindfulness/meditation training program is offered specifically for students and young adults. Skills taught can be helpful at many times, e.g., just before a high pressure exam or a big game, when you're too groggy to study, when you're feeling overly irritable or angry, or when your mind is spinning with unhelpful thoughts. Attendance at all four sessions and pre-registration are required. Consider a four-week experiment with your mind...it could change your life!

I am an Addictions Specialist with with 20+ years of professional experience in both NYC and Maine - in addition to personal experience with addiction and long term recovery.. most important factor when pursuing counseling is to find a "therapeutic alliance" that fits. I always recommend that clients consult with a few providers before choosing. Once a trusting alliance is established, I embark on a journey alongside my clients, which can be brief and solution-focused or longer term weekly sessions and ongoing support.

We are wounded in relationships. Anxiety, depression, anger, shame, relationship difficulties, unhealthy behaviors of every kind: most often, the sources of our challenges lie in things that went wrong in relationships: Things happened that shouldn’t have happened - and/or things didn’t happen that needed to.

"Empathy for Dudes" is an Action Group designed to help men develop better relationship skills, and expand their understanding of their own and others' emotions. Increased emotional intelligence will help you in business, romance, friendship, parenting, and being a good member of your community. Note the title means both "Empathy, for dudes" and "Empathy FOR dudes." The group aims to help men to become more empathic, but it's also about ensuring that men receive understanding. Not only because everyone deserves it, but because you need to experience what it feels like to receive empathy in order to fully understand what it's all about.

The Art of Loving is a group for couples all about how to communicate with one another with more integrity and love. How do we speak up for what we want? How do we say no when we need to? Disagreements are a fact of life, as are conflicting needs. But even within conflicts and disagreements, we can learn to speak our truth without harshness, and to hear each other with more compassion and understanding. The group format allows for a great variety of situations to explore and master. Sliding scale of $50-100 per couple, per meeting.
