Life is an adventure. Sometimes there are high mountains to climb, rough waters swim, or dragons to tame, but you don’t have to face them alone. I’m here because I know what it’s like to feel like you’re drowning. My goal as a therapist is to provide a place where people can step out of the storm and breathe. Working with teens and adults, I use trauma-informed and a harm reduction framework, at a client led pace. This means I will not expect you to “dive right in” and share your deepest fears or darkest secrets minutes after meeting me. There’s no pressure here. Whatever your focus is, that is where we will start.
This group runs for 6 sessions at a time, exploring the impact of medical diagnosis on identity, mental health, interpersonal relationships, and well-being.
Everyone needs a different perspective at one point or another. I invite you to bring your old strengths into a new perspective to improve current issues you face in your life. You may come to gain a viewpoint outside of your current network of friends and family, and to take a look at your own perspective. By gaining new insight, you will find ways to make positive change and cope with whatever it is you carry with you through the door. Together we can, through talk therapy, explore how you can become the healthiest you.
The Inner Work Group uses meditation and inquiry, combined with one-on-one work with Dale, group discussion and short talks by Dale, in order to help participants deepen their inner work. The group meets for three hours approximately every other week for three months, and the fee for this group is $300 or $350, depending on the number of group sessions. Sliding scale and/or work-study are available. There are local and Zoom groups that meet regularly. See https://awakentheheart.org/events/ for special one-time workshops and retreats.
In the heart of every problem lies its solution. We spend enormous amounts of time and energy searching for answers outside ourselves, when the answers lie within. Heartwork is a creative process, which teaches one to find fundamental solutions to both everyday problems and the more difficult life questions, transforming "problems" into doorways to compassion, insight and joy. My award-winning book, "Heartwork: How To Get What You Really, REALLY Want" gives one my orientation and the primary tools for working through one's issues. The e-book version can be downloaded at my website: www.awakentheheart.org.

Hi, I am really glad you stopped by. Are you struggling with the direction your life is going?

I have seen therapy help people from all walks of life and have a deep respect for its healing and transformative power. My approach is both active and receptive: I emphasize listening and learning from each unique person, while offering questions and observations to open up new insight, and specific suggestions when needed to create change. This helps me to gain a dynamic understanding of your situation and work collaboratively toward your goals.

Penfield Psychiatry is a private mental health practice with a focus on helping individuals find a new perspective on emotional concerns in their lives. We believe in a client-centered/collaborative approach to counseling in which the counselor and client work together to define goals and develop practical approaches to improve client’s lives. Counseling is most effective when a client regularly attends scheduled appointments and more importantly finds the courage to take action in their lives to do something different to effect change. Our goal is to assist with the change process for the client’s desired outcome.

Psychotherapy can help us better understand ourselves, our histories, patterns and relationships. It is a tool that can increase clarity and direction so that we can move more confidently in the world. We are a complex mixture of our experiences, the relationships most significant to us, what we believe about and tell ourselves, and how we may view our purpose or place in the world. With this in mind, I aim to do a few specific things in my therapist role: To think about how we have come to be who we are, to accept this, and to create space within ourselves where we might exercise new or different ways of being.

Mindfulness exercises will also be introduced and practiced.

I believe in the ability of each of us to shift our perceived setbacks and struggles into opportunities for growth and learning. I see my role with clients as a non-judgmental witness, curious co-collaborator, and vessel for authenticity.

Where does the future of care for those seeking recovery from addiction lie? Healthcare systems, clinics, even medical providers have been trying to treat addiction for the better part of the last century. But still the epidemic rages on. Our key - the full integration of people in recovery helping people get recovery is the missing link. There is power and connection formed when people with like experiences help each other. For the last 80 years this peer-to-peer coaching approached has proven to be successful. It's this coaching viewpoint that we take here at Courage to Change.

Becoming and living life as a Dad can be a wonderful, meaningful, life-changing experience… and it also can create serious challenges as you face a new set of expectations and requirements as a father. Beyond the very real “logistical gymnastics” that can be involved in parenting, you also face foundational questions: What does it mean to be a Dad? Who do you want to be as a Dad? How do you grow and change as a Dad as your kid(s) also grow? How does being a Dad now fit with other important roles and relationships in your life?
