A good life begins on the inside. I believe effective psychotherapy provides a collaborative relationship involving caring support, humor, and spontaneity. It enhances self-awareness and self-esteem, aids in improved interpersonal relationships, increases coping skills, and provides understanding of emotional patterns. The challenges that draw you to therapy are an invitation to heal and are the beginning of new possibilities for your life and your relationships. My goal as your therapist is to provide you with tools and perspectives, empowering you to transform your life so that you can emerge a stronger, healthier person.

Most of us want the same thing. We want to feel reasonably happy and at peace on a daily basis. Content. It is our individual paths and our own often complicated personal histories that make happiness so uniquely difficult to achieve, sometimes. It is the creative work of therapy to support a person's capacity to access the very best part of her or himself. Once this occurs, people, essentially, heal themselves.

Are you in a difficult place, struggling with mental health and/or substance use issues? Are you confused about what to do next, or how to get out of the pattern? I am here to walk with you on this journey of discovery. I believe in people's ability to change and asking for help is a brave place to be. Through counseling we learn to live a full human experience - joy and sorrow, triumph and failure, grief and connection.

Most people considering therapy are deep into the pattern Albert Einstein warned of: "...doing the same things over and over again and expecting different results." Sadly, when life isn't working it can be difficult or frightening to think of options other than the old ones which perpetuate the distress and dysfunction. Finally picking up the phone can be the beginning you need. To learn more about my practice please visit my website at: www.drerniedowns.com

I am honored to be able to provide clinical services to those suffering from Substance Use Disorders. My ideal in practice is to form a strong, collaborative, therapeutic relationship with my clients. My style is empathetic, compassionate, and direct. I believe that by exploring thoughts, emotions, and maladaptive behavior patterns, we can become more insightful and understanding of ourselves. Through this vulnerable process we are able to create life-long change that will increase self esteem and the ability to form close interpersonal relationships with those we care about.

Many of us are trying to manage depressive feelings, anxious thoughts, and relationship issues. Many of us long for more connection with the important people in our lives. Sadly, like a frustrating circle, lack of connection with others frequently leads to increased depression and anxiety, which in turn increases your sense of isolation. Bringing awareness and understanding to the emotions underneath your communication with others, as well as learning how to verbalize these emotions so others better understand your experience, can be helpful in decreasing these distressing symptoms.

I focus on creating supportive environments for your entire family.

As a psychologist with over thirty years of experience, I continue to be inspired by helping hundreds of clients break away from the fear, worry and despair that once defined them, and create the lives that they hoped for.

Using these tools I have helped clients move toward more inner peace and hope. My profession offers me a unique gift to be part of their journey towards healthier relationships, thoughts, and behavior.

Are you or someone you know struggling with managing emotions-anxiety or depression, are there sexual concerns for yourself or in your relationship, or are you struggling with adjustments in your life, maybe starting a family or parenting children who struggle with behaviors? If so I would love to hear from you in order to see if I am a good fit to help. I love working with all types of family systems, currently with couples or adult individuals. I believe that part of moving forward towards change is supporting my clients in finding the solutions within themselves.

I have met plenty of people who have had poor experiences with therapy in the past, so I strive to be someone who can change their minds. I do my best to be real, respectful, and supportive of the people I work with while they grow to their fullest potential. I believe that helping someone to better understand their emotions, use their voice, build confidence, and work through any obstacles that hold them back, can lead to a happier, more fulfilling life.
