"We repeat what we don't repair" (Christine Langley-Obaugh). A simple but profound statement. In life, it is often easier to keep pushing through our daily struggles without taking time to understand the origin of the difficulties we are facing. Therapy allows you to slow down and do some introspection. In my experience, different people need different things in therapy. It is my job to work with you to identify areas of struggle and help develop a plan to improve your life experience.

Are your relationships strained? Do you feel like therapy is the next necessary step? Relationships can certainly be challenging. But, I believe we are innately wired for connection, and sometimes that wiring can get tangled along the way, resulting in resentment, anxiety, depression, and damaged relationships. Additionally, the challenges of maintaining a healthy work-life balance, experiencing feelings of inadequacy and limited emotional expression beyond anger and sadness, often lead to a disconnect from those we care about most. This becomes a source of frustration for us and our partners. We can work together to repair this.

Humanistic Therapists
How does humanistic therapy work?
One tenet of humanistic therapy is that people are good. The humanistic approach is concerned with a person’s ability to accept oneself. It likewise encourages a person to overcome self-criticism and self-defeating tendencies, as well as disapproval from others. This approach also emphasizes self-actualization and treating an individual as a whole person. A foundation of this therapy type: The patient is the expert in their life, and treatment often takes the individual’s lead.
Is humanistic therapy evidence-based?
Humanistic therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has found that humanistic therapy can lead to significant improvement, and for some people it can be just as effective as other therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy. The benefits of humanistic therapy are enduring.
How long does humanistic therapy last?
The goal of humanistic therapy is to understand a person’s day-to-day experiences. While sessions can be short-term and last over a few months, therapy can sometimes continue beyond that and last up to a year or more. And because patients learn the theory behind humanistic therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.
Is humanistic therapy effective?
According to research, many patients find success with humanistic therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in addressing poor self-esteem and self-sabotage, as well as improving conditions including anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can be long standing, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve learned during treatment.
