I welcome people who are facing any number of challenges including life transitions such as divorce, job loss, illness, death of a loved one; all shifting the ground beneath us in dramatic ways. What worked no longer works. My trMy training as a Mindfulness Meditation Teacher complements training and practice in psychotherapy addressing a dysregulated emotion system resulting in various symptoms such as anxiety, panic, depression, and identity disturbance and sometimes even a desire to die or hurt oneself. There can be a painful sense of isolation and feeling unmoored. There is a way out; first understanding, then tools to heal.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy is rooted in the wisdom teachings of Buddhist Psychology and Western Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy. Clients are given tools that lay the groundwork for deep self-acceptance as they move toward meeting goals which may seem unattainable at first. Acceptance of how it is now is seen as the foundation for change.
As both a provider and a utilizer of therapy, I know it can be a long and frustrating path to find a provider that ticks all the boxes. Do not give up. Your well-being matters. Even when we are experiencing deep isolation, in unseen ways, you are connected to others in large and small ways. I am glad that you are trying to meet your needs. Don't give up.
