Is it becoming inescapably clear that your world doesn't fit you any more? Your potential's not being realized? You may not know exactly what that updated life looks like, but you sense the possibility... Maybe there's a wish for deeper friendships or a more rewarding primary relationship; artistic ambitions not yet realized; a sense of purpose that's as yet unused… I know what this is like. The frustration of gifts and capabilities that aren't actualized or recognized…. Humans vary widely in the particular forms of their desires, but we all seek to increase what makes us happy and feel demoralized when the way seems blocked.

Therapy is a very delicate change process. We learn to pay close attention to the way we feel as we move through our days so we can recognize & release habits of mind that block us from creating experiences in our outer life that accord with our inner world.

After 25 years in the field, and very many years of training, the theories I've learned have become a part of me. I work intuitively to create a relationship that works on your behalf. We'll just talk; laugh as often as we can; maybe sometimes cry together. I think of myself as a sherpa, one who can guide you through a highly rewarding process of change.

Groups

Ongoing psychotherapy group

Hosted by

Elizabeth Schretzman

Group work can be enormously helpful in making significant change in the way we interpret social interactions, thus improving our ability to succeed at work, creating friends and romantic relationships. Making every member feel safe enough to take risks is the first and most important group task. My groups work deeply to explore outmoded, self-defeating patterns and practice new self-actualizing ones. We focus on relationships and work; balancing the needs of self and others; as these affect us from our history, in our current lives, and in our process within the group.
