Psychodynamic Therapists in Boca Raton, FL

My goal is to help my clients identify and change unhealthy patterns of eating and exercise, develop coping strategies for managing stress and emotions, and set realistic and achievable weight loss goals.

Hello. Thank you for your interest in my profile on Psychology Today. I am a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist in Boca Raton, Florida where I maintain a private practice. I treat my clients as whole human beings and speak to them from my soul. This authentic approach allows clients to feel the safety and security needed to make the therapeutic changes that they so desire. My field training was done in a multi modal treatment center in Los Angeles, CA. They prided themselves on connection and this value is embedded in the work that I do with my clients.

I think that we need to be the safest when we are able to be with ourselves. I have also found that life has the ability to make that hard at times and through my own journey of struggling and learning about my mental health, I learned a lot about being human. I don't believe that we are born resilient, I believe it is built into us through getting knocked down and learning different ways of getting back up. This isn't always fun but it's always worth it. I am all about empowering my clients to learn who they are, so they can better love themselves, and be better able to obtain and maintain a happier and healthier life.

Hello, while we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. I provide an empathic and non judgmental place where where you can feel free to share your thoughts and emotions. With an integration of complimentary therapy approaches and techniques, I draw from what is most helpful for each individual. If you are looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging time or you're just ready to move on in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

If you are seeking to understand yourself and why you are experiencing short or long-term emotional, mental, interpersonal distress (i.e., family, relationships, work), my goal is to help you. Today more than, all ages need help in coping as the world has changed, disrupting our daily lives, and requiring new strategies and skills to handle all the external and internal stressors. Gaining greater acceptance and self-control over unwanted thoughts, feelings, or behaviors can improve your outlook as you gain new insights, opportunities, experiences, and even choices for experiencing the life you want to live.

In my practice, I work with individuals, couples, and families. As your therapist, I believe in helping you attain wellness, sustainable growth, and develop insight and skills so you can achieve your goals. Therefore, my approach to psychotherapy is collaborative. As we work together, it is my role to help empower you through the identification of your strengths and to build skills as a means of achieving understanding, emotional wellness, and attaining your goals. My areas of practice include but is not limited to anxiety and mood disorders, relationship issues, and human sexuality.

I come with 35 years experience working with couples, individuals, and adolescents. It takes great courage to take the initial step to enter therapy and to take responsibility for change. I am aware that everyone wants their story to be heard and I offer a safe, non-judgmental, compassionate space to meet you where you are. I am of the perspective that we are more than our stories. There is a deeper truth to our beings and our existence that is yearning to be revealed

I have been in private practice for the past forty years working with individuals, couples and groups. Presently I am a relationship specialist for both couples and singles, specializing in infidelity and communication issues. I teach skill-based love because without good communication and conflict resolution skills, people act out with affairs rather than acting in and talking. I love working with couples " on the brink" no matter how hopeless a situation may feel. After an affair, a couple can create a better relationship than they had before. Healing and growth are possible. I want to help to make your relationships better.

My passion is helping individuals and couples create deeper levels of emotional and sexual intimacy. In adults, romantic love can only be truly enjoyed when partners are able to feel safe and secure in turning to each other for their needs. My role as a therapist is to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore unfamiliar and uncomfortable emotional experiences, without feeling blame, shame or judgment.

As a Clinical Psychologist, I believe that change occurs within the individual through understanding and awareness of the issue. By viewing the therapist as a warm, accepting participant, one can develop trust and allow the process of self-exploration to begin. Throughout the process of psychotherapy, the patient can learn about the parts of themselves that remain hidden and out of their awareness. More specifically, aspects of themselves that contribute to their difficulties and prevent personal growth.

Do you feel overwhelmed, alone, down, or misunderstood? Maybe you feel like you don’t even understand yourself. Do you feel like you need someone to talk to who won’t judge you and will be helpful already? I am here to help you get out of those feelings to build toward a brighter you. I can guide you through learning and implementing skills to thrive. We will work to develop the skills to have good relationships, do well at work, do well socially, and manage family relationships. It’s time to feel like the amazing individual that you already are.

With specialized training in Rapid Resolution Therapy, I intend to get individuals free from past traumatic memories that continue to affect them physically, emotionally, and mentally. without reliving any of their past trauma.

Are you someone looking to fix things in your life that aren't working? Would you like support to make changes that will be lasting and impactful? I may just be the Therapist for you.. My practice is based on the idea that a good therapeutic relationship along with practical strategies can help you look at what’s working and not working in your life and learn to make meaningful choices that will help you live the life you want.

Facing difficulties in life can seem overwhelming, seeking therapy is a courageous first step in your journey for emotional wellness. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Board Certified Art Therapist, certified in EMDR, I work from a client centered, strength based methodology to address personal life challenges. I believe in a collaborative approach, assisting clients find meaning from their struggle and create a path towards healing. I have found the benefit of integrating Art Therapy within the counseling relationship makes it possible to express what sometimes might be difficult or impossible to communicate with words.

If you seek to maximize your potential, feel more confident and make choices that you are not sure about, I will help you learn how to listen to yourself and connect to what you already know but maybe not yet aware of. If some of your relationships don't seem to work out, and it is not clear to you - why - we'll try to find out what gets on your way and prevents you from being truly connected to the people you want to be connected to.

My practice is built on honesty, empathy, and direct feedback. I offer my clients legacy experience, compassion, a healthy challenge when needed, and a genuine desire to empower people to live the life they were meant to live. Together, we can identify and implement changes to connect you to your authentic self and goals.

We all need someone to talk to! Life can be challenging and sometimes just reaching out for "a soft place to land" can be very beneficial. I have been in practice for many years and have worked with various age populations. Although the mind and body goes through some aging processes, the central themes typically remain the same: sadness over losses- spouses, children, friends, finances and our changing bodies. We experience common feelings of loneliness, fearfulness, isolating, and adjusting to the new "norm" for each of us. We can explore these feelings together. With my patients we focus on their individual needs and strengths.

If you are looking to heal your relationship with yourself or others, seeking recovery from sexual compulsivity and addictive disorders or interested in resolving family of origin trauma, I can help. At our practice my team and I use carefully chosen therapeutic and experiential techniques to guide clients through the process of restructuring limiting beliefs about themselves and their environment allowing them to create more effective and fulfilling lives.
