I offer one-on-one psychotherapy with adults who wish to suffer less. As Haruki Murakami wrote, “Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.” I am an integrative therapist, drawing from various traditions to provide patients a unique, tailored therapeutic experience, generally working in a humanistic and contemplative framework. I treat a variety of conditions; please inquire about specific needs. Areas of specialty include trauma/PTSD (including chronic/complex trauma), grief/loss, mindfulness/meditation, support for chronic illness, relational issues, and dynamics related to narcissistic/borderline/personality disorders.
My aim is to help you help yourself attain total holistic health - nothing less. I work to create a therapeutic space that supports you in cultivating insight, acceptance, responsibility, and compassion for self and others. When we face ourselves and challenges authentically in this way, truth is easier to discern, and real and lasting change is possible.
Whatever brings you to therapy, my goal remains the same: to help reduce suffering, and by doing so, help create a more peaceful, moral, joyful world for all beings - starting by healing ourselves. It's my joy and honor to serve you! See www.mettawell.net for more info about my background and approach. Initial telephone consults are free and very welcome.
