You’re a driven person but your personal or romantic relationships seem to be a struggle. Why is it sometimes easier to meet your professional needs and not your personal needs? You might struggle with vulnerability or feel confused about your relationship. I specialize in helping people create better relationships and clear obstacles to those relationships.
The feedback I get from clients - both couples and individuals - is that I’m direct and actively engaged in giving people the tools to solve issues in their sex life or heal from stressful or traumatic events, leave bad relationships, and deepen intimacy and communication - all in an environment that is comfortable even for people new to therapy.
I choose an approach to therapy tailored to your needs. That can include EMDR - a type of therapy that people find rapidly transformative in healing from trauma. Clients move on from upsetting memories and free themselves from anxiety and self-doubt. Call or email to discuss if I'd be a good fit for you. Learn more: www.shoshanapolansky.com
