Our natural state is wellness. Yet many of us feel sick in our souls. Empty and discouraged, we seek creative bandaids to contain our despair : pursuits of money, relationships, sex, achievement, adventure, good works, productivity. Even health practices can become compulsive activities that fail to mend a persistent sense of inner broken-ness. Mindful Psychotherapy cultivates inherent wellness in the midst of life difficulty and opens the potential for real and lasting change. I am now honored to offer Mindfulness for couples as a certified Dialogue Therapist, a powerful time limited intervention : https://young-eisendrath.com/d

I offer talk therapy for adults.
I have limited availability for a few new clients. Sometimes we may feel stuck. Sometimes life can become overwhelming. Sometimes we have deep emotional wounds that have long limited our ability to experience peace, joy, fulfillment, connection, and love. Sometimes we just need someone to listen, be supportive, and offer another perspective. According to Kristin Neff, "The only way to eventually free ourselves from debilitating pain is to be with it as it is. The only way out is through." I hope to offer you this space to alleviate suffering and increase self-compassion, in order to help you more effectively manage life's stressors.

I work to help teens, adults, and families learn skills needed to manage anxiety, overcome depression, improve communication, and implement new ways of managing stress rather than turning to harmful coping strategies.

I help queer and trans adults struggling with eating disorders and other roadblocks to embodiment, feel safe in their whole dynamic selves. Do you feel that if you were a little more perfect, you would feel belonging, love, or acceptance? That if you only showed up like that or just tried harder, then you would love who you are? Do you crave to feel safe in your own being but are unclear on how to get there? Perhaps you understand how complex you are as a person but notice an uncomfortable resistance when you try and unearth these new parts. I would love to support you in becoming your most authentic self.

I understand therapy as the means by which we transform who you think you should be into an appreciation of who you are and how you came to be. I do not seek to cure you, but only to help you become more effective at caring for yourself. Diagnoses are used only to help you connect with communities or to develop more effective self-care. We will not seek to fix you because you are not broken. While this process of self-acceptance is powerful for anyone, I recommend it for young adults (16-25) or for people experiencing neurodiversity, complex trauma, suicidality, personality disorder, or treatment-resistant illnesses.

I am a rostered pre-licensed professional providing counseling and practicing psychodynamic, attachment-based, existential, and integrative therapies under the supervision of Licensed Psychologist-Master Brian Ashley to adults and late adolescents.
In a nutshell, my approach to psychotherapy is best described as a collaborative exploration of how our past experiences affect how we experience life in the present. Through better understanding of our own internal and external worlds, greater integration of emotional experience can occur, more positive meaning about ourselves, others, and life in general can be made, and authentic personal growth will result. Not only can distressing symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma, be reduced, but more full, satisfying, and resilient lives can be achieved.
