Welcome and congratulations on taking the first step towards improved emotional health and stronger relationships.
For some of you, this first step is sizable. Because the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist can be life changing, it is important to pick the therapist who is the right fit for you. We encourage you to ask for recommendations from people that you trust, review therapists’ websites, call a few therapists, and then choose the therapist that feels like the right fit for you or your family.
What does the “right fit” look like? We recommend that you look at three factors: When first meeting, does the therapist seem like someone with whom you or your child would feel comfortable and safe in talking about difficult subjects? Is this a therapist that has experience and training to address your specific needs? Do you feel that “click” that this is a therapist who can listen, understand, and help you find the right tools to address your issue while acting as a guide in your journey towards a healthier and happier version of you?
Because there are many, many therapists to choose from, you may feel overwhelmed. However, the fact that you are looking at this website means that you have already started your journey.
Again, congratulations! Now we encourage you to take the next step.
Our Approach
We tailor treatment to meet the unique needs of each client, and use evidenced-based modalities of therapy such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Psychodynamic Therapy.
Adult Counseling in San Rafael, CA
The heart of our work is to help you know and trust your deepest feelings, bring new and healthy thinking towards past traumas, and learn skills to help you manage daily living that result in an emotionally authentic life. When you become more intimate and present with yourself, you become more intimate and authentic with others. Individual therapy can be an opportunity to learn and grow, to reconnect with your deeper, truer self, and to make mindful changes to improve your life.
How Individual Therapy Works
We begin our therapeutic work by listening and understanding your story and the experiences that may have contributed to or created the current situation. Together, we will define the agreed goals of therapy, explore behaviors and thinking/emotional patterns that are destructive, and create a strategy to find the best techniques to help you transform. Depending on your needs, counseling can be short or long term. We will listen to you free of judgement and compassionately challenge you when needed. Therapy will be a safe and supportive place where you can laugh, cry, and grow into your better self.
