I’ve got big news! I have launched a virtual psychotherapy practice. I was able to find a practice management company that takes care of all of the things involved in running a therapy practice that I don’t enjoy, such as credentialing, scheduling, and billing. That allows me to focus on the parts of providing psychotherapy that I find interesting and fulfilling.
I’m looking forward to working with adults that are ready to do the work. That includes addressing the thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that are preventing them from creating the life they desire. I plan to focus mostly on issues such as:
*anxiety *grief *situational depression *stress management
I’ve written many blog posts that explain my views on anxiety. As someone who has periodically experienced symptoms of anxiety it is a topic near and dear to my heart. Through the years I’ve employed multiple strategies for symptom management, personally and professionally. I really like walking that path with my clients. I like watching them feel much more confident and capable of managing the thoughts and physical sensations that occur. Check out this article by clicking here.
When working on stress management in therapy I like to focus on management of situations, management of expectations, management of time, and management of perceptions. Some, or all, are involved in the experiences we label as stress.
I’m particularly excited to work with people who experience performance anxiety or other blocks to creative expression such as writer’s block. I am rarely bothered by performance anxiety, probably since I started performing publicly as a child, but I know many people who find this debilitating. It saddens me when someone is unable to share their talents with others because of performance anxiety. There are techniques that help with this and I am excited to help people implement them. As an author and composer I have experienced writer’s block and actually remember it showing up as far back as high school. Again, this isn’t something you have to just live with.
Grief is a fact of life. I don’t know anyone who goes through life without experiencing loss. How we deal with it varies widely and includes many cultural, religious, and family factors. I’ve experienced many significant losses in my life and know how important it is to have a safe space where you can express your thoughts and feelings, but also to learn practical techniques for decreasing grief’s negative impact on your life.
My practice is accepting many different commercial insurances but also offers a self pay option. Ready to get started? Click here for scheduling.
