My Approach to Helping

Welcome to the Momentum Center For Psychotherapy and Career Planning.
I am both a psychotherapist and career planner. I have the expertise to help you with either or both emotional and practical concerns. I will work with you to facilitate the changes in your personal and professional life that you are seeking. If it is motivation you are lacking, we will work together to discover the obstacles standing in your way. If it is indecision, procrastination or anxiety that are troubling you, we will explore a variety of solutions to your problems in order to move you towards new ways of thinking and behaving that will enable you to find the peace of mind, well-being and fulfillment you are seeking.

While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life that exist today. By applying state of the art therapy including proven approaches and techniques, we will enhance your coping skills and provide you with tools to manage your anxiety, procrastination and depression. We can also discover how old patterns of dealing with yourself and others may be holding you back from experiencing a more balanced and rewarding life.

If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.
Please call or email me for an individual, couples or family therapy consultation today. I also conduct workshops and seminars for community groups, agencies and businesses. For your convenience, I have two offices: In Sarasota at 4370 S. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, Fl. 34231 and in Tampa at 14437 University Cove Place, Tampa Florida 33613.

Here are some quotes from Mary, a satisfied client:

Dr Seiger has been very helpful to me. she is such a great listener and cheers my successes. I have learned new skills that have improved my relationships with my friends and family.

Dr Seiger is terrific. She guides in a simple but powerful way, and before you know it, you are empowering yourself.

More Info About My Practice

I have been a psychotherapist and career planner for more than 23 years in New York City, Tampa and Sarasota, Florida. I received my Masters Degree from Columbia University in New York City and my Ph.D from New York University. My unique approach integrates traditional talk therapy with a practical, motivational model. Perhaps you would like a therapist who does more than just listen and wait for you to come to your own conclusions, I am that therapist. I have a warm, empathic, informal yet direct, professional approach that allows people to draw upon their strenghts and inner resources to overcome practical and emotional obstacles in their lives. I incorporate proven techniques including mindfulness based stress reduction, cognitive-behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy to find what works for each individual and couple. I am an out of network provider for Blue Cross/Blue Shield and I do offer a sliding scale based on your circumstances. I provide in-person, telephone and internet therapy. I look forward to being your partner in working with you towards peace of mind.
