My Approach to Helping

We all deserve to feel our best. When we do not, it is because there are interferences. Dr. Tempinski has more than 25 years experience working with adults to appreciate and resolve these interferences through individual psychotherapy. Dr. Tempinski specializes in uncovering, understanding, and treating the causes of troubling emotional difficulties. It is important to recognize that symptoms are often secondary to underlying turmoil, conflict, and/or unresolved feelings. Our minds and emotions are so complex that it can be helpful to obtain an objective perspective from a professional who is trained to appreciate the complicated ways in which our minds work. The process of therapy is a team effort that aims to understand and appreciate the dynamics underlying the client's feelings and behavior. When this is done skillfully in the context of a relationship wherein the client feels warmly understood, dramatic change is possible.

Groups I Work With

  • Dr. Tempinski finds that the successfulness of psychotherapy is less a function of the type of emotional difficulties presented to her (i.e., she does not narrow her focus to a specific group of emotional disorders), and more a function of the mindset of the client. Clients who are suffering yet desirous of looking inward and analyzing the factors underlying their struggles are the most inclined to benefit from treatment. It is the individual's spirit of wanting to get to the root of their turmoil that drives the therapy forward and leads to rewarding outcomes.
