My Approach to Helping

Trying to find a therapist can feel daunting. Given this, I'm happy to spend some time on the phone talking about your concerns and whether or not I would be the right therapist for you.

All kinds of difficulties, large and small, can interfere with one's quality of life. Problems can affect a person's success in their work, satisfaction with themselves, or in their relationships with others. They can be chronic, as in long-standing self-doubt and shame that lead to loneliness and isolation, or can be acute and episodic. We all have problems, it's part of being human. For the most part, we live our lives managing the everyday tensions and navigating the challenges that living brings. However, there are times when stress builds up or one experiences difficult interpersonal disappointments. When this tension overwhelms a person's normal way of coping, symptoms such as depression or ineffective ways of managing may occur. This is what usually brings people into treatment. Everyone deserves to experience satisfaction in their lives. When this breaks down, it's a good time to seek therapy.

More Info About My Practice

I work with individuals and groups. Either approach to therapy is effective in treating personal and interpersonal difficulties. In one-on-one therapy, the therapist helps you make the changes you want to make. In group therapy, the therapist helps the group members help one another in making lasting changes. I've been leading groups for over 35 years and have been involved with online consultation and therapy groups for the past 15 years.

My groups meet Tuesdays at 4:45 pm, Wednesdays at 11:15 am, and Thursdays at 4:30 pm. All groups meet for ninety minutes.
I'd be happy to talk with you about how being a member of a group could be of benefit to you.
If you are a professional and want training and or supervision for group psychotherapy, feel free to contact me. I offer consultation as well as training towards becoming a Certified Group Psychotherapist. If you are interested in joining the Philadelphia Area Group Psychotherapy Society, I'd be happy to talk about the benefits of membership.

The following is a quote that captures the rewards of group therapy:
"The aim of group therapy is to learn how to trust, to disclose, to develop intimacy without fear and guilt, to express one's self courageously, and to respond honestly and freely to others. Together with the strength to accept one's feelings of intimacy goes the strength to express one's hostility or aggression and to master it." --Martin Grotjahn
