How Psychotherapy Can Help

We all need an impartial witness from time to time. When we have feelings such as shame, guilt, anger, grief, and when these emotions are interfering with our ability to live life on our own terms, then having a therapist who is compassionate, impartial and non-judgmental, as well as the skill to help you understand what happened and how to resolve these feelings is needed. It is my belief that this is the work of psychotherapy.

Important Factors for Choosing a Therapist

I believe the most important factor in choosing a therapist is your comfort level with the therapist. If you do not feel comfortable, and/or have a sense of emotional safety with a therapist, his or her level of education and credentials will not change that. I often recommend that people interview 2 or 3 therapists before making a decision.
