Rebecca Ring, MA, LMFT

Do you sense that you could be more, but you find yourself limited by negative thoughts andor overwhelming emotions? Or has your whole life seemed to have disintegrated into nothing recognizable, and you are struggling to make sense of it all? These are common symptoms of "butterfly-itis". The common stages of which are the "caterpillar stage" or the "chrysalis stage". Whether you are feeling stuck as a "caterpillar meant to be a butterfly" or feeling overwhelmed by the process of a "caterpillar becoming a butterfly", I provide a compassionate, collaborative, and supportive environment in which to heal, grow, and move on to live a fuller and more meaningful life. My four basic tenets as a therapist are as follows: 1. I need to approach each client with empathy, acceptance, compassion, and respect. 2. I believe that you have your own answers and healing within, so I have a client-centered approach to therapy. My primary role is to help facilitate your process of discovering those answers that will result in healing and growth for you. 3. I take an eclectic approach with regards to how I facilitate your process. I believe that each person comes with his or her own unique way of processing, and what works for one individual may not work for you. In addition, I feel that different therapeutic needs and stages require different approaches. 4. I believe our spirits need to be engaged in the therapeutic process. The journey towards healing and wholeness is not for the faint of heart. A spiritual path can be an additional source of support, insight, comfort, encouragement, and wisdom.
