Thanks for taking time to stop by my web site.
I'd like to begin by addressing two frequently asked questions:
- Does psychotherapy work?
- Who can benefit by seeing a
therapist?
I am a full-time psychotherapist in Wakefield, Massachusetts where I see men, women, and children for a whole host of emotional problems.
Some have presented with serious life threatening mental illnesses while
others have had what we call “problems of living.”
I would like to tell you what I have learned about the value of therapy during
my 12 years experience. Yes, therapy is an effective tool to treat mental illness, but it
is even more effective when used as a tool by "normal" people
trying to live more fulfilling lives. You could say that therapy helps
people feel
more “mentally well.” What do I
mean by that? Take a moment and
read through my definition of “mental wellness” and you’ll see.

Do you generally feel that life has meaning? |
 |
Are you hopeful? |
 |
Are you present in the moment or stuck in the past or
the future? |
 |
Are your relationships in good order? |
 |
Are there substances that you abuse? |
 |
Are there situations with family members that seem
beyond your grasp? |
 |
Difficulties with an adolescent for example? |
 |
Are you grappling with career issues? |
People who actively seek their own growth and development
can learn to use therapy very effectively.
Used in this manner, therapy (which I’d prefer to call “coaching”),
can significantly improve personal relationships, increase job satisfaction, and
generally enrich the quality of life.
By clicking on the various web pages, you may learn more
about how you can apply psychology to improve things in your life.
Men work in groups to rediscover the
source of their power.
Women learn skills to improve
relationships with men and children.
Couples learn more effective patterns of
communication.
Divorcing
dads help each other parent effectively while going on with their lives.
Stepfamilies work through obstacles
of blending together.
Sliding scale fees are available for people with lousy
HMO plans.
