 | Services Play therapy for children 3 to 12 years old:
Perhaps your child is insecure and shy, acting aggressively, not doing well in school, or suffering from a recent loss, such as a death or divorce, and seeming depressed or anxious. Many children suffer from stress and anxiety these days. Since play is a natural media for children, your child will be given an opportunity to play out his or her accumulated feelings of tension, frustration, anger, loss, and insecurity. Using a variety of play materials, the child brings these feelings to the surface and learns to manage them or abandon them. This can free your child’s imagination and bring a sense of personal power and self-acceptance. Adolescent therapy:
Counseling with teenagers is complex. Theirs is a difficult life transition, one that takes particular understanding from the adults in their lives. Depending on the circumstances, I like to involve the parents and siblings in family sessions, as well as seeing the teenager individually. Couples/marriage/relationship therapy:
Whether it be a married couple, a couple seeking pre-marital counseling, or any other romantic relationship, each couple brings to therapy its own dilemmas. I am committed to sitting with you as you unravel the current and underlying problems in your relationship and work towards mutual respect, effective communication regarding your needs and wants, and getting the friendship and love flowing again between you. Family therapy:
In my work with children, I always involve the parents and sometimes siblings in family sessions. Remarkable and rewarding results can come from these family meetings. The benefits of family meetings are many; creating a space for respectful conversations, having a place and a time where everyone has an equal voice, solving problems collaboratively, diminishing sibling rivalry, and many more. Individual therapy for men and women:
A variety of problems or dilemmas bring people to seek counseling: anxiety, depression, compulsive overeating, bulimia, recovery from sexual or physical abuse, divorce recovery, women’s issues, grief, loss, identity issues and difficult life transitions. From time to time you might feel stuck in a problem, having used all your usual resources. Psychotherapy offers a process of breaking through the blocks with insight, understanding, and an opportunity to choose different behaviors. Weight loss counseling:
Do you eat when you’re not hungry? Do you have trouble finding the motivation to exercise? Are you confused by all the hype surrounding weight loss? I offer weight loss counseling from an experienced therapist, assistance planning an appropriate exercise routine, help monitoring a healthy eating plan (NO FAD DIETS), answers to the psychology behind weight loss, and an alternative to the drastic measures of other diets. I have customized programs for adults, teens, and children. Please browse www.fitmb.com and here for more information. Please contact me for fees and appointments. | |
