What Is Your View Of People Who Come To Therapy?

I have great respect for people who choose counseling and psychotherapy as a way to heal and grow, because I know how hard life can be sometimes, and because I know that everyone has those parts of themselves and their behavior that are difficult to see, understand, or change without expert assistance.

Over the years, through my fulfilling career as a professional psychotherapist and counselor, I’ve heard many of my counseling and psychotherapy clients tell me how much they appreciate the experience of personal growth and self-improvement through therapy in general, and with me as their psychotherapist.

However, I also know that for people who have never participated in therapy before, or for whom it’s been a while since they’ve been in therapy, that coming to therapy might feel “new and different” in the beginning. But, I also know that people can adjust and grow, and that many people who are new to therapy can discover, through our work together as psychotherapist and client, just how beneficial, rewarding, and enriching counseling and psychotherapy can be.

Because I genuinely care about people, I’m very supportive and patient, and always have SOLUTIONS AND RESULTS as my top priority. Beginning with my CONFIDENTIAL INITIAL CONSULTATION AT NO CHARGE – – which we can do by phone or in my peaceful counseling and psychotherapy office in Encino – – and throughout our therapy sessions together, I will approach you professionally with kindness, compassion, understanding, and acceptance. And, as your psychotherapist, I will always give you my full professional experience and expert psychotherapy skills. Not only is this an important part of good counseling and psychotherapy… it’s also a big part of who I am as a counselor, therapist, and psychotherapist.

I hope you enjoy reading about my approach to counseling and psychotherapy, and how I can be of service to you as your counselor and psychotherapist. If you have any questions or would like to benefit from my counseling and psychotherapy services, I welcome your Phone Call or Email. I’m here for you when you’re ready…

What Is Your Personality Like In Therapy Sessions?

As a counselor and psychotherapist, I’m very professional, friendly, understanding, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. I’m also very interactive because I see counseling and psychotherapy as a collaboration between psychotherapist and client, to serve your psychotherapy needs. In a way, I’m like a trusted guide. My counseling and psychotherapy clients tend to really like my personality and energy as a therapist, and tend to feel emotionally safe, well understood, and happy with their progress.

Which Counseling And Psychotherapy Methods Do You Use?

As your counselor and psychotherapist, I will help you toward your therapy goals by using a combination of trusted, scientifically researched, professional psychotherapy methods gently enhanced by eastern holistic wisdom, for a well-rounded, effective approach.

My professional counseling and psychotherapy methods will be carefully selected and custom tailored to your specific issues and goals, and may include Humanistic, Existential, Gestalt, Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral, Solution Focused, Strategic Therapy, Family Systems, Couples Therapy, Guided Imagery, Relaxation, Dream Work, and Clinical Hypnosis.

Enhancing my ability to help you are my additional studies since 1992 in Eastern Philosophy and Holistic Health And Wellness, as well as my regular practice of Yoga and Meditation since 1997.

In addition to professional counseling and psychotherapy methods and wisdom, which are very important for helping people heal and grow in counseling and therapy, scientific research shows that one of the most important keys to successful counseling and psychotherapy is the connected, trusting psychotherapy relationship that develops between psychotherapist and client.

As a psychotherapist, this is why, in addition to my professional education, training, and experience in psychotherapy, I place such high value on supportive, understanding, customized care.

Across the globe, there are many approaches to life and psychotherapy, each with their own value. Integrating the best of them into effective counseling and psychotherapy services custom-tailored to your specific needs and goals is my top priority, because helping you live a happier, more satisfying life is who I am as a counselor and psychotherapist.
