Psychoanalytic Consultation

Emotions should be understood as “geological upheavals of thought" - as judgments in which people acknowledge the great importance, for their own flourishing, of things that they do not fully control — and acknowledge thereby their neediness before the world and its events.
Martha Nussbaum
My view of the psychoanalytic process encompasses the developmental nature of our life - of our present and past experiences. Through our communication, we work toward the discovery of one’s independence, creativity, and individuality - that is, becoming a person.
The goal with children and with adolescents is to restore them to the path of normal development. A developmental approach is utilized in assessment and treatment planning. The therapeutic time may include play, talk, and meeting with parents. Parental involvement in the process is crucial to the outcome of the endeavor.

I offer an initial telephone consultation at no charge. You can find out more about the psychoanalytic process and get a sense of who I am. In our conversation we can determine what could be helpful.

A sign of health in the mind is the ability of one individual to enter imaginatively and accurately into the thoughts and feelings and hopes and fears of another person; also to allow the other person to do the same to us…when we are face to face with a man, woman, or child in our specialty, we are reduced to two human beings in equal status.
D.W. Winnicott (1970)
