It's Time for the Real You

We all spend too much time defined by stark characteristics given to us by others: Soccer Mom, Grieving Spouse, Laid-Off Manager, Young Widow, Gay Man, Lesbian Couple, Transsexual, and many, many others. While these characteristics may name something about us, they should not define us. We are all much more than just a collection of words that lead to assumptions about who we are and how we live.

In our work together, we'll explore those external characteristics and all the internal feelings, thoughts and experiences that make you uniquely you. You'll uncover your passions, your hopes and dreams, your vision of an ideal future. And once uncovered, we'll work to find the best way to get you to that envisioned life.

It will be fun, hard, joyful, challenging-and everything in between. But above all else, it will be real.

Therapy Mythbuster of the Month: 

"Once I begin therapy, I'll be in it forever. Therapy takes years and years."

Actually there is a lot of variation in how long people stay in therapy. Sometimes the process can go quickly if you're just working on one specific issue. Sometimes it goes more slowly if you're changing long-term patterns of behavior. Therapy can continue as long as you decide. You are in charge.
