Therapy for Therapists

---

I can think of no greater gift you can offer yourself—and your clients—than to be in your own therapy. You are your most important client. 

Therapists carry their own unique histories and patterns, and engaging deeply with your own story can strengthen your resilience, insight, and capacity to thrive in this demanding and meaningful work.  

As a former professor in a graduate clinical psychology program, I have been closely involved in the training of new therapists. I have always found great fulfillment in working with both emerging and seasoned clinicians as they explore their inner worlds through therapy. 

The work of being a therapist is challenging enough to make your own therapy not just valuable, but essential. Even Sigmund Freud recognized this, saying, “No one who, like me, conjures up the most evil of those half-tamed demons that inhabit the human breast, and seeks to wrestle with them, can expect to come through the struggle unscathed.”

The path inward is deeply meaningful and often transformative, both for yourself and for those you help. If you'd like support along the way, I'd be delighted to hear from you.   

I practice Depth psychotherapy which is informed by Psychoanalytic and Jungian Analytical theories. I seek to provide an environment which enhances your understanding of yourself, as I believe that people can and do make important and positive changes based on this sort of insight and on the process of seeking to acquire it.

Every therapist gets stuck now and then.  Many find it helpful to think with another therapist.   Click on the link below to learn more about consultation.
