Find a Therapist in Waverly, Pennsylvania.

Psychotherapy is the science based art of understanding and alleviating pain; in recent decades it has also become about promoting and advancing meaning and experiences of joy. In my practice I first do a caring and comprehensive evaluation to make sure that I understand each person's unique story and situation. I then kindly partner with my clients in setting measurable goals so that we keep the work accountable and so that we know when we are done. I then collaborate with my clients in choosing the science-based therapy that stands the best chance of alleviating their pain, and helping them to make the most out of this lavish banquet that surrounds us all, as quickly as possible.

“The Golden Rule” can be a helpful guide to psychotherapy: treating others as you would like to be treated, with gentleness, pacing, and respect. If a counseling session is likened to conversing with a knowledgeable advisor on the doorstep of your home, psychotherapy can be like inviting that advisor into the “parlor” or “living room” of your inner world based on trust, at-ease-ness, and confidence in your advisor’s insight. My approach to psychotherapy is interactive and strengths-based, starting with cognitive (thought-based) or behavioral coping skills, and moving into awareness of family of origin themes and the impact of past trauma when needed to activate more enduring personal growth in the client.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.
