Find a Therapist in Palm Desert, California.

I offer psychotherapy for men who recognize that their lives and their relationships are not satisfying leaving them frustrated, angry and hurt. Whether with a significant other, at work or with their families, my clients know that something is not working but they are at a loss to understand what it is and how to fix it. This is where psychotherapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be very helpful. Understanding how we were taught to view the world and questioning those beliefs with a trained psychotherapist can lead to significant improvements in relationships and overall well-being. Please contact me or look at my website LarryGoodmanMFT.info.

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.

The process of therapy is and should be tailored to each individual's life experience. Research shows that clients in therapy, who seek assistance to deal with a whole range of issues, challenges, thoughts, and emotions, can experience a positive benefit. In our collaborative work, we will complete a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment, where we look at many life factors that may be contributing to those challenges for which therapy is being considered. After an assessment, we will have a clearer idea of core values, possible goals and many ideas on designing a flexible plan that is easy to understand and use to bring about the transformation desired.

Psychotherapy is not anything to be scared of, or intimidated about. Seeking out a therapist or being in therapy isn't an admission of weakness or some kind of character flaw. Therapy is a collaborative process and a partnership with someone who is trained in and experienced with facilitating personal growth. And in this process, you are in the driver's seat. Our minds and emotions and relationships involve complicated machinery just like our bodies do and in the same way a medical doctor helps you stay physically healthy, Psychotherapy is designed to help you be and stay mentally and socially strong, and continually in a position to take on life's many challenges as your best self.

I look at the root of your issue in the first session. I focus on what brought you into my office, what your presenting issues are and then i go deeper to look at where, how , and why your current conflict is present for you. Sometimes, it is simple like a response to a traumatic event. Most of the time the current event triggers an emotional response that needs to be understood more clearly. People act out their emotions through alcohol or drug addiction, cheating, remaining detached some or most of the time, anger etc, which are all symptoms. Yes in and of themselves they become an issue but going to the source of the pain helps minimize future acting out behaviors.
