By now you have probably read so many profiles your head is spinning and your eyes are bleary.. Finding the perfect therapist is an impossible ideal. The goal should be to find someone who has enough clinical and life experience, enough training, and someone who is interested in really listening to you to help you get unstuck from where you are now. Just as there is no ideal therapist, there is no ideal patient. We are all wounded in some way, some more, some less. Whatever problems or symptoms are getting in your way, in addition to finding relief for them, developing self understanding goes a long way and lasts a lifetime. An insight oriented therapist who believes there are no quick and easy solutions to life’s problems, I try to listen not only to what a person is communicating consciously but under the surface. All of us get stuck at some points in our lives, and understanding what is creating the stuck is essential to change. We will become partners in the change process Whether you have been struggling for a long time or just recently, change is always possible. I don’t believe that we get points for suffering. It is always anxiety provoking to seek help. We worry that we will be hurt like we were before. Trying to understand self-defeating relationship patterns or views of self and others can create new perspectives.
