Daniel Gruner

Many come to therapy to change patterns of relating to others and themselves that they feel no longer serve them. I believe that these patterns, hard as they may be now, likely played some important role for you in the past. Perhaps addictions, habits, or defenses met otherwise unmet needs in your life, but now have become limiting and compulsive. I see myself as your partner in a process of deep listening, a process which facilitates growth, healing, and new possibilities for relating to your self and others. Specialties and modalities include: Clinical Hypnosis, gender therapy, trauma, addictions. Also see my group therapy option. I practice psychodynamic, feminist psychology. This means that my work with clients includes ways in which personal issues are linked to gender, race, sexuality, disability, poverty, and other forms of systemic oppression and power relations. Therapy is a space to explore what you have inherited from family and society, transforming what does not fit. I offer therapy to people of nearly all backgrounds, but I invite people to get in touch who typically have trouble finding a therapist due to negative past experiences related to therapist cultural competency. I welcome email or phone consultations to determine whether I would be a good fit for you, and if not, I can provide referrals.
