Greta Lutman

I have many years of experience helping adolescents, young adults, adults, families and parents function more effectively in their relationships and in the world. Rather than focus on diagnoses or symptoms, I prefer to see a client as whole person and to help them unearth the roots of their issues or problems. It takes bravery, commitment, compassion and sometimes a supportive guide, to face our pain and transform our relationship to it. By letting go of past emotional burdens, we can then more easily work to change the behaviors that result from them. To facilitate growth, I help people see their problems from a new perspective and to change their relationship to their issues. Experiential tools like guided imagery, metaphor, timelines, empty chair dialogues, and transpersonal approaches within the context of a safe therapeutic relationship can foster the understanding that the true healer is within. At times, our problems have more to do with past wounds than we know…and those wounds need care. I will work to understand your story, struggles, strengths, patterns, personality, motivations and resources. The main indicator of a good therapeutic outcome is relationship between counselor and client, and I am committed to what we can build together.
