Thomas Bateman

Therapy, from my perspective, is all about balance and curiosity. High hopes and occasional tough love balanced with gentleness and compassion for yourself and your loved ones. Embracing and working toward change while also accepting oneself and loving our immutable parts. Curiosity about why we are the way we are and where we might go from here, and the openness and vulnerability to get there. I view therapy as very much a collaboration — I bring my expertise in therapeutic methods, you bring your expertise in your own life, and together we work to build the best future for you. I specialize in relationship counseling. Specifically, I work with communication issues in relationships, pre-marital counseling, intercultural relationships, LGBTQ issues, Non-monogamy, polyamory, and open relationships. In my family work, I work with adolescents and their families. Overall, I specialize in family systems approaches and anxiety, using CBT.
