INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Do you feel disconnected from yourself and others? Do you find it difficult to identify, understand, or manage your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors? I view individual therapy as a deeply meaningful and collaborative process that can serve as a catalyst to shifting the way you relate to yourself and others. This allows for more fulfilling and meaningful relationships, and the subsequent easing of psychological symptoms.
As our world becomes ever more interconnected, you may have observed shifts in your patients that might include overlapping and intersecting cultural and racial identities. I have training and experience in both individual and group supervision, and specialize in working with integrating the clinician's own intersectionality into the therapeutic relationship along with possible parallel processes.
Thinking of starting your own solo private practice? From reviewing business structures, federal/state/city taxes, and EHRs, to health insurance, insurance credentialing, and saving for retirement, the choices are numerous and overwhelming with no one-size-fits-all option. I can work with you to narrow down options in a way that is respectful of your personal and professional ethics.
