Who We Are

Welcome
Your visit to this website may be a small step towards a better you.

People often begin with therapy because they are unsatisfied with parts of their life, or they find themselves repeating problematic patterns. Many people experience specific symptoms that they want to alleviate; others want to achieve long standing changes in themselves,their relationships and ways they have come to think and feel. Therapy focuses on the relationship with both oneself and others, and through a process of discovery with a professional, the capacity for authenticity and expression is enhanced. Discovering the intricacies of one’s internal world creates positive change, and symptoms begin to dissipate when a person is able to gain insight, and freely express their emotions. In order to accomplish this, an environment of trust and understanding is created where emotional expression will open doors that lead to a fulfilled self and a balanced emotional world.

You control the pace and direction of the therapy with Dr Chuck. In your first two to three meetings, Dr. Chuck will evaluate your needs. He will suggest possible directions and a course for treatment with you in order to best balance symptom reduction and long term growth. In other words, the course of treatment will depend on what you are experiencing and what you ultimately desire.

Therapy

Individual Therapy

Many individuals seek therapy for problems such as excessive worry, insomnia, addiction, low self-esteem, or depressed mood. Others find therapy useful in order to gain more satisfying relationships or experience personal growth and development.

Therapy Process

The process of therapy and the positive change that therapy creates can have a paradoxical effect that can cause anxiety and emotional confusion. For change and growth to occur, usually familiar and comfortable ways of thinking and being must be modified.

Depth Psychology

Depth psychology most often refers to approaches to therapy that are open to the exploration of the subtle, unconscious, and transpersonal aspects of human experience. Most simply stated, depth psychology is about the relationship between the conscious and the unconscious, and making what is unconscious, conscious.

Substance Abuse

Licensed Clinical Psychologist # 24995

Usually problems with substance abuse and addiction are related to underlying problems that are not always recognizable. In this way, substance abuse frequently can be a symptom of anxiety, depression, or some other related issue. In many cases people are unaware of the underlying problems entirely.

Couples Therapy

Couples frequently seek therapy because of ongoing distress in their relationship. Couples therapy can be particularly helpful to those who are struggling with frequent unproductive arguments, a lack of intimacy, or difficulty communicating and accommodating each other’s individual wants and needs in a relationship.
