OUR APPROACH

Reveal. Release. Re-Engage.

Our approach is grounded in what we call “The Three R’s.”

Reveal

The starting point of therapy is a process of discovery—we look at all of the injurious ways you can be shaped by relationships with others (parents, siblings, other caretakers, peer groups, etc.) resulting in an arrest in the development of a true, authentic self. We provide an understanding of what lies out of your awareness, keeping you unfulfilled and stagnant.

Our treatment goals during this phase:

To identify the original self-defensive mechanisms that were developed to protect one from painful affect

To make unconscious feelings and thoughts conscious

To identify and make one aware of maladaptive mechanisms of self-negation and self- Sabotage

To identify and pinpoint the origins of anxiety

To articulate unformulated thoughts and feelings

To make explicit, implicit relational maps

To clarify internal representations of self and other

Release

We work with you to develop strategies to release the dynamics of internalized, deadening, stagnating and thwarting processes. This emboldens the conversations you need to have with yourself in order to reset your repetitive relational roles.

Our treatment goals during this phase:

To heal wounds from the past

To replace shame with self-acceptance

To transform internal negative scripts

To stop voices of self-negation and self-sabotage

To restore the sense of fragmentation caused by trauma

To gain/regain your experience of self-agency

Re-Engage

Ultimately, we help to identify critical tools required to grow as a thriving and vibrant human being. This helps you to address important relationships, life goals and aspirations. Our mutual work will help you to inhabit your own self-realized, authentic narrative, enabling you to live comfortably, make more authentic choices, and live with integrity. The goal is to develop a healthy template for new relationships.

Our treatment goals during this phase:

To embody your authentic self and to feel whole

To uncover your unformulated thoughts and feelings

To discover and express your own narrative

To construct corrective relational experiences

To develop a healthy and engaging relational map

To infuse your relationships with vitality

To build new representations of yourself and of others
