Common reasons people come to therapy are concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, trauma, grief and loss, identity and self-understanding, meaning and purpose, stress and burnout, and emotional regulation.
Diagnosis in the Context of Life
A diagnosis can be an important part of understanding what you’re experiencing, but it rarely tells the whole story. Mental health diagnoses describe recognizable patterns of symptoms that help guide communication and treatment. Humanistic psychotherapy asks an additional question: What might these symptoms be protecting us from, doing for us, or asking us to better understand?
Symptoms develop within the context of a life—our relationships, responsibilities, losses, values, hopes, fears, culture, and the roles we occupy. Two people may share the same diagnosis while arriving there through very different experiences and meanings.
Humanistic psychotherapy explores how symptoms take shape within a person’s life. When appropriate, this work complements psychiatric care, medication, and other therapeutic approaches while helping people understand both what they are experiencing and how those experiences have come to shape their lives.
- Anxiety Disorders Generalized anxiety, panic, and social anxiety often involve uncertainty, avoidance, responsibility, and one’s relationship with fear.
- Depression Depression can involve grief, loss, identity, hopelessness, and reconnecting with agency.
- Bipolar I & Bipolar II Therapy can help clients understand mood shifts while strengthening identity, relationships, emotional awareness, and stability between episodes.
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) OCD often involves intrusive thoughts, compulsions, perfectionism, uncertainty, and a painful sense of responsibility.
- ADHD ADHD may involve overwhelm, self-criticism, executive functioning, and building a life that works with one’s way of thinking.
- Trauma & PTSD Trauma work often includes safety, trust, relationships, emotional regulation, and integrating painful experiences into a broader life narrative.
What therapy is like
Rhythm and cadence
Weekly sessions help build and maintain rapport, trust, and continuity. Frequency is discussed throughout therapy and may increase or decrease according to the client’s needs and best interests. Some clients may benefit from temporarily meeting twice weekly; others may shift to every other week for maintenance work. We generally do not recommend monthly therapy because continuity is often lost.
What working together is like
Sessions consist of talking with, not talking to. We work to understand how your experiences, relationships, values, and ways of navigating the world have come together at this point in your life. Clients can expect authenticity, curiosity, careful listening, honest observation, consistency, accountability, confidentiality, and respect. Sometimes we’re even funny.
Starting counseling
The first session is mainly a chance to become acquainted. We review professional disclosure and informed consent carefully so you understand who we are, how we practice, what you can expect from therapy, and where questions are welcome.
