| | | I often use a focused approach to practical goals in psychotherapy; however, some issues lend themselves to a more open-ended exploration, where you can reflect on your life and clarify what's really important to you. There may not be an immediate problem to solve, but you'd like to get a clearer sense of how you're feeling and what you want out of life. The rest of this section provides an overview of my approach to individual therapy. |

I want to make my services accessible not only to people located in and near Atlanta, but also to those who live in remote areas where there are no gender specialists with whom to consult. Your issues may relate directly to gender, or they may be similar to those faced by anyone else. Either way, it is important that you know that the counselor/therapist you work with is comfortable with, accepting of, and knowledgeable about gender variant identities and lifestyles. |

New York City Do you sometimes feel out of control? This may include
racing thoughts, worry, anxiety, sadness, anger, etc. Are you happy with the state of your relationship? This may
be family relationships, social or work relationships, or
intimate relationships with your partner. Are you unhappy with the direction your life is going?
This may include being unhappy with your job or career situation. Do you feel like the person you are on the inside is not the
same person you are to those around you? This may include
sexual identity, gender identity, self-esteem issues, etc. Most of us don't choose to suffer. Most of us are suffering
because no one ever taught us that we have a choice not to.
If you've thought about therapy- maybe now is the time. Are you ready for insight and change? |
