James B HallaPsychologist, PsyD

About

My overarching goal in my work with individual clients is to foster their sense of self-worth. Most of the individuals I have worked with throughout my career have had their sense of self damaged by others. As a result, such individuals typically feel they are failures, unlovable, etc., despite intellectual evidence of success to the contrary. When I can help people have a greater level of access to their emotional life without self-deprecation, change begins to happen. In couples therapy, our work will focus on improving your "communication," specifically your ability to resolve differences of opinion, conflict and problems without either of you continuing to feel "put down" or hurt. Similarly, the strategy we will use allows you to heal those unresolved moments in the past that still hurt.
