Thomas PhillipsPsychologist, PhD

About

I work with adults of all ages who want to overcome barriers to fulfillment in their relationships and work. Common issues include anxiety, depression, physical health troubles, substance abuse, and damaging patterns of behavior in relationships. The focus of the therapy may be on challenging life-events or on trouble managing feelings that come up with life's ups and downs. Together, we try to understand the problems and reach agreement about how to proceed in the therapy. Therapy always aims for growth in understanding oneself and others, as well as deepening one's experience of meaning and purpose in relationships and work. During our work together, I aim to be dependable, respectful, and attentive in helping my client. With expert knowledge about how people work, I help clients fill in missing pieces in their self-understanding, heal past emotional wounds, improve their relationships, and overcome barriers, sometimes self-imposed, in achieving ambitions.
