About

How does therapy work? You talk. I listen; I question, I give feedback. Relief and change happen: When you talk out loud in the presence of an accepting and savvy professional listener you can get clarity on the problem which leads to understanding and manageability. Sometimes it’s quick, sometimes slow. It’s a process. You’re likely to get enormous relief just from putting it out there. The relief comes, for sure, from getting the feelings out. But it also stems from being able to look at the problem by putting feelings into words instead of drowning in them, and from allowing the problem to be shared together.
