Introduction

Dr. Remen is a dedicated and seasoned psychologist who has been in practice for over twenty-five years. She is LGBTQ affirming and welcomes clients from diverse backgrounds. She has extensive experience treating highly sensitive adults whose emotional needs were often unmet in childhood. Dr. Remen is attuned to the inherent challenges and rewards of being a highly sensitive person. She is passionate about helping people understand and self-validate their emotional experiences while also developing a powerful repertoire of skills to cope with the challenges of living in a complex world. Dr. Remen holds the perspective that all people have great inner strength and wisdom, qualities that may be hard to access due to their life circumstances and histories. Her warm and accepting manner enables her clients to feel connected and safe as they explore such issues as painful emotions, trauma, and life stress. With curiosity and sensitivity, she assists her clients to access their innate inner resources to experience a profound sense of well-being. APPROACH TO THERAPY Dr. Remen’s approach to treatment is integrative. She is a Level 1 trained IFS therapist. IFS has a growing evidence base and is recognized internationally as a powerful treatment modality. IFS proposes that all human beings have, at their core, the capacity for profound healing, as well as different protective parts of their personalities that may manifest as symptoms such as anxiety, anger, and undesirable habits. By assisting her clients to connect compassionately with their parts, Dr. Remen guides them to apply their innate healing capacity to resolve these intense and habitual reactions and to feel unstuck. Successful IFS therapy enables clients to live full, flexible, authentic lives. Dr. Remen has also had extensive training and experience in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These mindfulness-based behavioral therapies have been studied widely and offer powerful strategies for managing emotions, tolerating distress, resisting impulses, and improving relationships. As a long-time meditator, Dr. Remen has personally experienced the positive effects of mindfulness in her own life. She is dedicated to sharing this effective means of reducing stress and increasing her clients’ capacity for experiencing meaning and joy. Dr. Remen believes that close collaboration with her clients is an essential ingredient for successful psychotherapy. She views candid, ongoing feedback from clients about how treatment is progressing as essential to their satisfaction and success.
