Many of my patients are recovering from addictions of various sorts. Many of them, as well as other patients, have mood disorders (anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder). I also work with individuals and families struggling with problems in work and career, marriage and similar relationships, and what are often described as existential or spiritual crises--the lack of a sense of meaning and purpose in life. I involve families in therapy when possible--people don't live and learn as isolated individuals. I emphasize three dimensions of therapy: a safe, holding environment that allows you to explore your life history and current situations; improved communications between internal systems within you and between you and the people in your life; and behavior change, which requires practice and self-awareness. Humor is helpful in all dimensions. My years as a professor (Clark, Dartmouth, Harvard) assist my work with another group of patients--adolescents and young adults who face challenging life crises including academic problems, social anxiety, dating and relationships, and decisions about drug and alcohol use.Introduce yourself to prospective clients.
