Turn Insight Into Action: ProactiveChange.com/psychotherapy

A proactive alternative to traditional psychotherapy

In the world we live in, everybody needs some help at one time or another. For instance: When you feel stuck... Or stressed... Or overwhelmed...

I help you take a proactive approach to getting more out of life, work and relationships.

In practice, what does this mean?

- We view the problems you're facing as a challenge, as opposed to a disorder or a pathology. This is an opportunity to build on your existing strengths as well as develop new skills.

- We set goals and evaluate progress. Inner exploration is very much related to making changes in your life. In fact, there is a dynamic relationship between the two:
- - Better understanding helps you make changes.
- - But making changes also helps you better understand what had been blocking you.

- Getting in touch with feelings and emotions, and exploring your subconscious, is a process that engages your creative side. This helps you tap into powerful innner resources to better face life's challenges.

This is an integrative approach, grounded in both psychodynamic and somatic processes... as well as attention to practical issues. I know this may sound like a lot of pompous words. The next couple of paragraphs hopefully can give you more of a sense of what it's like.

The work we do is experiential. It's not about rehashing the same thing over and over again, it's about finding a way to "get it" at a deep level, so that you can make the changes you need.

We do not dwell on the past as a way to avoid present problems, nor do we ignore the past as if it didn't affect your life. Your "baggage" very much affects your present reality. This is why we can actually deal with it while exploring what you're doing (or not doing) in the present. The liberating effect of this work is to disentangle the crossed strands of past "baggage" and present reality... so that you can live more fully in the present.
