Frustrated with traditional 45-minutes-a-week talk therapy? Tired of therapists who just ask "What do you want to talk about today?" - I specialize in 3-HOUR SESSIONS helping you achieve up to 3 month's worth of therapy in each session. 3-HOUR SESSIONS give you enough time to get to the root and core, break through emotional walls and leave each session with less baggage than you came in with. You are not alone - many people secretly struggle with trauma, anxiety, anger, depression, compulsions and relationship problems and only get partial relief from traditional 45-minute talk therapy and medication. 3-HOUR SESSIONS give you enough time to fully resolve emotional baggage so you can become the person you were meant to be - YOU WITHOUT BAGGAGE! If 45-minute talk therapy has failed to get you where you need to go - Don't get mad at your therapist, don't blame yourself and please don't give up! It just means you need something more intensive. The first step is to set up a free phone consultation where I will help you decide if Achievement Centered Therapy is the right option for you. Credentials & Experience: Past Clinical Instructor at Yale University School of Medicine. I am certified to do teletherapy in 42 states.
"Ninety-five percent of therapists use some form of top-down talk therapy where you use your thinking brain to understand, control and manage your emotional brain. I am one of the five percent of therapists who use bottom-up techniques to help you to find and fix emotional hot-buttons and trigger-points in your emotional brain so that you can think clearly."
