With kindness and clarity, I will guide you in recognizing learned patterns of thinking, acting, and feeling that may be contributing to suffering in your life. Together, we will explore where and why you learned those patterns. Once fully understood, you will find the courage to transform those learned patterns into healthier ones.  I will actively guide you in practicing these new and healthier patterns both in the therapy room and in your life outside of therapy.

Once your old patterns of relating to yourself, to the loved ones in your life, and to the world at large have been transformed into healthier ones, you will feel lighter, more confident, and happier.

In addition to changing patterns, you may also seek therapy to receive support when going through a life transition such as leaving home, pursuing/changing a career, getting married, pregnancy/fertility issues, childbirth and parenting, marital difficulties, separation, divorce, illnesses, retirement, and the death of a loved one.

I hope this description helps to alleviate some of the mystery surrounding therapy and gives you the confidence to schedule an appointment.  If you have questions after reading this, please don’t hesitate to call or e-mail me for further explanation.

Warmly,
Barbara Groves, LCSW
