THERAPY/COACHING
A message from Dr. Smith: "I
understand there are many reasons someone might seek
professional therapeutic support. Sometimes an individual
needs a safe, confidential place to "think out loud" and sort
things out. Everyone encounters life situations such as illness,
death of a friend or loved one, or other life transition issues.
During those times it can be very helpful to speak with someone
you trust to respect your privacy, be non-judgmental, and offer
insights from another perspective.
At other times, a person may need help finding the motivation to act in ways to improve their work lives,
relationships, overall quality of life, and opportunities for transcendence. And of course, if someone is suffering
from depression, anxiety, trauma response, or other painful or difficult experiences, why suffer any longer than
necessary, or to go through it alone?
Sometimes I may assume more of a coaching role, sometimes Cognitive-Behavioral steps are clearly the best approach, and there may be other times when one needs to go deeper and understand the underlying influences acting upon one's patterns of behavior, thoughts, or feelings and hypnosis may be the most effective approach.
Hypnosis is known to be very effective in helping to treat anxiety, pain, adjustment to and mitigation of various
illnesses, weight loss, smoking cessation, depression, and trauma. I have also found hypnosis VERY effective in helping people sharpen their focus for work performance, sports, graduate, medical, or law school entrance exams and other academic-related matters.
While maintaining a mindful approach to life is always helpful and important, there is no one-size fits all in therapy.
I meet people where they are at, without judgment, and live and practice by the tenet: "Your therapy is about you and
for you."
