Services
Be it therapy, counseling, or coaching, our
fundamental orientation is experiential which means
that, unlike more traditional approaches that focus
primarily on talking, we help you actually have new
and profound experiences that enable you to truly
resolve core issues, move forward unencumbered, and,
ultimately, live your best life.
Our integrative approach is informed by cutting-edge
findings in the field of psychology which allows us
to provide you the most up-to-date and effective
care. In our commitment to offer you the best
possible service, we continue to refine our skills
by consulting and training with other experts in our
field. You can be assured that we will do our best
to guide you to the most appropriate service and
intervention to best meet your needs.
Here are some of the services we are proud to offer
at the Center for Courageous Living:
Our compassionate approach to therapy/counseling,
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy
(AEDP) is affirming, empathic, and engaging.
Throughout therapy we work closely with you to feel
safe, and to find and develop the courage to do the
emotional work needed to change and heal. We
actively participate in your therapy collaborating
with you to identify and overcome obstacles to
growth and help you on your journey to realize your
true potential. While your history is important, and
will likely be addressed, our focus is more on the
here-and-now. Together we identify what is happening
that gets in your way, and help you break free from
old patterns to do things differently. We'll help
you discover, make use of, and develop the healing
resources and strengths you inherently possess. Our
aim is to help you move forward in your life feeling
more alive, vital and more deeply connected to
yourself, others, and the world around you. If you'd
like, you can

Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)
is a highly effective, information-processing
therapy tool. EMDR allows you to reprocess traumatic
and disturbing events, memories, thoughts and
feelings so that they are no longer experienced as
distressing. At times it may significantly shorten
the length of treatment. When appropriate, we
integrate EMDR into our work. You can
learn
more about EMDR. For scheduling/fees/payment,
see below.
Having trouble creating or fulfilling your life
vision? Wishing you could achieve more in your life
but can’t figure out how to make that happen?
Coaching can help you figure out and take the steps
necessary to make your personal, life, business or
career dreams a reality. As psychologists we
incorporate powerful tools into our coaching
sessions that not only help you to realize the
personal and professional goals you’ve established,
but also help you clear away any personal obstacles
that may be thwarting your progress.
We enjoy providing supervision/consultation to
fellow clinicians interested in learning and
developing skills in experiential, emotion-oriented
psychotherapy and are passionate about teaching
state-of-the-art therapeutic approaches that help
people truly change and heal. We offer: 1)
Individual Supervision (both in person and
telephonically), 2) Group Supervision, as
well as 3) Intensive Core Training groups in
AEDP. Individual supervision can be done using
verbal case presentation, but the use of videotaped
clinical material is recommended and preferred. For

History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived,
