the Virtual Couch 

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Services

the virtual couch

The virtual couch is how I conceptualize the modality of my psychotherapy practice, either via Zoom or telephone. I have discovered that working online is enlivening and constructive. 

Creating a suitable space to put thoughts and feelings into words is essential in psychotherapy. My physical presence in my home virtual office is vital to my being mentally, psychologically, and emotionally present for you. Therefore, I encourage you to establish a  consistent place to go to therapy, where you will be free of distractions as much as possible, which suits your image of a therapy office.  

What connects us and separates us simultaneously are our computer screens or telephones. We will undoubtedly encounter technical difficulties; we will not make direct eye contact because of our camera angles and will hear background noises. Yet, I have learned there is no better place to experience these intrusions than on the virtual couch, where emotional reactions to our lives can be spoken and understood. 

Your needs: psychological, physical, emotional, and mental, will be taken into serious consideration before beginning psychotherapy in a virtual setting. This frame will inform the guidelines and shared understanding of our virtual work to ensure a smooth and transparent process.

“In my therapy and consultation practice, I strive to lend my knowledge and clinical skills to appreciate and understand what may be contributing to the troubles of living and being.

I am devoted to the process of talk therapy because it cultivates awareness, discovery, and relief. Psychodynamic talk therapy requires active and deliberate listening on my part and a sincere interest in creating a therapeutic relationship that will, over time, provide the necessary guidance and consistency that leads to personal growth.”

 

I am licensed and registered to provide psychotherapy services in California, Colorado, Florida, Nevada, New Mexico and Washington DC. I provide consultation services nationally and internationally.
