Lisa Whitsitt MA,LMHC,CP [more]

Areas of expertise: My clients tend to be people who suffer from self-defeating patterns, developed in response, to wounding relationships and learned self-cruelty. While some seek healthier, happier relationships with their partners or family members and others long for relief from conflicting emotions and negative thoughts, all want to reclaim themselves and live in the fullest expression of who they are. As a collaborator in your healing process,I offer you my genuine acceptance, a wholehearted engagement and the ability to embrace the humor in life as well as the pathos. Together we will work to unearth your sweet, lost self, and make room for you to shine.
Whether you choose to work individually, as a couple, or part of an ongoing therapy group, I believe that you get to be as big and powerful as you want to be. Your happiness matters. Email: ljwhitsitt@gmail.com Phone: 206-226-0999 |

Areas of expertise: My work is particularly helpful for people (and couples) who notice they are trapped in repeating cycles of loneliness, joylessness, failure, or chaos and confusion. These cycles are reenactments of what I call personal mythologies. If what you’ve always done to make it in life is no longer working, you’re probably living an outmoded personal myth. My warm, non-judgmental approach is designed to help you appreciate the underlying myth you are living, and then move beyond it into fuller creative expression, success and freedom—and into more honest and connected relationships with others. I offer individual, couples and group therapy.

Carol Peters, MC, LMHC [more]
Charles Johnston, MD [more]
|
Areas of expertise: My experience is extensive -- including fifteen years training therapists as clinical director at the Institute for Creative Deveopment and fifteen years previous to that in private practice and working in university settings. I work with a wide range of concerns including life purpose and direction, intimacy, anxiety/depression, life transitions, grief and loss, spiritual fulfillment, and professionsl effectiveness. As most people who see me are interested in in-depth work, specific concerns tend in time to branch out into more encompassing questions of general well-being, creative fulfillment, and personal potency. While those who work with me come from a great variety of backgrounds and address diverse issues, I am probably most known for my work with people of creative bent (I was a sculptor and musician before becoming a physician), individuals in positions of leadership, and people who are themselves in the helping professions. Whoever I am working with, my interest lies ultimately with helping that person be in touch with what to him or her most matters in life and to shape his or her life in ways that deeply honor it.

Paul Berkelhammer, LMHC [more]

Areas of expertise: I remain moved and challenged by a basic fact about people: while we long for growth and change, we are powerfully "wired" for stability. Early childhood history and genetics powerfully determine how we think, feel, perceive, remember, and attach to other people. As much as we wish for change in our lives we are disposed to maintain the status quo, keeping things "safe", familiar and unhappy. My training and approach to psychotherapy focuses specifically on this dilemma, to help people move toward growth.
The good news is that our minds continue to grow and develop throughout our lifetime. I provide an optimal therapeutic setting for my clients to learn about themselves and how their early "hard-wiring" effects present-day relationships and well-being. This increased self-knowledge brings greater personal choice, and helps to neutralize the internal strictures toward the status quo.
My strong belief is that therapy should help you move toward the life you desire and to increase your satisfaction in relationships. Email: pdberk@juno.com Phone: (206) 720-1500 |
