ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS

Hello! I have been doing psychotherapy and couples and family counseling for 50 years. (In mid-life I left private practice to co-direct the marriage and family therapy program at Michigan State University and finally retired after heading the one at Florida State.) Over the years I've learned that the key to working with you will be our relationship: You must feel respected while being seen and heard while working on your agenda.

Secondly, I learned that therapists can be the most helpful when they help us recognize and appreciate what situations have typified us (and our important others) when we have been the "best us" at the nicest parts of our lives — and consider with us how these positive insights can be useful in coping with challenging situations. Frankly, I think people stay healthy and grow stronger when they focus on their strengths and do it together.
