Psychotherapy is the professional care of another by a qualified provider.
This care is provided through the use of talk and communication.
Ancient Greek: psyche (soul) therapeia (healing)
About the work I do
I am licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California (MFC39060) and New Mexico (CMF0184921).
Most of the work I do is customized insight-oriented psychotherapy. Insight-oriented means there is a focus on the client expanding their awareness or consciousness, through a variety of therapeutic interventions. Customized means that each client is different and would benefit from interventions from a variety of schools of psychology and other domains of interest, not just one cookie cutter approach for every client.
