Find a Therapist in Frankfort, Indiana.

If you are feeling sad, mad, scared, having relationship problems, or sexual difficulties, psychotherapy can be helpful. Psychotherapy (or therapy or counseling) is a way to assess your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and determine what is working for you and what could be better. Therapy is about change. What would you like to change in your life? Just because a person comes to therapy, it does not mean that he/she has a mental problem. Many people come to therapy to simply better their lives and help their families.

I practice a form of psychotherapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (or ACT). It is based on the idea that thoughts and feelings are just a normal part of life and something we don't have much control over. Because of that, we need to spend less energy trying to control our thoughts and feelings and more energy working on our actual behavior and values. I will help you learn to overcome the difficult thoughts and feelings that come up for you while you pursue the things that are most valuable and meaningful to you.

The goal of psychotherapy is to alleviate distress through talk therapy rather than medication. It helps the client become more self aware by identifying feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and attitudes. The client then has a better understanding of self, and the cause of the emotional turmoil. The therapy process continues as the client gains knowledge about how to cope in a more positive way by changing thought patterns, developing skills and focusing on resolution.

Family therapists are not generally thought of as psychodynamic in nature. As a Bowenian therapist, however, I have a strong affinity for the psychotherapeutic approaches. As such, I believe that the family unit, and by default the individual members of the family system, are deeply affected by the intergenerational patterns that repeat over multiple generations. Identifying these patterns and evaluating their effect on family members offers key insights about how and why the family functions as it does. Schedule your assessment at Chrysalis Connections and begin the process of constructing your genogram, or family map, and locate the unique intergenerational patterns of your family.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

Therapy is all about learning, growing, and healing. Your feelings let you know if something isn't right on the inside. Events from our years growing up with our imperfect parents, siblings, or caregivers give us wounds in our hearts. We carry those wounds into adulthood, and the feelings and psychological walls that go with them. The way to help your heart and mind feel better is to heal and move through the painful events from the past, coming to a place of acceptance. Let's work together to help you find new ways of interacting with your loved ones through learning new insights, reprocessing, growth and healing.

My approach to therapy is not a quick fix or a band-aid approach. It is not self-help advice or executive coaching. It is a process of research-proven, emotional surgery that gets at the heart of your issues and heals them at their source. If you’re like many of my clients, you’ve conquered in the workplace and found success. And yet, you’re not at peace with your life. Whether it’s stress, trauma, addiction, strained relationships, or a lack of motivation, something needs to change. Often, my role is to help successful men get their hearts back. I can help you rediscover your purpose, reconnect with what matters, heal your insecurities, improve your relationships, and leave a legacy.
