Psychotherapy, what is it? Good question. There are a million answers. We at Creative Now Therapy, see it as a process of learning about yourself more deeply, getting to your core wounds, so you can learn to make different choices and makes changes that are right for you. We like to use this metaphor to describe our process: you've been living in a dark room, bumping into furniture, can't find the door...but imagine if you could turn on the lights, move over to the chair for some rest, or open the windows. Maybe you even leave the room entirely. We're here to help you turn on the lights and figure things out. Get in touch with us today.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.
