Find a Therapist in Shelbyville, Tennessee.

My work with clients who bravely engage the process of psychotherapy is collaborative and relational. Research has shown that the most important determinant in effective therapy is a strong, trusting relational connection between client and therapist. Feeling seen, heard, and known creates the foundation to help you discover new things about yourself, identify and change patterns in your life that may no longer be working for you, and help you become more the person you were created to be.

"Psychotherapy" is a word that has lost much of it's meaning in our culture. I encourage my clients to start over with understanding what psychotherapy is. The word comes for two Greek words--psyche, meaning "soul or life", and "therapeuo", meaning "to heal or serve". I am here to serve the souls of those who allow me to journey with them for a season, and to help them on a healing path. We often look together at the past, not for endless navel gazing and self-absorbing analysis, but to dislodge places where the client may have become stuck in his/her journey toward healthy adulthood. We also look at the present, and how his/her spiritual and mental habits are affecting their well being.

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.

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.

Psychotherapy sounds ominous, doesn't it? Conjures up images of lying on a couch, having your dreams analyzed or you explaining why the ink blot you're shown looks like a bat to you instead of a butterfly. Psychotherapy is really just a technical term for personal counseling. It means a counseling office is a safe place to talk with a qualified professional and caring counselor about what is bothering you. One of my clients expressed it well, "I want to understand why I struggle with some things; and I want to change those things. I know a better future is largely up to me." If that sounds like you, I can help.
