Thornton

ABOUT ME:

 

It's difficult to wander into a stranger's office and bear your soul. I know because I once had to do it myself. I became a therapist to pass of the gift that my therapist once gave to me. There is another side to recovery and would be honored to help you get there.

 

APPROACH:

 

I am not in the business of digging up every traumatic event that has happened to my clients. We have learned over time that this can be re-traumatizing to clients and is not productive. We have learned that people are incredibly adaptive and able to recover from much of their experiences with the tools they already have.

 

I am here instead to seek out the parts of the trauma that have gotten stuck or are keeping you from moving forward. I use current events to draw us into the pieces of the past that are holding you hostage. By focusing on those pieces, we can begin to help you build a life, that once again, feels peaceful and satisfying to you. 

​

I am an integrative, striaght-forward therapist.  I have a directive approach that incorporates cognitive-behavioral techniques, family systems therapy, EMDR and parts work.

 

ABOUT THERAPY:

​

f you've tried therapy before and "it didn't work" or you felt that you were "just talking" then I might be a good fit for you. I have a unique style that feels more conversational and engaging. 

 

Studies show that the most important part of therapy is that you like your therapist and feel that your therapist likes you.  So let's meet and see if we're a good fit! If not, That's OK too. I'll do my best to set you up with someone who might be better suited to meet your needs.
