Finkbiner Counseling Services

My clients tend to struggle with intense, unpleasant feelings like shame, anger, guilt, fear, and sadness. Efforts to cope with these feelings lead to self-defeating behaviors that contribute to a wide range of problems across various life domains. These feelings and behaviors can usually be traced back to maladaptive beliefs that sound like “I’m a failure,” “I’m not good enough,” or even something like “I’m just too much.” The problem with beliefs like this is that they don’t respond well to traditional CBT therapy. That’s where I come in with something different.

Schema Therapy teaches you how to manage your emotions, communicate in ways that others can hear you, and access vulnerability so you can have healthy relationships with yourself and others. When my clients leave therapy, they feel like they have more control over the world – rather than constantly feeling like they are at the mercy of it.

If you are someone who lives in states of collapse and shutdown, I can lend energy. Conversely, if you are trapped in fight or flight, I can aid in redirecting and slowing you down. When appropriate, I also enjoy sharing stories and bringing humor into the space. How will you know if we are a good fit? Email me today to book a free 15-minute phone call.
