Become the Best Version of You

Within each person lies a special soul that yearns for you to connect with. It holds the answers to living a fulfilling and meaningful life. Unfortunately, painful life experiences can burry the soul leading to psychological symptoms. Individual therapy with Soulful Psychology® can help you access the profound soul within you that can enable you to live harmoniously with the various aspects of your personality, heal unprocessed emotional wounds, and experience joy through maximizing your potential.

Gain Joy with Individual Therapy

We work with people to build resilience, heal symptoms, and develop stronger connections with self and others. Our methods include helping adults identify aspects of themselves that are uncomfortable to accept, heal suppressed emotions, develop a voice to advocate for yourself, and experience peace that comes from living in the present moment. We help our patients learn more about who they are at their core and integrate the diverse parts of their soul, as doing so leads to wholeness. Our patients often report feeling increased confidence and self-worth, enhanced passion and performance at work, and more fulfillment in relationships.

We Often Help With The Following Scenarios:

• People who over-intellectualize and disconnect from emotions. We work with methodological thinkers who tend to work in analytical fields like business, science, or law, to help them access repressed emotions that often are unconsciously buried to avoid overwhelming feelings that stem from life’s hardships.
• People who feel flooded by anxiety, and question if others care for them genuinely. We work with people to process traumatic experiences and also identify the potential lack of emotional support from primary figures, which could have contributed to feeling a lack of internal stability; we help reestablish security within oneself and in relationships. 
• People who feel avoidant of emotional connection and tend to end relationships when commitment feels uncomfortable. We work with people to uncover and heal experiences of abandonment so they feel comfortable in relationships and become liberated from the “leave them before they leave me,” tendencies that hinder genuine connection. 
• People who are perpetually mad and agitated. We work with people to resolve the underlying depression from feeling neglected that usually manifests in the form of anger. The hatred towards others tends to mirror the hatred one actually feels for themselves. We help people heal pain so they can experience the peace that comes from accepting love and compassion. 
• People who feel trapped in relationships and responsible for others’ feelings. We work with people to develop boundaries to protect against over-functioning for others and help them to develop the internal strength, courage, and resilience to listen to their inner-voice and individuate. 
• People who feel overlooked, dismissed, disregarded, hopeless and exhausted by the mistreatment of others. We work with people to rebuild their sense of self through validating and normalizing their experiences, empowering them to relinquish feeling small, and teaching them how to advocate in strategic ways to get their needs met.
• People who are prone to people-pleasing. We work with people to identify the expectations that may have been placed on them to keep their family afloat, so they can learn to reduce the tendency to acquiesce to people and begin to find their voice.
• People who are riddled with anticipatory fears about a negative outcome transpiring in work or life in general. We work with people to heal unprocessed fears that may have stemmed from previous events that induced panic and loneliness, so they can access resilience and determination to face and overcome adversity enabling them to feel sturdy and competent.     
• People who struggle with negative self-perceptions and feel incapable of success. We work with people to unpack the demanding and untenable requirements from primary figures in one’s formative years who diminished their confidence, so they can learn to set reasonable expectations for themselves and gain internal growth and solace from reengaging with life. 
• People who painstakingly long to be desired by others. We work with people to identify the hurtful experiences of being the outsider in groups or losing the attention of a caregiver due to emotional unavailability or preoccupation with other concerns, so they can learn to desire their own company and regain trust when engaging with others.
• People who struggle with boredom and loss of joy. We work with people to identify and process disappointments and dissolutions of primary figures who may not have protected them from chaos in the home leading them to become a parentified child, so they can grieve the loss of their childhood and reclaim playfulness and passion in their lives.
• People who struggle with addictions and eating disorders. We work with people to understand the intention behind their addiction might be to feel connection, consistency, and control, so they can find healthier ways to receive what they are actually searching for.

Our Revolutionary Methods

Soulful Psychology® uses insight-oriented therapeutic methods to help people better understand their psychological dynamics. To do so, we incorporate the following methods when working with patients:

• Deep Compassion: We recognize that our methods can be difficult as looking inward can feel scary. Because we care deeply about our patients and are extremely invested in and committed to their growth, we are warm, kind, and supportive in our approach so that our patients feel companionship and attunement alongside their therapeutic journey. We also care for our patients by encouraging and containing enactments, transferences and countertransferences to help patients grow.
• Mirroring: The majority of time within a session is spent focusing on the patient’s point of view so that we don’t interrupt the process of soulful expression that comes from the patient’s verbal and nonverbal communication. While we provide our perspectives and analysis, we tend to listen often in sessions to soulful content that comes from the patient and reflect back to the patient what we hear, which can help patients better understand their emotions and feel validated. Patients often try to deflect the attention away from themselves as they feel the discomfort of looking inwards; our approach is to redirect the attention back onto the patient to help confront and heal one’s true feelings. We provide patients with the corrective experience of feeling seen and understood. 
• Socratic/Philosophic Inquiry: The approach to soulful exploration includes questioning assumptions and biases to help patients evaluate what they know, how they know what they know, and where they came to know what they know. The philosophical approach of questioning expands the mind and is a foundational characteristic of being soulful; questioning creates more answers and direction.
• Cultural Competency: While we have universal, archetypal characteristics within our soul, we also are raised within a cultural context that shapes and influences our understanding of self and the world. Therefore, we find it invaluable to understand a patient’s cultural norms and communication patterns to incorporate into our therapeutic work so that we can tailor treatment to their unique cultural lens. 
• Wholeness: We help patients explore the various psychological self-states and archetypes (i.e., parts of their personality) that are ignored or suppressed due to being ashamed or uncomfortable with these parts of themselves; we then help patients learn how to integrate these parts of their personality into one holistic self, which can heal the tension between opposing internal forces so as to allow them to live in a harmonious state.
• Dream Analysis: We encourage patients to discuss their dreams as we understand dreams to be unconscious expressions of soul that communicate through images and symbols materialized in dreams, which enable us to expose content that the conscious ego often suppresses to protect from being overwhelmed. The symbolic content in dreams helps elucidate the messages that soul is attempting to communicate about so that a patient can learn more about parts of themselves that yearn to be actualized. 
• Resilience: We do a deep-dive into uncovered parts of one’s psyche/soul that yearn to be seen, understood, and integrated, which can be a difficult process. We help patients develop resilience by facing the fear of looking inwards at parts of themselves they have been too scared to face, which fosters growth, strength, clarity, and peace. It is a challenging and emotional process, but one that our patients often express as being invaluable. 
• Symptom Analysis: Symptoms are often misunderstood, which can lead to an exacerbation of their presentation. We value symptoms as communicators of the soul’s need for conscious awareness. We analyze the meaning of symptoms as they are markers that identify the various archetypes within one’s personality and illuminate the unprocessed wounds, unmet needs, and unfulfilled desires for connection. When symptoms are given attention and compassion, rather than managed or coped with, they feel seen and understood; symptoms then transform into soulful connection thus no longer needing to exist. When the needs of the soul are provided for, the soul no longer needs to use symptoms to communicate through, and thus symptoms begin to diminish. When symptoms subside, soulful exploration and integration take the focus of the therapeutic work. 
• Soulful Connection: Therapists and patients work collaboratively to be present, vulnerable, and authentic with one another to co-create their experience enabling the transformation of both therapist and patient. Being present creates a soulful connection that assists the therapist in recognizing the emotional reactions within themselves and the patient, so that the therapist can reflect the patient’s emotions back to them. Soulful connection includes the ability of the therapist to see themselves in the patient, which facilitates the patient’s ability to see themselves in others. Soulful connection also allows for deep attunement and analysis of soulful expressions that manifest often in the form of free associations, metaphors, artistic expressions, story-telling, symbols, dreams, intuitions, nonverbal communications, slips of the tongue, symptoms, and emotions. Soulful connection is the unification of various archetypal self-states within our soul. We believe soulful connection is the fundamental characteristic of psychological wellbeing and the basis for living a fulfilling and meaningful life.
