Therapists have unique needs in the therapy room

In recent years, more and more therapists have come to me for therapy, and I’ve found that I love this work. Therapists tend to be deeply soulful people, searching to make the most of the lives they’ve been given. They are deeply engaged in growth, both in their own inner process and in the healing journeys they support in others. 

The are looking for authenticity, both from themselves and from their therapists. They are looking for someone with a high level of skill in more than one modality. They are looking for attunement and care without agenda and cooersion.

They don't want to just talk about healing. They are ready to heal.

Knowing ≠ Healing

Being well-trained and insightful, we see patterns, nuance, and emotional currents everywhere we look. We don’t just want someone to help us name what’s happening, we want enough safety, attunement, and skill in the room to actually shift our own experience. To move toward more joy, flow, connection, and life force.

Increase Vitality

We may be unusually good at sensing the needs of others, yet find it harder to meet those same needs within ourselves. Many therapists come to this field carrying complex family histories. The same early-in-life learnings that make us unusually attuned to others’ feelings and needs, can make it harder to turn that same care inward. We’re excellent at holding others, but often less practiced at offering that kind of healing presence to ourselves. Understanding attachment or trauma isn’t the same as healing it. And no degree or training can replace the inner work that makes life feel vital and alive.

To be challenged - with care and warmth

What most of us long for isn’t just another place to talk, but a place where we can be invited, even challenged , to face ourselves with honesty and courage.
If you’re a therapist ready for change , ready to use your depth, wisdom, and capacity to reshape your own inner landscape, I’d love to hear from you. What I can offer is presence, understanding, a wide range of therapeutic tools, and my own human self, ready to walk a few steps with you on your journey.
