7 Signs That a Therapist Is Not the Right Fit for You
As a clinical psychologist and a practicing therapist, I have to tell you that I love what I do for a living. Not only was it a lifelong dream of mine to work in private practice, it feels like an absolute honor to bear witness to another person’s growth. It’s a privilege, for sure — and I know that a lot of my colleagues feel the same way. What I…
What I Learned About Life on a Locked, Inpatient Unit of a Psychiatric Hospital
The summer after my freshman year in college, I landed my first job in mental health care. It was at a psychiatric hospital in western Connecticut, and, at the risk of sounding strange, I was really excited about it.

Unfortunately, however, many people across the globe…
Transforming Impasses: What’s really happening when your clients get stuck
One of the primary benefits of being a coach, from my vantage point, is having a particular area of expertise – an issue or a challenge that you become really adept at working with. Tools are amassed, strategies develop, and any good coach ultimately cultivates a set of skills that’s effective for helping his or her clients to achieve certain types of goals. Unfortunately, however, we all know that some…
A Resolution Revolution
We all know the drill. As one year draws to a close, a new one begins, and with it comes the promise of Radical Transformation. New year? New you! So we scheme and we strive. We make lists. We concoct new patterns of behaviors that will upend everything we ever thought we knew about ourselves. We’ll engage in new hobbies (or so we tell ourselves). Read Proust. Start the gym…
