Therapy for Adults in Chico, CA
Welcome! Maybe you are thinking of reaching out because of a personal crisis, a rupture or a sense of loss. Or you might be struggling with something more vague, difficult to name or pinpoint, but pervasive and distressing. Reflecting on your life you might recognize patterns that keep repeating, even though they cause you pain. Conscious efforts to change them and even previous therapy, might not have brought the hoped-for transformation.
Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is tailored to the uniqueness of each subject.
how talking helps
Therapy offers a space to speak freely about what troubles you. In this process what bothers you can become clarified, and new and creative ways of going about your life can emerge. It can help you move towards living a life that is more in tune with what you want, a life that offers you more satisfaction and less pain in your relationships with your loved ones.
A thoughtful approach
My approach is grounded in careful listening to what is unique and singular in each person. It is not about providing you with one size fit all answers, but about creating a space that allows new answers to emerge that entail a bit less suffering and that are a bit more satisfying.
Taking the first step
Are you tired of being stuck? Of repeating the same unsatisfying patterns even though you want something different? Curious about creating something new and getting unstuck so you can move forward? Call An at (530) 321-2970. I am here to listen.
