Welcome Holly Currier - our new intern who will begin seeing clients in August. Check out the link in our bio to learn more about Holly.

Interns are student therapists who have completeld all of their clinical coursework and are working toward completing their client hours prior to licensure. They are closely supervised by Steffi, our owner and clinical supervisor. They have weekly case consultation sessions and some sessions are recorded and reviewed for traiing purposes. Interns allow us to provide clients with a less expensive option and still have the benefit of highly trained therapists.

If you're looking to strengthen your relationship with your partner there is a simple "Formula for Intimacy" that I have adapted from Dr. Cliff and Joyce Penner's work.
EVERY DAY: Spend 15 minutes connecting
EMOTIONALLY - look into ea other's eyes. This increases oxytocin production, which is the trust hormone. Share a positive thought, feeling and/or affirmation with eachother.
SPIRTUALLY - share an inspirational reading/prayer. If you are not religous, find ways of connecting on a soul level - meditation, breating together, something meaningful.
PHSYICALLY - hug for 20 seconds (incr. oxytocin), kiss passionately for 5-30 seconds without it leading to other erotic touch or s*x. Kissing will increase dopamine, the passion hormone.
Once a WEEK: take a walk, go on a date, take a shower together, spend time caressing (with no demands for s*x or increased erotic touch).
Once a QUARTER: have fun, play together, lead and teach enjoyable touch.
One weekend a YEAR: together or at home, no distractions - take time with eachother.

When your child, tween or teen arrives for therapy with Andrew, you will see them pick out a game to play. Andrew likes to joke that he plays Uno for a living. The reality is, there is no more effective way to connect with a kid than to get down on their level and join them in their world. The world of play is the world our kids live in (and should live in).
While Andrew plays, he teaches...but your kids don't really notice or feel "taught" because it's part of the game. Andrew is able to fully integrate skill building and emotional processing into the time he spends "playing games" with your kids.
