A Chat with Eddie Reece, MS, LPC
"What Is Psychotherapy?"
It's a way to enrich your life. Psychotherapy can increase emotional, mental and physical health. It can improve any relationship, enhancing the quality of day to day living. Therapy restores hope and gives direction as you create a successful life.
The truest measure of the quality of your life is the quality of your relationships. Emotional health is vital to a satisfying relationship. Psychotherapy can improve emotional health, thus improving relationships and the value of your life. You spend time and money taking care of your body and mind, why not spend some time and money taking care of your emotional self too?
Psychotherapy addresses personal and emotional challenges. The counselor, or therapist, provides a setting of safety, confidentiality and acceptance, allowing you to fully explore issues. Together, you and your therapist will create new ways to effectively address those issues and “grow through them.” Psychotherapists are a different kind of personal trainer.
Did you take a class in school on how to get along with people, have a happy marriage, raise your children, handle financial matters, and feel at peace with yourself? No? That's why psychotherapy exists. If everyone were taught these important life lessons, there would be little need for psychotherapy. Psychotherapy is educational. It's life and relationship school.
"Can Psychotherapy Help Me?"
Yes it can. Maybe you've heard of psychotherapy and because of stigma or a belief it was for people with "real problems" you hesitated to contact a therapist. Psychotherapy teaches truly effective ways to deal with common, everyday irritations as well as more entrenched patterns of living.
Do you want any of the following?
A more peaceful, less hurried life, with a healthy balance among life's responsibilities.
To feel closer to family members, achieving more intimacy in your loving relationships.
To communicate more effectively with loved ones and ones not so loved.
Improvement in parent-child communication, solutions to problems with teenagers, blended families, alternative family styles, single parenting and adoption.
Relief of children's emotional and behavioral problems.
Freedom from addictions.
Better self understanding.
An improved financial life, more money and freedom from financial worries.
Feel better about yourself, increase confidence, have more fun, find more meaning in your life, tolerate the hassles of traffic.
Improve your performance in sporting activities, be a better golfer, tennis player, or skier.
Psychotherapy can help you with the changes you haven't accomplished on your own. If you want to...well, almost anything, you guessed it. Psychotherapy can help.
"Why Psychotherapy?"

Couple, partner, marriage or relationship difficulties

"Who Are Typical Clients?"
Typical clients come to improve their lives in many different areas. Almost all our clients are intelligent, materially successful, kind, loving people who want more out of life. They may have relationship problems, addictions, mid-life issues, want to be better athletes, are experiencing end of life issues, learning to cope better with any of life's difficulties such as illness, finding meaning in life, transitions and decision making. People in all phases of their relationships from pre-commitment to divorce and beyond consult a therapist.
As you can see, psychotherapy is helpful for just about anything life presents. If we don't work with your particular concern, we'll help you find someone who does. So, whatever you're facing, contact one of us and let us know how we can help. We may not become your therapist, but you'll be taking a big first step to living the life you want to live.
