Insight Oriented Therapy

You have devoted your life and career to the service of others and  given it your all.   And now, you feel burned out, exhausted, angry, depressed, alone…

Because you excel at taking care of others you may also be uncomfortable asking for help.  Or, you may have tried to deal with your emotional pain through self-help books, meditation, retreats, but nothing has really helped, long term.  Why? Because there are no quick fixes.

If that sounds familiar it may be time to consider insight oriented  therapy and work on lasting change, for you.

How Insight Oriented Therapy can Help

Insight oriented therapy helps you uncover the roots of your feelings and behaviors. With these insights you will be able to move forward and embrace the life you want to live.  

We are all  impacted by life experiences such as the intensity of a high demand career.  Whether it is the pressure cooker and isolation of executive leadership roles or the relentless demands of work, it takes a huge toll.  

Sometimes the issues have their beginnings in childhood and stem from relationships with our families. 

In the safety of therapy you can:

• Explore your past experiences and relationships

• Identify patterns that might be holding you back 

• Develop compassion for yourself

• Develop your capacity to sustain meaningful relationships

Insight Oriented therapy helps you make sense of it all and equips you to make informed choices about how you spend your emotional energy.  It allows you to reclaim your peace.

What is the process?

Feeling a bit nervous when you start therapy is normal. You will find me to be an empathic collaborative therapist ready to support you on your journey. 

We start the work together by establishing a safe trusting space. During the first few sessions I’ll help you identify the issues you want to address. 

Insight Oriented Therapy is most effective when sessions are scheduled on a weekly basis, however, we will schedule sessions based on what works for you.  

The duration of therapy depends on your presenting concerns and the pace that is comfortable for you.  A typical course of therapy is three to six months while some of my clients find it helpful to continue in more long term therapy. 

Typical Outcomes

You gain insights into what has been causing your distress and a reduction in your symptoms. You will develop strategies on how to approach new challenges that emerge in your life and  the capacity for more meaningful loving relationships with others. 

What to Expect:

• Initial complimentary consultation to answer any questions you may have

• 50 minute virtual sessions that work for your schedule

• Services are provided online to you in the comfort of your home or office, through a secure HIPPA compliant server.

• I am licensed in New Jersey and New York and am authorized to provide services across 42 additional states in the US.

Executive Coaching on Career Transition

Executive coaching provides an opportunity to clarify values and purpose while exploring how your thoughts, emotions, and relationships shape your leadership.

Executives experience career transitions for many reasons:

• Desire for new challenge and opportunity

• Mergers/re-organizations

• Unexpected firings or resignation because of a toxic work environment

• Ageism is increasingly a factor in rapidly changing workplaces

If you are an executive leader experiencing a career transition, I am here to support you to regain your footing and to develop a plan for the future.

How Executive Coaching in Transition can Help

Working with an executive coach on career transition provides an opportunity to systematically reflect on your career to date as well as your hopes for the future. 

I can help alleviate your career fears and partner with you in developing a plan for career success.

As an executive coach I draw from three primary areas of skill and experience:

1. 30 + years providing consultation and therapy as a clinical psychologist

2. 15 + years as Executive Leader, including as a university president

3. Global intercultural perspective having worked on five continents

My approach utilizes a life span development perspective. This model provides a helpful way to both reflect on the past and look to the future as you envision your own career trajectory.   

I will guide you through a systematic analysis of the intersection of several key areas:  values, thinking processes, emotions, behaviors, and relationships using the SOS Model. This will become a treasure assessment tool you can continue to utilize as a self check throughout your leadership journey.    

We will focus on both strengths as well as areas of growth as a leader. You will find me to be both empathetic and practical in supporting you on your career journey.

How it Works

Being a leader and serving in the C-suite is inherently lonely. In the safety and privacy of the coaching relationship you can let down your guard and honestly examine what is working and what isn’t.  

Learning how to continuously monitor your successes and vulnerabilities as a leader is key. Executive coaching through transition supports you in:

• Understanding where you have been 

• Creating a vision for the future 

• Designing a logical implementable plan  forward. 

Outcomes

As a result of Executive Coaching you will know yourself better as a leader and have the tools to do continuous self assessment of your strengths and vulnerabilities.  You will have an executable plan for the future.

Coaching as you Contemplate Retirement

If you have had a high intensity career and feel proud of your accomplishments, the mere thought of retirement can feel scary. Why? Because your identity is intertwined with your career.  It's the fear of becoming irrelevant.
