Clients describe the experience of psychotherapy as awakening and pivotal. Through an exploration of past and present, I work with individuals and couples to find relief, freedom and new possibility. Challenges such as life transitions, relationship struggles, body image concerns, and emotional imbalance can be difficult to resolve without professional guidance. I also have specialized knowledge of the unique challenges faced by musicians and performers. If you are struggling with reaching your fullest potential, or feeling unsatisfied with work or relationships, psychotherapy can help to bring your worries to light. This can generate a new-found sense of purpose, strength and overall wellness.
My approach is engaged, transparent and empathic. My practice is informed by extensive training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, and guided by your life experiences and the client-therapist relationship. Safely exploring this relationship can lead to powerful insights into underlying beliefs about yourself and others, and patterns "rooted" in lived experiences.
Similar to a creative endeavor, therapy is an active learning experience that can help individuals and couples make significant, lasting changes. Contact me for a free phone consultation. Visit: www.christinapapanestor.com to learn more.
