Dr. Arnold Kozak

We all have the ability to be happy, although sometimes we get caught up in worry, regret and other thoughts that keep us from living in the present and enjoying life to the fullest. Mindfulness is the art and skill of living in the present. It helps us to control the flow of thinking and to keep us from getting caught up in destructive patterns of thought and the painful emotions that follow. In our work together, I will show you how to use mindfulness to address your current problems and to make your life more happy, peaceful, and meaningful.

I have mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), existential, and psychodynamic training. I am the author of Wild Chickens and Petty Tyrants: 108 Metaphors for Mindfulness. Our work together will be practical, with a focus on learning skills and finding solutions to problems. Mindfulness meditation can be part of your therapy.

I've been practicing meditation and yoga nearly 30 years. In addition to working with stress, anxiety, and depression, I specialize in therapy with Buddhists, psychotherapists, physicians, writers, artists, and others who are interested in meditation. I host a free community meditation center at the Exquisite Mind Studio.
