Relationship Issues Therapists in Greenfield, MA

I feel honored to work with individuals who are motivated to explore issues, establish goals for change, and take restorative steps toward stress reduction and inner peace. I am a licensed Gestalt psychotherapist who focuses on reintegrating our broken parts, and an ordained Buddhist priest/Zen Teacher (Sensei). I believe returning to one's original self is key to entering life's many challenges. It is a humbling honor to enter this exploration and journey with clients that enter my practice.

As Pema Chodron writes: "things are always in transition, if we could only realize it." Life's fluctuations are not easy, but I believe acceptance and self-kindness are essential to growth. Our ebbs and flows make things like our self-esteem hard to stabilize, but therapy can give us a truer evaluation of our worth.

Coming back from the pandemic has been both wonderful and immobilizing at times. There's things to do, but the motivation just isn't there. Relationships have changed at work & home. Let's face it, the summers' apocalyptic weather created an atmosphere of hopelessness & downright fear. Meg views your spirituality as a valid, timeless, and powerful resource to address your psychological and behavioral issues. Blending ancient wisdom, healing energy and a pragmatic down to earth treatment plan we can set up the conditions that will make you successful. We can start with the basics of self -care and build from there.

In the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy didn't know she had the way back to Kansas with her all along, but she knew she had to start somewhere. The decision to begin therapy can feel like that, sometimes requiring a lot of courage. And like Dorothy in her quest to get back home, being in therapy opens up the opportunity to find something important and precious. It can help you reclaim what's been lost, or it can guide you to something new and different. It supports you in becoming free of persistent patterns and obstacles, awakening potentials you sense are there but don't know how to tap into.

We all deserve to live a life that brings us happiness and joy. There are bumps in the road and sometimes we need help navigating the terrain. I have dedicated my life to supporting people and their journeys. Our lives are made up of “right nows”, we cannot change our past, nor predict our future, what we can do is stay in the moment and embrace what comes next.

Therapy produces its own unique ecosystem. In the right collaboration, essential growth-oriented risks can be taken, which often results in sustainable transformation. Various tools we develop to emotionally survive our experiences in formative years can become automatic interpersonal response systems we operate from long after they serve us. This can impact the relationship we have with self and others. I strive to bring the utmost compassion and insight into the room while we work together to figure out how one's way of being in the world can become more aligned with concerns of the present circumstance.

Hi! I am passionate about working from a strengths based perspective with adults who are inspired to create a life filled with meaning, clarity, confidence, groundedness and joy. Wild Core Coaching LLC emerged from the belief that human beings naturally have an inherent drive towards their most authentic, deeply true self. My role is to guide the collaborative process of navigating the layers that cloak one's core. By engaging in the process of unraveling old stories, challenging our limiting beliefs and unlocking our ability to thrive, we are able to create an identity that rings true, regardless of the world around us.

In sessions, I work to create a space for clients that allows for exploration and discovery of themselves and their internal/external worlds. By approaching the journey of healing and transformation through deep listening and curiosity, I help bring about clarity without shame or judgment where there are blocks or stuckness. I work with adults, college students and children. When working with children, I lean into play and art/expressive therapies that help the child access their emotional worlds.

There is no such thing as "bad art" or "bad artists" in art therapy. You are also not too old or too (fill in the blank) to give it a try. Art therapy is highly adaptable and accesses both sides of your brain. The act of creating and altering images, in your own unique way can help to externalize, reorganize and regulate your emotional narrative in a way that words alone may not. I primarily specialize in working with teens and older adults who have emotional dysregulation, disability (cognitive and/or physical), are neurodiverse (ADHD/ASD/HSP), LGBTQIA2S+, PTSD, CPTSD. BUT you do not need a diagnosis to utilize art therapy.

Most of my clients are functioning day to day but know that with some focused work they can be doing even better. They are usually seeking EMDR or couple's counseling. Some of the couples I work with identify with LGBTQ, and they need a safe place to get some work done so they can thrive. Physicians or mental health professionals may request short term or adjunct EMDR support with a traumatic event for their patients/clients who are overall stable.

Reaching out for support is a powerful first step. It is so important to take time for yourself, to do things that soothe and empower you. I am here to listen, to learn about your goals, and to support you to access the tools to achieve them. I offer a safe and compassionate space to explore and grow.

Through insight and awareness into thoughts, emotions, and relationships patterns; You will begin to experience profound growth.

I believe it takes strength and courage to seek therapy. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space in which you can explore attitudes and beliefs/patterns which get in the way of accomplishing your full potential and fully engaging in life. I utilize techniques from positive psychology, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral and dialectal behavioral therapy to connect my clients with their "true, inner selves," something which we most often lose touch with as we go about our lives in this often unpredictable and stressful world. I also believe in the power of humor and laughter as tools in the healing process.

Therapy can provide a quiet, collaborative space where you will gain insight, clarify your unique goals and values, and discover new ways to cope that foster healing yourself and your relationships.

I have been working as a psychotherapist, counselor, clinical supervisor and consultant for over twenty years. My approach has become eclectic and energized by my interest in family systems, substance use, emotional well being, and the possibilities offered by an in depth approach to psychotherapy. My training as an Archetypal Pattern Analyst and in orientational approaches to dream work have consistently informed my work and my enjoyment of the psychotherapeutic and consulting process. The more I learn the more respect, empathy, joy and humor I have for the act of collaboration needed to find a fuller way of being in our lives.
