Clinical Member, Ontario Society of Psychotherapists. Payment Methods Private_Pay Languages Spoken English Description Of Practice People consider psychotherapy for many reasons: relief from something that impedes the happiness or success desired in life, or a yearning for expanded consciousness and greater meaning in life. Where there is suffering there is an intersection of the psychological and the spiritual, and it is here that I offer my assistance. From this perspective people are not wounded and in need of healing or "fixing" so much as support in strengthening their sense of self & increasing their awareness. Fear and anxiety constrict our ability to live an expansive life; grief and unfulfilled longing limit our capacity for intimacy and thwart our impulse toward self-realization. In the psychotherapy relationship, previously intolerable fears and self-criticism give way. Therapy facilitates the: * Emergence of your own innate wisdom and unacknowledged strengths; * Relief from old worn out patterns; * Development of resilience and courage in relation to your life's challenges; * Freedom to fully inhabit the life to which you are entitled by birth. The fulfillment of a relationship with your self that is peaceful and content, is less about doing and more about being. Paradoxically, being with one's self is greatly enhanced through relationship with others. Intentional engagement with a compassionate and experienced psychotherapist encourages the flourishing of the "next greatest version of the grandest vision" you have of yourself. You can expect me to attune to your needs, encourage your exploration, and be willing to follow where you need to go; you can expect an empathic response to even those things for which you yourself can find no empathy; you can expect to grow your healthy self-esteem and access a greater sense of your whole Self. You can count on my respect for our points of difference, and know that in my work with individuals and couples I am LGBT friendly. Allowing the light to shine on that which has been buried or intolerable, also liberates your shining essence. Additional Information In addition to my private practice as a psychotherapist, I offer services to senior business executives as a leadership coach. It is my belief that at the core of all businesses are people in relationship: to their clients, colleagues, services and themselves. As a leadership coach I work as an ally with individuals who are committed to enhancing these relationships as a path to achieving their personal and corporate goals. Some of the presenting issues leaders bring to coaching include interpersonal communication, conflict resolution, ethical dilemmas, team building, and performance excellence. I invite you to learn more about these services at www.patarchercoaching.com. And please feel free to contact me with any questions about tailoring my psychotherapy and/or coaching services for your particular needs.
