For thirty-two years I have been a psychotherapist in Central New York. I have had the pleasure of being chosen to work with many individuals, couples, and families regarding a variety of different problems and issues. These experiences have taught me a great deal about our collective human struggles, what creates and often maintains them, and the kind of therapeutic experiences that can transform our emotional and psychological pain into new found hope, optimism, and creativity. Psychotherapy is neither magical nor very easy. However, with a willingness and determination to face yourself, meaningful change is very possible. It can be overwhelming to figure out which therapist would be a good “fit” for you. The truth is different therapists will view your concerns, and the solutions for them, in different ways. One factor that contributes to a successful therapy experience is a shared belief system between you and the therapist regarding the focus and process of psychotherapy. I developed my website, www.docpic.com, to provide you with information that I hope helps you determine if we would be a good fit. On my website you will find information regarding key factors of successful therapy, my philosophy about therapy, the importance of the therapeutic relationship, as well as what your experience might be like in therapy with me.
