I often think of therapy as similar to mountaineering: We tether to another person as we build trust and explore the natural landscape of our humanness. At times treacherous and scary; at times awe-inspiring and profound. The point is not to curate this expanse, but instead to build familiarity so that we can be more sure-footed as we walk through our lives with increasing skill… Comfort and ease within the chaos and uncertainty that can be everyday life.
I have over a decade of experience working with clients struggling with a broad range of complex and single traumas, substance use, anxiety, depression, and more. My primary training is in the intersection of Buddhist psychology, mindfulness, and body-awareness, though I have training in Motivational Interviewing, CBT, Internal Family Systems, psychoanalytic theory, and process-oriented work.
If you are interested in seeing how I might be able to help, you are welcome to reach out for a free phone consultation to get an idea of whether I might suit your needs. A sense of personal compatibility and connection are foundational elements of the therapeutic relationship, so I encourage clients to also explore my website to get a sense of my approach: www.TheodoreLemann.com
