Psychotherapy for individuals, couples and families; clinical consultation and supervision.When looking for a therapist, what's important to take into consideration? My full response to this question comprises eastbaynarrativetherapy.com, which I developed to meet three primary objectives: 1) Provide a public service to people looking for or thinking about consulting a therapist; 2) Provide pragmatic information about Narrative approaches to therapy, the innovative and contemporary approach to therapy I practice that promotes an ethical stance of openness and respect for clients, and a political stance of protesting discourse—psychological and others— that has subjugating effects on persons; 3) Connect my services with people looking for therapy, counseling, clinical supervision and consultation. What are we talking about when we talk about therapy? In the most general terms, therapy constitutes a legal and ethical contract between a person (therapist) whose job it is to apply a particular clinical perspetive (aka approach to therapy) towards influencing the cognitive, affective, behavioral, relational and imaginative landscapes of another person's life (client). Considering these ramifications, thoughtfully choosing a therapist is important.Therapeutic conversations are not limited to interrupting the influence of problems. Narrative-based, collaborative conversations can help people make choices that best fit with their values and interests. They can foster resiliency, support career and personal development, and promote skills and talents by situating them in the domains of thinking and action.
