Welcome and thanks for including me in your search for help. Finding a good fit for therapy is important. Please look around my website and feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

I work with adults who are interested in changing something in their lives. This could be a slight adjustment in your life or a more complex effort to stop suffering. My goal is to help you discover your resilience and to find clarity. You define the change you want in therapy. I guide the process.

I am an active therapist who supports you in working safely towards your goals. I help you gain direct experience of your body and your emotions. I utilize somatic awareness to help solidify, as well as generate, new understandings. A full and nuanced awareness of your experience, I believe, will help you better navigate your life.

A part of this approach is the safe experiencing of previously and/or unconsciously avoided pain. Muscle memory is a necessary component of being alive. If something works, just keep doing it, right? But often what helps us to grow early in life hinders us later in life. I can help you identify blind spots and expand your internal, emotional awareness, thus promoting a fuller acceptance of yourself.

I specialize in experiential dynamic therapy (EDT), specifically utilizing AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) and ISTDP (Intensive Short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy). These approaches are emotion-focused, somatic, and utilize experiential techniques geared to generate deep emotional responses and insights.

Your goals and problems will be addressed actively from the moment we begin our work together. We will act as a team to stay safely focused on your experience during each moment of our sessions. I believe that you want to be healthy and together we will focus on the transformations you desire.   

Feel free to contact me at 404.666.2166 with any questions you have about how I can help you. Leave a message and I will get back to you within 48 hours. You also can email me at robert@blondeaucounseling.com.
