About Us

We are experienced therapists with full and successful practices. We know both the satisfactions and the frustrations that come in this stage of one’s career. We have recognized in ourselves the desire for more, desire to go beyond previously held beliefs about success and what it means to be a good therapist. This desire has more to do with time for ourselves and involvement in activities that renew and refresh our enthusiasm. We also look for connection with other therapist to share similar experiences and desires.

As we search for resources via the Internet and book offerings, we find nothing addressing this stage of career development. Conversation with colleagues at similar points in their careers reveal a strong interest in connecting with therapists like us to make significant change in their professional and personal experience.

It has become clear to us that we, like many other therapists, don’t always practice what we preach when it comes to taking care of ourselves. So, we have decided to do something about this. We have created Essential Change for Therapists.

If our experience speaks to you, we hope you will join us in one of our seminars. We believe we have a sense of mission, and a powerful process that allows you to recognize what you want at this stage in your life and career.
