Therapists Beginning With L in Vermont

Have you awakened and are struggling to navigate the 3D world? Do you identify as having an awakened consciousness, an empath, spiritual, a WooWoo or on the Red Road? Are you feeling isolated and disconnected because your vibration has increased and created more challenges in relationships? While on this life's journey, have you realized that you experienced trauma in childhood and don't know how to take the next step to heal these wounds? These experiences could be causing anxiety and depression, deflating your self worth and disrupting your focus and sleep.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor as well as a Licensed Alcohol & Drug Counselor, experienced working with adolescents, adults, and families with issues around substance abuse, depression, anxiety, self harm, suicidal ideation, grief and loss, and end of life issues. My role is to help you in uncovering answers and to support you in your healing and development. I have great respect for your autonomy and your ability to be empowered to determine your own path, solutions, and direction in life.

My waitlist is Closed at this time> I offer counseling to individual adults. Counseling happens best when there is mutual trust between the client and counselor. I offer a safe and supportive environment so my clients can explore their thoughts and emotions. I strive to help clients help themselves by providing tools to affect change in their lives and to understand the meaning behind feelings and behaviors. Counseling involves the sharing of personal problems, concern, and stories. As a professional, I am committed to helping my clients find resolution or solutions for their particular situations.

At some point in our lives, most of us can use an experienced, confidential, objective, and non-judgemental professional to help support us through a challenging time.

Collaborative counseling and consulting can help. Together we create a professional and purposeful space for reflection and decision making. I can help you navigate lasting change, overcome barriers, accelerate development, achieve balance and meet-or exceed-your goals. Strengths-based collaborative counseling for individuals and families helps to clarify and resolve conflicts and advance personal and professional growth. We work together to develop sustainable solutions, healthy relationships and mutual understanding.

Everyone experiences situations in life that are challenging. We often develop ways to manage these situations that are adaptive at first, and can become harmful, in a variety of ways, later on. I believe, and work to help clients acknowledge, that all our behaviors were helpful at one point. By accepting this, we can move towards healthier coping with acceptance and compassion, for ourselves and others. I have experience working with a variety of trauma, anxiety and OCD. I have further training in managing these experiences.

Life difficulties come in many forms, and our nervous systems can go into overdrive as we attempt to adapt. This can cause long-standing patterns in the mind and body. We may feel out of touch with who we are, or like we are repeating patterns of fight, flight, or freeze. If you are looking for less analysis and words, and are interested in working directly with your body through your felt experience, this may be a good fit for you. Using curiosity and building capacity, we'll find places where you are stuck, and create long-term pathways to feeling more embodied and free.

Sometimes life is complicated, stressful, and can feel overwhelming, especially in today's world. When interpersonal relationships, family dynamics, or mental health challenges present themselves it is comforting to know that you don't have to sit with all of that by yourself. Connecting with someone and working on life's difficulties, whether it be old wounds or new, can be liberating and empowering. Together we can explore your thoughts, feelings, and emotions; together we can work on the difficult and rewarding work of being the best version of yourself you can be.

I offer therapy to clients who have struggled with anxiety, depression and physical symptoms that get worse with emotional stress. I also am a board-certified, clinical neuropsychologist who provides neuropsychological evaluations. I do NOT provide evaluations for ADHD. More information about me and my practice is at my website, www.johnlangfittphd.com

Asking for help can be difficult, but the relief it brings is worth it. I offer my clients 27 years of experience, knowledge, and skills. Along with my expertise, I bring attention, understanding, non-judgment, and compassion to the therapeutic relationship. My work is grounded in the Science of Attachment and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). We are biologically wired for connection; it's an innate need. We thrive and feel content when this need is met; conversely, we suffer when it isn't. For me, the joy of this work is seeing the partners shift from feelings of anger, aloneness, or disappointment to tenderness and reconnection.

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”, Lao Tzu. You have taken your first courageous step toward creating a more enriching life. No one embarks on this journey of healing alone, as we all need and benefit from guidance. I embrace a holistic, integrative, person-centered and strengths-based approach to wellness, steeped in empathy and compassion. Like all healthy relationships, the client and therapist alliance must be built on a foundation of trust, from which we can explore whatever concerns you; be it anxiety, depression or life transitions that may be interfering with you living to your fullest potential.

I am passionate about people and the stories that make up our lives. I often lead with the question: "What is your story?" And follow with, "What do you want your story to become?" I have spent much of my life examining the roles and symbols embedded in our everyday life, using creativity, interpersonal techniques, to inform powerful personal change. I have over 20 years experience working in therapeutic settings, cultivating space to honor the healing process and narratives in all of us. My compass is driven by compassion, curiosity, creativity and always some laughter. I will hold the shadows but also make room for the light.

I see the human person as made up of body, mind, and spirit, and each dimension affects the other, especially during times of crisis, stress, transition, and disharmony. Currently I am seeing clients who have been working at therapy for a while and have made significant progress in feeling focused and grounded in their life, but also feel there is something still missing, and are able to name spirituality as the area that needs attention.

The brain has an immense capacity to change and grow over a lifetime. Clinical research demonstrates even a few months of mindfulness practice can be effective in treating chronic stress, depression, anxiety, addictions, pain, illness, and can boost performance under pressure, enhance relationships, and improve enjoyment of work. I use my professional counseling training, teaching experience, and knowledge of neuroscience to develop with you a set of practical skills you can use daily. I will help you use your strengths to harness the power of your mind and develop skills to uncover more peace, joy, and freedom in your life!

I've been in the field since 1997 and my work has been influenced by Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Family Systems Thinking. I draw upon all of these psychological styles to develop an eclectic mix that is different for every client, depending on his or her needs and interests. As a licensed therapist I offer counseling and consultation services to individuals, couples and families using these various techniques. My treatment approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients resolve current problems and long-standing patterns.

Art therapy is an experiential process of creating and learning about oneself. I support individuals who struggle with a variety of challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, and PTSD etc. I specialize in helping people explore their thoughts and feelings through art and art processing. My approach is humanistic, integrative, and person focused.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with twenty two years experience working with families and individuals of all ages. A recent client had this to say about our time together, "your healing energy and...comfort that you bring to your practice is so warming, safe and empowering. You have undoubtedly contributed to making me "me" during a time of transformation [and I} will always have your many perspectives tucked away in my brain for when things get tough"

Psychotherapy is a lifelong arduous learning and self exploration process that will improve the quality of life. I approach therapy with genuineness, unconditional positive regard, accurate empathy, and respect. I will competently employ techniques in which I have received training to assist you in reaching your goals. Technics I may use are EMDR, hypnosis, confrontation, desensitization, homework, humor, imagery, 'I' statements, modeling, psychodrama, journal writing and role-playing. If through the course of psychotherapy an acceptable degree of progress is not reached, I will refer you to another licensed professional.

I operate under the belief that mental health and wellness exists at the junction of the biological, social and psychological facets of an individual, and that a balance is needed to address the human condition. With this in mind even the most difficult of concerns to address can be a profound force for positive change in someone's life.
