Daniel Lehrman, Psychotherapy

Welcome

Welcome to my website. In my psychotherapy practice, I work with individuals, couples, and adolescents. Together we build a relationship of trust whose sole purpose is your well-being and growth.

My background gives me expertise in both the clinical science and the spiritual sides of psychotherapy. When I say "spiritual," I mean it in the way that I have never met a person without a spiritual life. I see spirituality as the part of a person that asks:
        What am I doing with my life?
        Am I living it, or is it living me?
        How could I make it richer, fuller, more meaningful and
            satisfying?

Working with clients, I find that questions such as these are often the root systems of whatever surface problems are brought for therapy. Therefore, problems brought for help and symptoms brought for cure--anxiety, relationship issues, depression, and many others--can be gateways to deeper exploration of many parts of ourselves. This process evolves uniquely for each person.

On this website I discuss some common questions about psychotherapy, such as the kinds of difficulties for which people seek help; the benefits of therapy; the use of medications; how long therapy lasts; the costs involved; and whether psychotherapy is just for crazy people. I also share some information and reflections about my style of working with clients.

I'd be happy to speak with you about the possibility of beginning psychotherapy. Feel free to call or email me.
