      <image:caption>The way we organize our experience in life shapes who we are and how we understand the world. Most of the time we are not aware of our assumptions and expectations. Psychodynamic therapy helps people become aware of those assumptions and expectations and even reshapes how we understand life experiences.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Stuart - What is Psychodynamic Psychotherapy?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Psychodynamic therapy was developed as a simpler, less-lengthy alternative to psychoanalysis. Psychodynamic therapy aims to address the foundational ways people organize and interpret their past and present. A form of therapy oriented to illuminate the formation of psychological processes. In this way, facilitates symptom reduction and supports the flourishing of human life.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Stuart</image:title>
      <image:caption>In psychodynamic therapy, therapists help people gain insight into their lives and present-day problems by paying close attention to emotions, thoughts, beliefs and early-life experiences. The therapeutic relationship is central to psychodynamic therapy. It can demonstrate how a person interacts with their friends and loved ones. It can reveal recurring patterns used to avoid distress or developed defense mechanisms to cope. Defense mechanisms may keep painful feelings, memories and experience in the unconscious. In addition, transference in therapy can show how early-life relationships affect a person today. Transference is the transferring one’s feelings for a parent, for example, onto the therapist. This intimate look at interpersonal relationships can help people understand their part in relationship patterns. It may empower them to transform that dynamic. It can facilitate healing, growth and flourishing.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Fees &amp; Insurance - A Word About Insurance</image:title>
      <image:caption>At SLP Counseling, I have decided to provide my clients with receipts suitable for submitting to your insurance company.  I do not attempt to bill or collect for insurance. Insurance companies vary widely in their policies and reimbursement for mental health treatment. Although I am "out of network" for insurance companies, I have found that most respond cooperatively when you submit your own receipt.  There are many reasons for managing insurance in this manner: • First and foremost is my concern that you as a client have a full say in how your treatment proceeds. Many insurance companies attempt to determine the number of sessions, length of treatment and type of care. I prefer to work together with you so that your treatment is oriented in the way that best fits your needs and concerns. • You will find that managing insurance in this manner saves money and helps me keep my fees affordable.  • Compare my charges with any other mental health professional of the same qualifications and you will find significant savings.</image:caption>
