Owen prides himself on his dedication to each of his clients and ability to help them work through each of their specific problems. Psychoanalytic therapy is an in-depth process, but Owen believes it is the most effective in helping clients gain insights and eliminate obstacles that prevent them from living a more fulfilling life. Owen’s warm nature and interactive approach provides the guidance clients need for this approach

I work with couples by initially gaining an understanding of what made them come in for therapy, helping them articulate goals for each other, and working on achieving those goals.

I also like to help couples talk about their individual histories. I find it helps each partner empathize and understand better what might be at the root of the problem.

In addition, I ask each person to talk about how they met, what brought them together, what made them fall in love and to include a story about a time when they were getting along better so we’re not just focusing on conflict but also on the love that brought them together.

And finally, I look for a way to understand the patterns of their relationship and help free them from destructive patterns by using their love to motivate them.

Are you struggling within your relationship? Are you fighting constantly? Are you having trouble communicating effectively?

Have you ever wished that your therapist could see you in action in your everyday life so that he or she could see you more clearly and, therefore, be more helpful to you? Of course, this is not possible. However, group therapy is the next best thing. Group is particularly helpful when combined with individual psychotherapy.

I will develop a dialogue with you that will eventually lead to a cohesive understanding of the roots of your problems, why it is coming up now, and why it is manifesting itself in the way it is. We will work together to diminish your pain and improve your life.

We will reach a better understanding that takes into account your childhood, your relationships with parents, siblings, teachers, peers, and more. We will also, when possible, look at patterns in the interactions between you and me in the room that can shed light on the problems you are hoping to understand and resolve outside of the room. We will look at dreams as well as your interactions with important people in your current life, to further inform our understanding.

Are you dealing with feelings of depression, anxiety, anger or sadness? Are you having problems with your partner, family, friends or colleagues? What are you are seeking relief from? What are you seeking insight around? Even if it is not straightforward, we will figure it out.

1. Enhanced communication skills.

2. Increased emotional understanding of yourself.

3. Improved mood.

4. Decreased anxiety.

5. Increased ability to see how others perceive you.

6. An opportunity to experience yourself in different relationships with different kinds of people in a safe environment.

7. Enhanced capacity for intimacy.

8. Increased capacity to be in the moment.
