APPROACH   

As a mind and body psychotherapist, Ms. Love combines Cognitive-Behavioral “talk” therapy with Somatic Experiencing “body-orientated” therapy.  Ms. Love incorporates S.E. into her approach because she finds that some of her clients’ symptoms can not be fully addressed with “talk” therapy alone.  With her comprehensive mind-body approach, her clients report a renewed sense of self and increased hope about the future and the possibilities that lie ahead.

Adolescent issues

 

DISORDERED EATING SPECIALIST   

Do you struggle with a disordered eating?

Do you continue to experience symptoms despite years of therapy?

Are you seeking a supportive, understanding and safe environment?

Ms. Love has spent several years working with clients who struggle with disordered eating. She has found that a comprehensive mind and body approach gives clients the greatest hope of a full recovery. Typical disordered eating treatment is addressed from a cognitive approach.  Ms. Love’s approach deals with the cognitive issues, but also the physiological issues.  Typical physiological issues include an inability for the nervous system to self regulate and therefore make it extremely difficult for the client who struggles with disordered eating to manage their anxiety and depression.  Ms. Love’s mind and body approach, combined with her personal insights about what it took to recover after a 20 year battle with anorexia and bulimia, make her an ideal therapist for anyone struggling with disordered eating. 

In addition, Ms. Love, a former long distance runner who competed at both the National and Olympic level, has a special interest in working with athletes, especially those struggling with eating disorders (dancers, gymnasts and long-distance runners). 

 

ANXIETY REDUCTION SPECIALIST

Do you experience high levels of anxiety?

Does your head seem "noisy" and full of chatter?

Calm the mind, unbind the body, and get back you.

Ms. Love's integrative mind and body approach will give you a deep sense of calm and quiet.  Not only will the chatter quiet down, but your nerves will settle and you will experience a renewed sense of self.

 

ADOLESCENT SPECIALIST

Is your adolescent out of control?  Have their grades slipped?  Has their attitude become intolerable? Ms. Love has worked with adolescents for the past 10+ years.  She has a talent for communicating and connecting with adolescents and inspiring them to make positive changes.  She also has extensive experience with adolescent substance abuse.

 

TRAUMA SPECIALIST 

Do you continue to experience symptoms despite years of therapy?

Do your symptoms continue despite telling your story over and over?  

If you answered "yes" to either of these questions, you are not alone.  “Traumatic symptoms are not caused by the event itself.  They arise when residual energy from the experience is not discharged from the body.  This energy remains trapped in the nervous system where it can wreak havoc on our bodies and minds" (Dr. Peter Levine)

 

Ms. Love's services are targeted at unwinding the binding emotional and physical symptoms that have kept you from getting back to the real you.  Unlike typical talk psychotherapy, this is accomplished with an integrative mind and body approach.
