In the world we live in today, there is little time for reflection, for nurturing relationships, mentoring our children, or caring for our elderly parents. Taking care of our own bodies and minds is not a priority. Therapy can be a refuge from the confusion we experience in our daily lives, a time to clarify what’s important and what’s not important as well as a safe place where to begin making changes.

Moving the Self Psychotherapy Center offers psychotherapeutic services based on the interrelation of body, mind and emotion. Movement is used as a catalyst in the process of integrating our emotional, physical, cognitive and spiritual selves. This process of discovery through movement engages the total person, providing a vehicle for self expression, understanding, healing, and growth for people with diverse needs.

Psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy is carried on through the process of examining feelings and emotions and linking them to words, connecting personal history with current life events and relationships. Sometimes words are not enough to get to the source of the discomfort. Words are necessary to delve into personal life stories, yet at times, movement, sensory body-oriented processing, as well as expressive arts can be used in order to aid in the discovery of personal blocks, resistances, hidden beliefs and inner conflicts interfering with life being lived at its full potential.
