Personal Statement

Personal Statement:
How important is it for us to get to know ourselves and learn about our needs and values? I believe we already have all the resources we need to accomplish whatever we want to accomplish in life. There are times though it is very hard to believe. During these hard times when we are struggling with financial, personal, professional or relationship problems we can choose to seek the help of someone who will listen to us with unconditional positive regard, without judgment and will guide us through our inner journey on the path to becoming ourselves.

Most of the time my clients are not sure about what they are looking for. They feel that they need to learn things about themselves. They feel they want support and clarity about certain things in their lives, but they don’t know how to start.

Together we will develop the right treatment plan for you. Focusing on your needs, we will create a safe and healing environment where you can trust your intuitive process and use it for change and growth. You can develop a healthy foundation and get to know yourself better which will make your life more productive and fulfilling.

Featured Therapist 

Kelly Duggan Shearer, M.A.
Patricia Ravitz, M.A.

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
San Rafael, CA

My therapeutic style is non-judgmental, supportive, and interactive. My work is based on establishing a safe environment where trust can grow. I view symptoms as a way to call attention to unrecognized needs and unexpressed feelings. The goals of treatment include; learning to identify and express emotions, learning to set appropriate boundaries, developing skills such as self-soothing and impluse control and improving self-esteem.
