Ellen Goldberg M.A. Wise-Woman Therapist
Why Therapy?
Psychotherapy is a practice that dates from prehistory. It is one of
the archetypal, or primal, patterns of human experience. Since the
beginning of humans living together in community, people have sought healing or
counsel from particular members of the tribe. Usually, this was a
Shaman, an Elder, a Wise-Man or Wise-Woman.
Because of the ancient roots of my profession I define my
counseling and therapeutic work by the title “Wise-Woman Therapist.”
This wisdom tradition endeavors to learn from every aspect of life. In
my work I combine modern modes of psychotherapeutic theory and
technique with the wisdom of the ages and traditional methods of
healing.
I offer a deeply human, healing partnership. I have
worked with people from 16 to 86 to alleviate the myriad problems that
come with being human. Emotional pain, recovery from family influences,
depression, illness, loss, regret, emptiness, transitions, yearning for
change, opening to love, forgiveness, self acceptance, activating one’s
spiritual practice, discovery of the True Self, and finding one’s
unique place in this world are a sampling of the issues I commonly deal
with.
For each one of us, there are ways of restoring wholeness and
well-being that are in accord with our particular psyche. I endeavor to
tailor my work for each person. There are always many different
approaches possible. What matters is what works for you. My work is
kind, swift, exciting and enlivening.
Holistic Psychotherapy
I follow a paradigm that views each person through three components of
equal importance, the mind, body and spirit. Like a tapestry, these
three aspects weave together to create the whole person. Each thread
supports as well as is dependent upon the others. If one aspect is
ignored all parts suffer. >>

“Every morning when I wake up, I’m willing to readjust my attitude.” The Dalai Lama
Our attitude in life is the ultimate freedom that we have. It is the one thing we have under our jurisdiction no matter what circumstances we find ourselves in. >> |
Buddhism and Mindfulness
One does not have to be a Buddhist to appreciate and benefit from
Buddhist insights that free the mind from suffering. Of all the
spiritual paths, Buddhism is the most psychological in nature. Most of
the early transpersonal therapists were influenced by the teachings of
the Buddha, and the concept of the “Self.” >> |
