Paul Sullivan

I’m a licensed psychotherapist who loves helping individuals, couples and families thrive! Finding my own profound transformation through psychotherapy. I offer clients transformation through my own unique combination of approaches and a fundamentally supportive relationship you can rely on to help you realize and live your potential. PEOPLE I HELP Individuals, couples or families I counsel are motivated to reach their potential, build a healthy and meaningful life and make a positive impact. I help people who have had some success in personal or professional life build the skills needed to manage and reduce anxiety, stress, ambivalence, fear, conflict or difficult relationships. Couples I work with create thriving relationships by mastering the communication and trust needed for deeper connection, shared reality and intimacy. Families find healing, resolution and harmony from long-standing conflict, disconnection and/or a members with a mental/physical health problem through deep listening and empathy. Parents with children struggling develop connection based parenting skills that bring back the sweet connection and joy with their children MY APPROACH Through compassionate and honest conversation, individuals couples and families will develop the ability to recognize, align and commit to caring for your needs and living your core values and dreams. Using humanistic, psychodynamic and family systems approaches, as well as mindfulness, Nonviolent Communication skills and optimism I will help you build the skills and habits necessary to meet this commitment I work to listen deeply and build trust with unconditional acceptance, compassion and a sense of humor. WORKING WITH ME The primary focus of my style of therapy is to provide and build a strong relationship, also known as the therapeutic alliance. My style is also interactive and while I will provide a stable relationship and deep empathic listening that you can trust, I will offer my perspectives on what I think is the best course of action for your potential of growth and healing. Regardless of the choices you make and how you make use of our work together I will offer my unconditional support and positive regard. Because there is no part of life that doesn't impact our well-being, in any given session we will discuss topics of interest, current events, work, rest and relaxation, money, relationships with others and yourself as well as diving deeply into the difficulties brought you therapy. We will identify and build the skills needed do navigate successfully through those difficulties. We will also laugh as I also use humor to help us relax, connect, and sometimes explore difficult topics. When you're ready and available I will challenge you to grow and provide support needed for that growth.
