I work in traditional forms of psychotherapy, utilizing a cognitive-behavioral orientation. In addition, I am a personal life coach, an EMDR therapist & a clinical  hypnotherapist.  I work in practical, behavior-based directions to facilitate rapid goal-achievement. My style is positive, supportive and encouraging. Are you unhappy with how your life has been going?        but don't know what to do about it? Are you looking to create specific changes? Would you like to be more healthy on some level -- emotional,        spiritual, mental, physical? Are you having problems creating balance? Are you dissatisfied with your relationship(s)? Is there way toooooo much stress in your life? I work WITH YOU to define the goal(s) for therapy.  Next, together, we create a practical plan to get you there.  Then, with attention and encouragement, I monitor your progress as you undertake -- step-by-step -- to put your plan into action.  Any fine-tuning that is needed we make, as you begin to see your plan working in your life!   Areas in which I have expertise include:   Personal Growth:  eliminating negative thinking; self-esteem; removing      blocks from the past; spiritual focus; meditation; self-hypnosis.   Relationships:  sex therapist concerns; sexual dysfunction; marriage or     partner issues; family interactions.   Health Issues:  impact of chronic illness; pain management; issues of     acute illness; stress management; PTSD (post traumatic stress     disorder); spiritual dis-ease; fatigue or low energy (non-physical in     origin).   Life Functioning:  anxiety; fear; panic; depression.   Habit change:  compulsive behavior; addiction and addictive     behavior; smoking cessation; weight management.   I want YOU to be a SUCCESS!  I eagerly use expertise, training and experience to that end.  We can use  a variety of modalities -- secure email, secure chat, or telephone.   It's your choice!   Are you ready to get started?  I invite you to do so now.  The procedure is simple and clearly outlined above (in the top margin-header).  I look forward to working together with you to create success!   Warm regards, Marlene Shiple, Ph.D.    4eTherapy.com is one of a Family of Mental Health Sites
