Witter, Rebecca M.F.T.
A river of knowing runs through the core of every individual. I believe people make their best choices, and offer their best selves to the world, when they are able to hear its murmur.
I bring an assortment of conventional and newer-age therapy perspectives to the task of helping people reconnect with their flow. Barring a crisis situation, I rely on my object-relations “listening-posture” to sketch out a hypothetical outline of the client’s relationship to his/her circumstance(s). Should the client decide to work with me following this initial assessment, I invite them to take the MBTI, which then allows me to introduce them to Jung’s concept of psychological type. I find that doing so often helps to “depathologize” a client’s understanding of his/her predicament, and, as a bonus, serves to highlight the collaborative nature of our journey together.
Once connection has been established, my curiosity about the client and his/her concern becomes a guide-rope for the client’s curiosity about his/herself. In the course of our work, I utilize any number of a wide variety of interests, tools, and postures to develop both focus and reach. I am big on the psycho-educational function of therapy, as well as on therapy’s more existential, experiential, solution-focused, and/or brain-based interventions. I am a student of both Gendlin’s "Focusing" model and the "Emotional Freedom Technique" (‘tapping’) – each of which bolsters the mind/body’s capacity to right itself. Not all clients choose to fire up these innate 'gyroscopic' systems, but those who do often find that efforts to recover their inner knowing get turbo-charged.
While I consider myself a generalist, I have a particular interest in working with those who feel (or are) marginalized for being “different”, and/or those who want to better understand them.
Please feel free to call with questions.
Thank you for your interest.
