Roddy's Focus
Individual Counseling
My goal when working with individuals is to help uncover their true potential and lead the life they have always wanted.
First, I listen as they share current their difficulties, the impact they are having on their lives, and what they want to change.
Next, we review parts of their lives to determine what old patterns of thoughts and behaviors are serving as current barriers to change and why certain people or situations trigger intense feelings and strong reactions.
Then together we will review their current strengths and build upon them while using newfound insights to help them develop the tools necessary to transform their life and relationships with others.
I help individuals find relief from anxiety and depression, cope with grief and loss, and overcome addiction of all types including substance addictions as well as love or sex addiction.
Roddy's Other Specialities
Couples Counseling
There are few words that create as many conflicted emotions in people as “relationships”. Sometimes we desire them, sometimes we detest them. We obsess about not having one, followed by a strategy to get out of one. They can be extreme and difficult, flat and lackluster, or like a roller-coaster, with adrenaline-filled ups and downs. Why does this happen?
I am a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist and when looking through the lens of Imago, I help couples discover the answers to three important questions about relationships.
- Why are we romantically attracted to someone?
- What causes the conflict in our relationships?
- How do we turn this conflict into reconnection and personal growth?
I believe that, “We are all born through and into relationships, we are wounded in relationships, and the way we heal is through our relationships.”
