For over 25 years I have worked with adults in individual therapy and have also run divorce support groups for men and women. As a Focusing oriented therapist I see how this mindful practice deepens the therapy process in gentle and respectful ways. Focusing teaches self compassion and patience as people work on difficult issues; they learn to attend to their body sense of a life situation which can open pathways for growth and change. I enjoy teaching Focusing to small groups and to individuals for personal enrichment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a8a0557e5dd5b4b8683ba02/1521658024598-SJ7QPKGKTIA8R7J6466H/2015-05-29-10-08-34-copy.jpg Practitioners - Cathy Cornell, LICSW, CFT Certified Focusing Trainer Wellesley, MA 781-239-3368 www.psychotherapycollaborative.com Services: I believe psychotherapy is a creative conversation that moves you in the direction of health, happiness and greater meaning in life.

In my practice with individuals, I offer Guided Focusing sessions and Somatic Experiencing therapy. With Focusing I help you access and communicate with the knowing in your body which can lead to clarity, forward movement, and a sense of inner authority. Somatic Experiencing supports you in developing your strengths as well resolving physically-bound trauma from the body. It can feel like you are gently unwinding and awakening. I have been teaching Focusing workshops and classes in the Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts for over 10 years and am now offering them online as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a8a0557e5dd5b4b8683ba02/1521658027335-RAPW0M5D8OL7DD4F8VM3/joe-c.jpg Practitioners - Joseph F.
