Personal Statement:  STOP RUNNING. START LIVING.

Have you been living from crisis to crisis? Do you think you need to be, do, or have more to be satisfied? Are you missing something in life but don’t know where to find it? Are you depressed? Anxious? Overwhelmed? Judith Weiler, MSW, LCSW founder of Heart Centered Psychotherapy™ believes that you have it in you to live a contented, peaceful life. She also believes that you have the wisdom within you to heal and to return to wholeness. It is her job to help you find your way through the maze to your true self.

You may be reading this because you are suffering, but also because you have the courage to risk taking the next step towards freedom.

TRANSCEND SPIRITUAL BANKRUPTCY.

If you are searching for a more fulfilling inner life, you will benefit from Ms. Weiler’s breadth of psychotherapy training and experience. Her mastery of ancient and modern techniques will help you achieve inner peace. Clients experience less need for power and control, and their lives are driven by hope in place of fear. These men and women live day to day in health—making wise, self-loving choices.

THRIVE AFTER TRAUMA.

It may sound impossible, but it has happened with the tools offered by Heart Centered Psychotherapy™. As adjuncts to body-oriented, client-centered, creative and expressive psychotherapy, both Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Transpersonal Psychotherapy help to heal the “inner child”. Your inner child holds the key to emotional history and feelings that determine your response to adult life. Trauma will no longer rule your life, and you will respond to current events in ways that serve your best interests and highest purpose.

EMDR has proven, rapid success in transcending childhood trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and has helped victims return to normal functioning. EMDR also helps clients reduce the negative impacts of chronic anxiety, envy, grief, resentment, and phobias. EMDR can help you change self-defeating beliefs and behaviors, and heal the emotional and mental wounds inflicted by trauma.

Heart Centered Psychotherapy™ uncovers traumatic memories with more support than does traditional psychotherapy. Clients discover and build on strengths that minimize the effects of trauma. With a spiritual perspective, you can move away from “black-or-white” thinking, and toward peaceful acceptance.

BOUNCE BACK FROM BURNOUT.

If you’re running on a high-level, high-stress treadmill, you may be feeling a gnawing emptiness that assets and prestige can’t fill. Western culture has created a craving for instant gratification, which is always fleeting. No matter how much we have, we want more. Judith has the tools for you to build self-esteem and accept life on life’s terms. You will begin to know yourself for who you are, rather than what you have or what you do, and excessive behaviors (like overspending, overeating, or “workaholism”) will decelerate as you begin to actualize self-care and inner wisdom. You will find yourself dreading less and laughing more.

KICK YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY OUT OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT.

Most health insurance policies cover very few visits per year, and often require a co-payment even for those. More important, the insurance company’s provider list often limits a client’s choice of practitioner, and poor “chemistry” between therapist and client often results in long-term effort but minimal progress. Judith works to ensure compatibility between therapist and client, and has a strong network for referrals if needed. As necessary, clients can pay for services on a sliding scale.

BENEFIT FROM HEALING AND SUPPORT TOOLS NOT PROVIDED BY MANAGED CARE.

Managed-care providers often use cognitive and behavioral techniques that address thought and behavior, which are important, but miss the relationships among mind, body, emotions, and spirit. Also, in conventional therapy settings, the therapist rules, whereas Heart Centered Psychotherapy™ ensures that you and your therapist co-create your growth process. Since emotions are –among other things--physical experiences, Judith helps clients process and release feelings, like sadness, fear and anger, with such body-mind methods as gestalt, psychosynthesis, psychodrama, bioenergetics, emotional release work, expressive therapy, massage, yoga, and meditation.

LIVE A BALANCED, CONTENTED LIFE.

Would you like to slow down in a world turning at Internet speed? Would you like to unlock your genius? In the face of today’s high-velocity culture, you can gain a renewing sense of ease and stability in your everyday life. With Heart Centered Psychotherapy™ you have the resources to respond—rather than react—to stress, tap your inner wisdom and creativity, and soothe the spirit.

REDUCE SELF-BLAME AND OFF-LOAD SHAME.

Whether or not you come from an abusive or dysfunctional family environment, Judith offers self-care tools for daily use. You will learn that you are worth the best you can give yourself, and that healthy choices are ultimately more pleasurable than unhealthy coping mechanisms. Most self-defeating behaviors have roots in childhood, at which time they were the only ways for a small child to survive turmoil. You will be able to create safety for yourself, set healthy boundaries, and give yourself the physical, nutritional, emotional, and spiritual care you deserve.

FEEL, TOLERATE AND NORMALIZE EMOTIONS.

Heart Centered Psychotherapy™ helps clients recognize, live with, and express feelings in healthy ways. Feelings are a vital part of human experience. You will learn how to differentiate your feelings from thoughts or actions and remain alive in your feelings, grounded, and secure. An idyllic, pollution-free setting in the midst of gardens and woods offers comfort and safety, often absent in the traditional psychotherapist’s workplace. Judith will teach you to express and release feelings held in the body, and eliminate emotional and physical blocks.

INCREASE VITALITY WITH SELF CARE

Self Care is both a manifestation of self-love and a way to increase self-love. Heart Centered Psychotherapy™ can help you retrain your psyche to hear and believe words of success. You will receive non-judgmental guidance to abstain from compulsive activities, modify coping mechanisms that hurt you, and affirm the central importance of your health and well being.
