Rom Brafman, Ph. D

I am fascinated by the way our mind works and our ability to heal and grow. I am always in awe of the human potential to overcome challenges and surpass even our greatest expectations. We usually think of counseling as a place to receive support and talk things out. That is true, but what makes therapy really work is the active and meaningful investigation of what's going on inside: drawing connections and identifying hidden patterns, gaining valuable insights, and coming up with concrete steps to move forward.

As a therapist, I'll join you by taking the role of an active participant. I'll ask you questions, share with you my theories and perspectives about what might be going on, and we'll arrive at a working hypothesis together. It's a team effort. You're not expected to work through things alone. You know the feeling you get after attending a really good concert or participating in a really good workout?

That's how therapy should feel: engaging, introspective, opening up new ways of seeing yourself.
