A creative and integrative approach to therapy
Why we started CAP
After practicing therapy for almost 20 years in the New York City area we’ve learned a few things about the barriers to getting good therapy. The process of choosing a therapist can be daunting and many people don’t know what to look for. We believe in transparency in this process.
How therapy can help you.
Therapy can help you know yourself better (learn what you do). It can increase your insight (learn why we do what we do). It can help you come to a place of acceptance (have compassion for yourself). Therapy helps you to live in the present and have more agency in your own life.
“The quality of your life ultimately depends on the quality of your relationships.”
“Psychotherapy is a cyclical process from isolation into relationship. It is cyclical because the patient, in terror of existential isolation, relates deeply and meaningfully to the therapist and then, strengthened by this encounter, is led back again to a confrontation with existential isolation.”
