Standish McCleary III, JD, PhD

My orientation and training is quite eclectic, drawing from cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, developmental, existential and experiential theory and practices, among others. A 36 year mindfulness meditation practice influences my therapy as well. I am routinely impressed with the effectiveness of EMDR in psychotherapy.

I use some of the newer techniques such as EMDR (for the last 16 years) and Thought Field Therapy (TFT) and am fairly active in the sessions. My background in law assists in keeping matters practically grounded as well as fully explored for maximum health.

Since psychotherapy is collaborative, the specific approach varies with individuals, but generally focus is placed upon identification More >>> of various problem issues and what can be done about them. The varied impediments, overloads, and restrictions upon one's potential for health and well being, as well as one's strengths, become grist for the mill of resolution and enhancement. We all benefit tremendously from accepting and facing our difficulties, and usually discover unexpected strengths.  Close >>>
