Psychotherapy & Couples Therapy

Psychotherapy

Dr. Way is skilled in psychotherapy drawn from a variety of theoretical orientations including: feminist, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, existential-humanistic and emotion-focused, as well as in a variety of psychological techniques including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) (Shapiro, 2001).

As a feminist therapist she has a special interest in women's issues and has acquired knowledge and expertise related to the psychology of women and their treatment. Moreover, because of her knowledge of the gender differences between the psychological development, socialization and, thus, life experiences of men and women, she has generally found her orientation as a "feminist therapist" to be well-received and effective in her therapeutic work with male clients as well.

psychological servicesDr. Way is currently applying herself to the development and practice of Energetic Self-Manifestation (ESM), a psycho-energetic treatment approach which offers an accelerated and multirealitied approach to the healing experience. ESM has evolved out of Dr. Way's work as a Sacred Energy Practitioner. It is a process which supports individuals in realizing their innate wholeness in the context of an enhanced awareness that they are Energy Beings.

Couples Therapy from an ESM perspective

Dr. Way's work with couples is based upon the theoretical framework and practice of Energetic Self-Manifestation (ESM). ESM, as it is applied to couples therapy, has been informed by the writings and theoretical approaches of many of the leading theorists and practitioners in couples therapy today, including:

Susan M. Johnson, Ed.D. - Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (Johnson, 1996, 2004);
Harville Hendrix, Ph. D. and Helen Hunt, Ph. D. - Imago Relationship Therapy (Hendrix, 1988; Hendrix & Hunt, 2004);
Daniel B. Wile, Ph. D. - Collaborative Couple Therapy (Wile, 1981, 1993 & 2002);
The developmental approach to couples therapy of Ellyn Bader, Ph. D. and Peter T. Pearson, Ph. D (1988, 2001) and their Couples Institute
The writing and ideas of Terrence Real (2002) and the Relational Recovery Institute.
The writing and ideas of Henry Grayson, Ph. D. (2003).


A brief synopsis of the foregoing theories and related writings is available towards the end of this article. [read more...]
