Working with teams or groups.

While a major component of lifelong happiness is tied to our work, nearly none of us receive training in how to navigate our work relationships successfully.Even if you went to the best accounting or engineering program, you probably weren’t given much support on how to work effectively in professional relationships even though you might be spending more of your day with them then your family! Cross-cultural differences can make fitting in and adopting the company culture feel difficult.

Finding a good fit with a psychotherapist has been shown in studies to be the most important factor in determining a successful outcome. To make finding a good fit affordable for you, I offer first sessions at $60.

For those who have far out performed our parents, learning to negotiate and  a new social class can be confusing and alienating, bringing up pain we didn’t even know was there until an accomplishment or opportunity brought up near or sadness instead of excitement. 

Even if we are excellent at our work, a big part of most jobs involves being able to effectively communicate, work with colleagues we may or may not know well at all, and manage challenging personalities, whether they are the boss or the client.  Unlike our personal relationships, there is generally an expectation that the way you are getting along won’t be discussed unless there is a problem and by then the stakes are pretty high and hard to recover from.  Yikes.  While it certainly can be helpful to discuss these issues with friends or a spouse, there is no substitute for learning real skills and techniques to navigate and move forward.
