who i am
My name is Eileen Power; I became a therapist because I like to help people, and I like to talk! I enjoy listening to peoples’ stories and helping them work through various obstacles. A large part of what I do is connecting with my clients, giving them an unbiased person to speak with, and providing alternative perspectives. In working with you I will get to know you and your goals, and together we will find out what’s getting in the way of achieving these goals. Therapy consists of digging deep and opening up about some personal things. It can be difficult at times, but valuable in learning more about yourself, as well as learning to be vulnerable.
I like to problem solve and will work collaboratively with you, as well as with other providers. I use tools from solution-focused and cognitive behavioral therapy, among other therapeutic interventions. In working together we will explore a bit of your past, however I primarily like to focus on the present and your goals.
A little about me: I’m originally from California; I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology from San Francisco State University; I earned my Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling from Hunter College in NYC. I have been working in the mental health field for 10 years and thoroughly enjoy helping people feel better and achieve their goals. On a more personal note: I have a dog I adore and I occasionally like to run marathons!
who you are
You are an individual who can use a little help feeling like yourself again. You might be going through a life transition and can benefit from talking through some options or adjusting to new circumstances; you might be experiencing anxiety and want to get a handle on it; maybe you’re struggling with relationship(s) or want to create more meaningful connections; or you feel lost and want to create a life you’re proud of but feel stuck. Together we will get to the bottom of it and work toward whatever goals you have in mind. Reach out today to see how I can help!
