WRITE NOW THERAPY!

When I was working toward my MFT, I pivoted with a Master’s degree in Psychology to focus my research and practice on writing as a therapeutic option. Narrative Therapy was already a common practice in many therapist’s offices, however, I was finding there were opportunities to push therapeutic writing further.

What I learned from my education and research was that writing as therapy was a very successful approach even outside of the therapist’s office. Through my research, I also found that traditional therapy was not a widely accessible option for most people. Whether it was the cost or stigma that still lingered for traditional therapy (especially for men), therapy wasn’t an option for everyone. In fact, in one study listed on the Scientific Evidence page, doctors and general practitioners worried that if a patient disclosed a mental issue to them, they were not as likely to mention it to another professional, particularly if the person was a new therapist or “stranger.”

I created “Write Now Therapy” as an accessible self-help approach for people where traditional therapy is not an option. Focusing my profession on a very avant-garde approach allows me to use both my personal experience and my professional education in a very non-traditional way. As a mental health professional, I educate people to use writing therapy as a self-help aid. I also coach individuals who need professional guidance beyond what they can do themselves. As such, I am able to teach, train, and hold my clients accountable in terms they set out for themselves as their own, personal goals. This is about you and not me.
