Barbara Gelfand, LCSW
Health and Wellness:

I have expertise in the area of health and wellness, providing consultation to patients with diabetes and other chronic illness, and in the treatment of pain, depression, anxiety, and eating and sleep disorders.

My approach to health and wellness incorporates psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral techniques with a focus on nutrition, physical exercise, and mindfulness-based therapy. My therapy practice is informed by my personal practice of yoga and meditation and my experience with various sports and dance activities.

I am especially interested in working with people who would like to develop their physical fitness - whether they are currently an athlete or someone who is just getting started. The pursuit and development of a healthy mind/body connection can improve performance in all areas of life. Benefits include reduced stress, increased self-esteem and an overall improvement in one’s ability to meet life’s challenges.

Mind/body techniques include: listening to the body and slowing down to increase awareness of sensation; paying attention to both our physical and psychological "edge"; understanding repetitive patterns of physical activity or inactivity; and using this knowledge to strengthen our relationship patterns and our core sense of self. Integrating mind/body techniques helps to protect and soothe both physical and psychological pain and promotes health and wellness.

Psychotherapy Practice:

We all have a desire to be heard, to be understood, and to be soothed. We often yearn for more satisfying and loving relationships. Therapy can provide the chance for you to talk about the areas of your life that you wish to change. I will listen carefully to you as we sort through obstacles that may be preventing you from experiencing greater ease and happiness in life. I'm patient and open-minded, and provide an empathic therapy space. I believe true healing occurs when we are mindful of taking care of our whole self - emotions, body and spirit.

I have over 25 years of experience as a clinical social worker and my experience has taught me that "the story always unfolds" and things can get better. I provide both short-term and more intensive psychotherapy tailored to the needs of each client.
