Dr. Lindsay Kramer, Psychologist |
People refer to therapy as a science, a practice, a journey—but I have come to view it as an art in the most exquisite form. Therapy is about expressing and emoting, and finding value in both the internal and external relationships we create. From a young age, I was beyond fascinated with feelings, for instance, why did I cry when I felt overjoyed, or why did I lash out when, in fact, I was truly sad? My education, clinical experience, and own personal therapy showed me the depth of this “art,” thus revealing the knowledge that can be gained, the healing of old scars, and the magic that can ensue when self-love occurs. I am a firm believer that therapy is not a requirement for healthy living, but similar to music and film, it can add insight and intrigue, deepen relationships, and significantly enhance the quality of life. My goal as a therapist is to help others discover this idea of wholeness, and cultivate a world in which self-acceptance can prevail.
