Hampstead Center for Psychoanalytic Consultation and Education
In-Person Location: Scottsdale
Specialties: Children, Teens, Trauma
My view of the psychoanalytic process encompasses the developmental nature of our life – of our present and past experiences. Through our communication, we work toward the discovery of one’s independence, creativity, and individuality – that is, becoming a person.
The goal with children and with adolescents is to restore them to the path of normal development. A developmental approach is utilized in assessment and treatment planning. The therapeutic time may include play, talk, and meeting with parents. Parental involvement in the process is crucial to the outcome of the endeavor.

Before entering my office, our staff will have already emailed you the intake paperwork to be completed online from the comfort of your own space. Included in that paperwork is a detailed questionnaire. Filling this out in its entirety is very helpful as it ensures the therapist gets an idea of why you are seeking therapy, any traumas or abuse that has happened, a brief family history, and what your goals are for therapy. I review this questionnaire at length before meeting a client or couple for the first time. I want to be prepared for you and make our first meeting comfortable and productive!
My office has a subtle safari theme and I have decorated to ideally create a warm, welcoming, cozy environment. I will begin a first session by stressing this is a space I want YOU to feel comfortable in. You can use whatever language you want and can talk about any subjects you want. You will not offend me. If this is couple’s therapy I will ask that you don’t use negative names/language directed towards your partner. I will ask if you have any questions before we begin.
I open up a first session by asking a question I know is on the intake paperwork: What brings you here today? I ask this in session because I want to hear you tell me in your own words. Many times the answer involves an important back story or steps that led up to making the decision to seek therapy. In couple’s therapy it is also helpful for your partner to hear this because you each separately submit your intake forms. Once the reason for therapy is established an open conversation between me and you will typically happen. I want to make sure I am correctly hearing what you are sharing and at the same time I am formulating what I anticipate future sessions may look like.
At the end of the first session I ask another important question from the intake paperwork: What are your goals for therapy? Essentially, I want to make explicit what you are hoping to get out of our time together. I then take your goals and create a treatment plan for you that would be sent via email through your client portal; just like the intake forms. Typically I see my clients weekly, especially in the beginning as we are working on your treatment goals, and I can set up your next visits right in my office. As you experience progress we space out your sessions to bi-weekly, every 3 weeks, or once a month until you feel you have met your goals.
If our first session is for couple’s therapy; the next two sessions would be one individual session for each of you and then the rest would be couple’s. The reason for this is that I would like to get to know more about you as an individual. How did you interpret the way you grew up and the childhood you had? How were you treated? Was there any trauma, abuse, or neglect in your past? If I can make connections to past events and patterns that are currently showing up in your relationship; I can bring those into your therapy sessions. This helps with not only building a wider understanding of self; but also of your partner and your marital connection.
