We are at a very precarious time in human history that calls for big ideas and even bigger solutions. While we have evolved to a place of incredible intelligence and mastery, we have also developed the means to obliterate ourselves and life as we know it. America in Therapy offers HOPE by sharing the LITTLE KNOWN SECRETS of how we got ourselves out on this ledge, what keeps us here, and what we all can do to restore us to safety.
There is HOPE because in the field of psychology, the same tools we use to heal individuals and families of dysfunction, neglect, and abuse — these same tools can be used to heal a community, a state, and a nation.
Learn more about the true causes of hatred and violence and how you can be part of the solution.
“An innovative perspective that provides tangible solutions for our nation’s mental health crisis, bridging political divides and fostering unity and reconciliation through collective action.”
– Review from NewInBooks
WHO AM I TO TALK ABOUT BRINGING AMERICA TO THERAPY?
For America in Therapy, I’ve drawn on all I have learned as a psychotherapist of over thirty years, co-director of a sexual abuse treatment program– and as a wife, mother, and client myself– to make common knowledge the answers that the best psychology holds for healing divisiveness and violence in our country.
Join me on a deep dive into what therapy would mean for America and a path to healing a nation in crisis.

Buddha Had It Right
I found this quote in a recent Medium Magazine article by Rami Dhanoa, entitled, “The Single Sentence Buddha Kept Repeating When He Taught Mindfulness.”
We are One World
Worldwide information is one click of a computer keyboard away. We can see real-time images of a hurricane tearing its deadly path across a foreign shore, children sobbing in the face of yet another bombing. The list of courses is endless.
What’s in a Circle?
Sometimes it seems utterly absurd, foolish even, to be talking about love, peace, safety, and the tools for reconciliation in a world that seems increasingly focused on hatred, divisiveness, and violence. There are days when I fear my posts sound foolish.
Thanksgiving Thoughts
I wanted to write something about gratitude for Thanksgiving, but nothing came to mind that felt powerful enough. Without question, I am beyond grateful for all I now have, and especially as I get older.
