Bonnie Goetz, MA
Licensed Professional Counselor
I work with sensitive clients who are experiencing struggles with anxiety, depression and relationships, including:
Being hard on themselves beyond what is helpful; having difficulty with self-compassion.
Struggling with a lack of meaning or purpose in their life.
Having difficulty navigating a relationship that they aren’t sure is good for them; possibly clouded by the tendency to highly value harmonious relationships.
“People pleasers”; putting the needs of others before themselves, whatever the situation.
Often pick up, or feel, others’ mood states and emotions, either consciously or unconsciously.
Living with traits of being Highly Sensitive or with Sensory Processing Sensitivity (Different from Sensory Processing Disorders, such as Autism).
Wondering about their greater story they are living out and how the psyche is pushing them towards this.
Currently, or in the past, having been negatively impacted by a person with an antagonistic (such as Narcissistic or Borderline) personality style.
Struggling to “fit in” to a world that often feels draining and overstimulating.
Having difficulty speaking up in their relationships because they’d rather avoid conflict.
Wanting to explore what the invitation of their symptom(s) or problem might be.
Individual Sessions
I help sensitive clients through life’s challenges. I employ a range of therapeutic practices including mindfulness, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), communication skills, emotion regulation techniques, boundary setting, inner parts work, soul retrieval, skills for increasing self-awareness, exploring the root of the symptoms, as well as shadow and dream work.
