Daphna Steier, PsyD

In practice since 1992

My approach to treatment is based on the idea that current difficulties are rooted in unresolved feelings, thoughts, conflicts, or coping styles from the past. I help people  understand the patterns in their lives and connections to the past, so they can live their lives more effectively in the present. A challenge from the present may have existed in the past and will likely reveal itself in our therapeutic work.  Often talking about a current situation with another person helps people look at the puzzle pieces differently, and gives them insight. Additionally, the therapy relationship itself gives important clues about what people do unconsciously; in other words, they did not know that they were doing something.

Therapy is designed to reveal feelings. Most of the therapeutic work happens in the sessions. It is conducted in a private and confidential setting. Usually, I meet with people at least once a week for an extended period. Ongoing treatment creates lasting changes. We end therapy when a person's mind feels mostly clear.
