Liza Veale, MFT Adolescents, Adults, Couples, Family

Professional Statement

I work with adults, adolescents and couples who want to feel more ease and fulfillment in life. In therapy, we address the innermost, often hidden parts of ourselves. We begin to gain more access to our emotional experience. This loosens the constraints of old patterns and allows us to shed whatever has kept us stuck in our ways. This work is sometimes painful but it is oriented, always, towards vitality. I join you in it, as a sensitive and direct listener. I welcome your messiness and darkness while being equally curious about your distinctiveness and creativity. The relationship we develop can be a space of self-observation and experimentation. The purpose is to find a greater sense of connection with ourselves, with others and, finally, with aliveness itself. I also work with couples. Our wellbeing depends on the health of our intimate relationships. Couples and families come to therapy hoping to reset a relationship that has become riven with conflict or deadened by disconnection. The therapy works by closely observing problematic dynamics in action. In sessions, we can slow these dynamics down and experiment with something new. Note: “dyadic” means any pair of people — friends, collaborators, I work with any type of relationship.
