John Eric Monkhouse, MFT Adult Psychotherapy

Professional Statement

I am not the type of therapist that sits in a chair and nods silently at everything you say. My approach is warm, direct and healing on multi-levels. Depending on each individual case we can explore talking your story, expanding your breath, expressing ranges of emotion or moving your body. I consider my work and the space I hold as sacred. There are many doorways into the experience of freedom and together we can find the one that fits your Self. I specialize in Reichian (Orgonomic) Psychotherapy. I focus on an energetic concept of functioning which includes movement/blockage of energy. Free, natural pulsation (contraction/expansion) is the goal and the bodywork (breathing/pressure point massage/bioenergetic regulation) comes later if it is necessary to aid this process.
