You can find relief from emotional overwhelm, confusion, and your personal history

Jay Smith Noricks, Ph.D.

Jay Noricks, PhD, MFT specializes in helping people who are overcome with anxiety, sadness, anger, jealousy, and other emotions. Sometimes these normal emotions work to block us from living life as we prefer. You can remove the blocks with psychotherapy.

All psychotherapy or counseling has certain characteristics in common: supportive listening, empathic understanding, and unconditional acceptance. In addition, you will benefit from particular interventions aimed at helping you rediscover your centered self. If you choose to work with me we will not only work with the stresses you face in the present, but we will also pay attention to the painful experiences you bring to the present from your past.

What is Trauma Therapy?
A number of people have asked me to clarify what I mean by trauma therapy. It is a different kind of psychotherapy from the usual supportive therapy which focuses on the here and now in the therapy office. Read more...

Dissociative Rage
There is another kind of dissociative rage, one that does not involve amnesia for actions taken during the rage... probably the most common experience of rage.
