From Our President and Clinical Director
For over 30 years I have dedicated myself to working with the complexity of individuals, groups, families and organizations. Throughout all of my work I have seen time and again how critical it is for all of us to gain self-awareness that supports us to build bridges to others. Our world has become isolative, not just through technology but by our disengagement in the lives of those around us. This is true for individuals, groups, families and organizations. In order to find and feel the success we crave in life, relationships, work and our families we must invest in the internal work of self-study. PsychAssets creates the entry point to begin to engage you wherever you are in your life. We see the uniqueness of each person, family, group and organization. Psych Assets is there to support that journey.
