Hello,
I'm Lillian
de Blecourt
Licensed Clinical Social Worker & Psychotherapist
calm, confidence, clarity, self-knowledge, motivation for what’s important…
Could you benefit from increased capacity for any of the above? I think everyone could at times. In my work as a psychotherapist I can help you move toward increasing the qualities and experiences you’d like more of in your life. Before I tell you how I do this, see if any of the following circumstances resonate with you.
Do you find yourself thinking any of the following thoughts?
I feel exhausted; my mind continues to rehash situations over and over.
I know I need to set limits with others but I can’t seem to say ‘no’.
I feel overwhelmed much of the time and don’t know what to do about it.
The doctor says there’s nothing physically wrong with me but my energy level and motivation are very low.
Even after I do something well, there’s still the thought ‘maybe they won’t like it, maybe it’s not good enough.
I know logically this critical thought about myself isn’t true but I still sort of believe it.
Anger will boil up in me at times and I don’t always know why.
Suddenly I’m struck by fear even when there’s nothing threatening going on around me.
I have solid relationships in my life but still feel alone.
People in my life are trustworthy but I still continue to have a hard time trusting others.
I’m afraid people won’t like me if they really knew me.
With over two decades experience as a psychotherapist, I’ve worked with numerous people challenged by the thoughts listed above as well as many other concerns. My main areas of treatment specialization and interest are anxiety, depression, trauma and the impact of our relationships on our lives.
