Andrew Fontana, MA, LMHC
Psychotherapist
(he/him)
I call myself a psychotherapist because I work from the premise that much of what influences how we feel and the choices we make exists outside of our day to day awareness (what I’d call the unconscious). I bring the following modalities and practices into our work together; attachment theory, relational therapy, narrative therapy, internal family systems and mindfulness. I also focus on the categories of shame and desire.
We begin psychotherapy by noticing; what is happening in your body, feelings and thoughts as we sit together for 50 minutes? Noticing the present leads us into the necessary work of telling the story of how you’ve arrived here. What about the present has echoes of the past? What patterns in relationships feel familiar in your story? To connect with what has been is often to connect with grief. Grief work is the story-telling of how pain and shame came to reside in our bodies. Through grief, we create space for us to re-connect with desire. And it is from this re-connection with desire we move into imagination together, to envision what is possible for the future, what your desire is revealing of your longing for your life.
