Will Hector, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
You are welcome here. Every part of you—from the well-worn habits to the unknown, newly discovered, or deeply desired—can inform our work together. Using mindfulness, curiosity, and a holistic perspective to understand the behaviors and coping patterns that are a part of your unique experience, I will support you in:
increasing self-awareness and intimacy
healing trauma
building more satisfying relationships
managing anxiety, depression, and other debilitating states
deescalating negative cycles that hold you back
recovering your truest, highest self
creating deeper levels of healthy emotional responsiveness
I maintain an empathic lens that allows for the fullness of your particular worldview and provide compassionate, holistic, and practical support for your healing journey. Since your therapist is, above all, a companion on your journey, my first aim is to help you fine-tune just the right approach to support the part of you that seeks clarity and wholeness.
Our work together will be gentle and respectful of your pace. I use relational, somatic (body-oriented), and evidence-based modalities depending on your needs, honoring the experiences that have shaped your life. Thank you for considering psychotherapy as part of your path. Online therapy using secure video chat and telehealth appointments are also available for those wanting to take heightened measures regarding coronavirus prevention.
Are you burdened with an overwhelming sense of sadness, grief, or hopelessness? Do you have trouble sleeping, eating properly, or motivating yourself to get out of bed or go to work? Are you avoiding people, activities, or social situations that used to give you pleasure?
There is a natural connection between body and mind; gently listening to somatic signals and body responses helps inform a more complete, nurtured healing. In the words of Dr. Peter Levine, "no one can heal effectively from emotional, physical, or spiritual pain and suffering without involving the body."
Do you find yourself avoiding social situations because they make you uncomfortable? Are you worried about things that either a) are objectively going okay or b) you have no control over? Do you essentially function well but find yourself keyed-up or on edge a lot of the time?
I utilize an integrative approach that involves the whole person and can include the present process, exploration of the primary emotions we typically protect, body experience, expressive art, movement, sand tray, imagery, and mindfulness to build competent, productive responses to life.
Do you and your partner go round and round, arguing about the same issues without ever resolving anything? Are you overly defensive, critical, or quick to blame each other over trivial matters? Do you want to make a leap from companionship to true intimacy?
Men typically have a difficult time reaching out for help. Socially, we have been confined to a narrow box of manufactured expectations that wholly ignores and suppresses aspects of life and parts of ourselves. As a result, our feelings have become something to be controlled and rarely acknowledged.
