Psychotherapist James Finley says, “The tyranny of suffering lasts only as long as it takes for compassion to show up on the scene.” Many who find themselves reading this may experience themselves as subject to the ‘tyranny of suffering’ in some way and may be searching for a compassionate presence in which they can feel safe, be deeply seen, attentively listened to, and profoundly accepted. My name is Jacob Munhoz and I invite you to consider allowing me to be that compassionate presence for you. ***Out of deep respect for the confidential nature of this work, I do not work directly with insurance providers.*** I feel deeply honored to work with couples and individuals of diverse backgrounds, sexual orientations, and gender identities. In graduate school much of my research and clinical work was focused on interpersonal trauma, men and healthy, authentic masculinity, LGBT identity and relationships, and mindfulness and spirituality. My approach to psychotherapy is mindful and relational. In my psychotherapeutic approach those with whom I work come experience themselves, their relationships, and their partners new ways and to understand and change longstanding patterns. No one has to be defined by their past or past patterns of behavior.
