Tired of having the same arguments over and over? Wondering why you seem to be stuck in cycles with your partner, friends, colleagues or yourself? How often do you find yourself wondering, "what happened to that sweet loving person I fell in love with? How did Godzilla end up in my bed? Or worse yet, is that Medusa staring back at me in the mirror"? OK then.....welcome. I'm Joni Altshuler and after 30yrs in practice, I continue to be inspired and often awe struck by the people who walk thru my door. I've worked with people from all walks of life and and a wide array of challenges. While I continue to work with individuals, I do believe the greatest mirror for self discovery lies within the dynamics of our relationships and hence my practice has a strong emphasis on working with couples and groups. My approach is Present-oriented, Trauma informed and Experiential. I integrate a number of Mindfulness Based Cognitive therapies, Body oriented psychotherapy and numerous Somatic modalities. At it's foundation is the belief that while insight is important, real change takes place when we feel something in our bones and have a new experience of ourselves.
