Bruce Gurganus, LMFT
Over four decades of experience working in the mental health field, I have found that with empathic professional help most therapy clients find solutions to their issues within themselves. Problems occur when a person gets stuck with thoughts or feelings that are uncomfortable or unpleasant. It can be hard to find another way of being without a compassionate and wise guide. That's how I see my role as your therapist. By listening carefully and reflecting back, I think I can help you find the resources that are already within you to discover creative and healthy ways of responding to your present situation.
