Hello, my name is Kevin Murphy. I have worked in the field for thirty years. In that time I have worked with all ages and circumstances, but my primary clinical focus is trauma recovery and healing, anxiety, loss and grief, couples work, and transitions across the life span. I hold a Doctorate in Leadership, a Master's in Social Work, and a BS in Psychology.
I am very solution focused. I value education, and I believe the more one understands why we feel and function the way that we do, and how life can impact that, the more we can shape and direct meaningful and sustainable change. Towards that end, the ultimate aim of our work together is to teach you everything you need to know to be your own therapist, and to support you as you integrate this knowledge and skill into your daily life.
Everything we will build together is based off the strength of our relationship. Given this, the first session focuses on providing you the opportunity to ask and explore whatever and as many questions as possible. The overarching goal is to ensure you have a clear understanding of who I am, what the process entails, and to begin to clarify your desired outcomes for our work. If you are open to it, we will also spend time in the first session beginning to build a base of knowledge and skill around a set of core dynamics that will serve as the basis for the change process we will build together.
