Phronetic Psychotherapy

We are a diverse team here at Phronetic Psychotherapy. Some of us have had previous careers in finance and the arts; others have only been therapists. Some of us are women of color born overseas, others are White men born in America. Some are in their 20s, others in their late 30s.

Our mixed backgrounds converge on a core idea: that self-knowledge—the kind that traditional therapy aims for at a steady week-by-week, year-after-year pace—is valuable, but insufficient. What a person ultimately needs is to take action. Hence ‘phronetic’, that is, the practical wisdom with which to determine one’s goals and the actions needed to attain them.

Of course, which actions to take are not universal. We tailor our approach accordingly, and have extensive experience in working with people of color, LGBTQ+ people, and people with disabilities. Likewise, we have successfully helped people in all stages of life, be they students, high-powered workers, single mothers, or new fathers.
