Welcome...
Hi, I'm Joshua Schiffman, a licensed psychologist practicing in Madison, Wisconsin. I'm glad you've found my website, and I hope you'll explore it to learn more about me and my approach to therapy. As you look around, please feel free to contact me if you have questions. I look forward to hearing from you!
About Therapy:
For many people, therapy is about learning and change. Perhaps you're facing a difficult situation or struggling in a relationship. You may be feeling emotional pain or find yourself stuck in a frustrating behavior pattern. If you're thinking about therapy, you're probably looking to understand yourself better and change the way you think, feel or act.
If you chose to participate in therapy, we'll carefully explore your struggles so we can identify potential barriers to change. As we better understand your situation, we also give it new meaning. You will develop new ways to think and feel and I'll offer alternative perspectives and actions you can try explore. Ultimately, we will work together to plan ways to overcome your obstacles.
As a client, you have not only have my expertise, but my commitment to making sure you receive the therapy you want and require. Together we will determine the focus and duration of our work. Throughout your time in therapy and beyond, you have my assurance of the greatest privacy possible.
The Right Therapist?
I believe the most important factor in therapy is the relationship between therapist and client. Even the best therapist isn't right for everyone. As I mentioned above, part of my reason for creating this website is so you can learn a little about me and and my work. My hope is that this will begin to help you determine whether we will be a "good fit." Please browse the links above to learn more about my services . Again, I also encourage you to contact me if you would like more information. I am happy to discuss your questions over the phone or, if you prefer, we can even set up a brief consultation - free of charge - to aid in your decision.
