Psychotherapy

A very calming space

Today, we lead increasingly complex lives that require us to negotiate multiple roles and readily access creative resources. Often however, we experience the demands of home and work life as overwhelming and draining, especially in the face of unexpected life challenges.

Symptoms and illnesses—such as depression, anxiety, and even some physiological conditions—may arise when we become disconnected to our soul experience. Who we need to be in the world and who we feel we are inside does not match up.

Psychotherapy is indicated when we experience a loss of meaning and sense of alienation from our development and our relationships. Psychotherapy's non-judgmental and supportive atmosphere allows us to re-evaluate our experiences and re-envision our choices in life from the perspective of our souls.

At Fair Oaks Therapeuticum, our goal is to extend conventional psychological services such as personal history, assessment, diagnosis, and psychotherapy to the exploration of soul. Therapeutic techniques include biography work, sand play, dream analysis, art therapy, movement, and natural medicines. Here's an outline of what we offer:

L.A. Times: Families of autistic kids sue over cuts in therapy

February 2010: Families of autistic children in eastern Los Angeles County filed a class-action lawsuit today against the nonprofit agency that provides them with state-funded services, alleging that it had illegally discontinued their therapy for the disorder. The agency, the Eastern Los Angeles County Regional Center, informed more than 100 families late last summer that the therapy—known as the DIR model, or "developmental, individual difference, relationship-based"—was being eliminated for their children because of state budget cuts.

The therapy is the basis for a popular treatment known as Floortime, in which a therapist follows a child’s lead during play activities to build communication and social interaction skills.

Brain imaging may help diagnose autism

January 2010: Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) process sound and language a fraction of a second slower than children without ASDs, and measuring magnetic signals that mark this delay may become a standardized way to diagnose autism. Researchers at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia reported their findings in an online article in the journal Autism Research.

"More work needs to be done before this can become a standard tool, but this pattern of delayed brain response may be refined into the first imaging biomarker for autism," said study leader Timothy P.L. Roberts, Ph.D., vice chair of Radiology Research at Children’s Hospital.
