Thinking is healing! Philosophical Healing Services is dedicated to helping  you become more philosophically healthy.

​

Who are you? What would you like to become? What is your purpose? What gives your life meaning?

 

Philosophy is the art of living well and offers many tools for contemplating and enhancing our lives. Socrates said, "the unexamined life is not worth living," for it is through such examination that we arrive at questions of meaning, purpose, growth, fulfillment, and love. Philosophical healing differs from medical therapeutic methods in that it is not centered on me analyzing and diagnosing you. Instead, the focus is on facilitating and empowering your own self-examination.

 

I am here to be your intellectual friend to help you along your journey to more fulfillment and a thriving life.

​

*Note: Philosophical Healing Services does not offer mental healthcare services. Sessions and workshops utilize philosophical methods in consultation with clients and are not meant as a replacement for medicalized interventions and care.

"Do not simply discuss philosophical ideas, but do what follows from them," Epictetus.

​

Through each of the different services I offer, the focus is on building and maintaining a harmonious life. I work with you or your organization to design a healing plan to focus on specific areas of life you choose to prioritize. 

Offerings

"You are not a drop in the ocean, you are the ocean in a drop," Rumi.

​

Each service offering uses philosophical tools like compassionate Socratic dialogue, critical contemplation, creative problem solving, and intellectual courage to work through issues that are important to you. Individual and group services are each designed and conducted with your goals in mind. With equity and accessibility in mind, all services are priced on a sliding scale, with limited spots available for free services provided to students, recovery and support groups, and the financially disadvantaged.
