Transpersonal Psychotherapy

Lawrence Edwards, Ph.D., LMHC (NY) can support and guide you through effective methods
for freeing yourself from:
     Anxiety
     Stress
     Depression
     Addictions
     Anger
     Self-Sabotage
     Relationship Problems
      
Working with him you will learn cognitive, psycho-physiological and transpersonal methods
for transforming your life.  Through biofeedback training you can learn powerful self-
regulation skills.  Dr. Edwards draws on his extensive background and training in western
and eastern psychological traditions, including psychology, Jungian archetypal psychology
and dreamwork, cognitive approaches, and more than 35 years of practicing and teaching
meditative and yogic approaches to self-transformation.

Transpersonal Psychology (TP), which grew out of Humanistic Psychology in the early
1970's, adds to traditional Western psychology a spiritual dimension that fills the void left by
behavioral and Freudian approaches that dismissed the profound meaning of life and the
support many people derive from their connection with the Transcendent - the Divine - by
whatever name one might call it - God, Higher Power....  Naturally TP doesn't  force a person to
view life from that perspective, but it doesn't automatically exclude it, dismiss it or pathologize
it as some traditional western psychological perspectives do.  

TP combines accepted psychotherapeutic treatments for emotional, physical and stress
related problems with the wisdom and practices of our ancient spiritual traditions, thus
creating a powerful approach to healing and transformation.  Rather than focusing solely on
pathology, TP draws our attention to optimal states of well-being, higher states of
consciousness, and ways of accessing them through biofeedback, meditation, dreams and
visions, prayer and more.  Thus it is also used for personal growth and not just clinical issues.

Insurance companies view it in the same way they do other forms of individual psychotherapy.
