Resources and Inspirations
There are a vast number of books available for persons interested in learning more about psychotherapy, or particular aspects of human experience, considered and discussed through a psychological lens. Below, I have listed some books you may find helpful. Though in no way comprehensive, I have tried to include at least a few titles in each topic area that are regarded as reliable sources of information, or which have been useful to me a person and clinician. Preceding this list, I am also including a partial listing of organizations that provide supportive services in our community, and these are also noted, as the books, by topic area. If I can be of any additional assistance in recommending resources, please feel free to contact me either by phone or email. ORGANIZATIONS
