Welcome to Dara Sheik Psychotherapy
I am grateful for my patients' honesty and courage to become more of who they truly are. Thank you for being inspiring to all who really know you.
My practice is dedicated to young adults (aged 18-38) who are encouraged to get to know themselves and make progress towards fulfilling their whole potential. Therapy is a safe place to gain the support, understanding and strength to take on current life challenges.
In order to fulfill your innate potential it is important to have your basic needs for emotional security met. This includes healthy relationships with friends, family and community. Through this, a more secure self-esteem is developed. Therapy can develop into a foundation of support from which you can build more of the relationships and life you want.
Many young adults come to therapy because of difficulties in relationships. It could be a loss of someone close to you, or trouble with intimacy. All of this can block our growth and lead to a state of feeling lonely or isolated. Therapy can be a valuable place to explore obstacles to greater connection in relationships so that you can heal from past difficulties and move towards more satisfying connection.
My intention is to provide compassionate understanding so that we can work collaboratively towards more of the life you want to live. This often requires focus, acceptance of struggles, and patience. We can work together to dedicate ourselves to this effort. You are worth it.
My practice is a focused psychodynamic approach to therapy. This approach helps you gain insight into how past experiences are impacting your current circumstances. It is an approach to treatment which often helps you heal and to become liberated from unhealthy patterns which you may be stuck in. This approach addresses the nature of problems and thus often contributes to meaningful sustainable progress.
Therapy is not a quick fix, rather it is an opportunity to grow with virtue, courage, and patience. Facing life on life’s terms is not easy but can be satisfying when shared with those who are trying to do the same. Progress happens one day at a time and we can only begin from where we are.
If you would like to get in touch, then please call 805.307.7066 or email [email protected] for a free phone consultation. I am currently based in San Luis Obispo.. Please feel free to ask any questions which may be helpful.
