Welcome to the Joy of the Examined Life!

Using Analytical Therapy to Improve Your Life

The unexamined life is one without meaning; a life of going through the motions without any understanding or purpose.

The examined life is full of meaning; a life where a person is fully present, awake and engaged.

Much examination can be done privately, but often there are external events in our lives that throw us off our game. We can feel lost or stuck or highly emotional and really not know why. At those points in our lives, we need an outside, unbiased point of view to help us see ourselves in a new light. Our friends and families are too close, and sometimes too invested in the outcome of our situation, to offer objective counseling. Those are the moments to seek psychotherapy.

Therapy Does Not Need to Take Forever

Therapy doesn’t have to be a long, drawn-out process; depending on what’s going on in your life, we could meet for 6 weeks, a few months, or a year—but not forever! Often people begin with sessions once a week and then after a month or so, we can drop back to every other week. Each person is different and these parameters can be decided as we go.

These same principles of examination apply equally well to couples therapy or marriage and family therapy and help to smooth out relationships that have gone awry.

My name is Connie Hall. As a clinical psychologist, I am honored and awed by the process of analytical therapy and the amazing transformations that happen when a person chooses the examined life! I look forward to working with you!
