Areas of Specialty
Experiential - Emotionally focused Therapy:
The path into the unconscious is better accessed
through feeling and creative expression. Dr. McCord uses visualization,
regression, art, music, acting, movement, creative writing, story telling,
and other right-brained techniques to uncover the hidden messages and
relieve self-sabotaging behavior.
Pre and
Perinatal Psychotherapy:
The focus is on the effects of conception, gestation
and birth. Every individual has a birth story. If this stage was difficult
or traumatic it can be worked on and resolved. This first stage of
development, largely disregarded in psychology, is the most powerful and
determines how we feel about ourselves. Through understanding and rewriting
our stories, a new and empowering self-image begins to emerge. As this
happens life can open up and take on a new meaning. Clarity is the gift of
understanding this stage of our lives and with clarity better choices can be
made. Please visit this link Earthbabies
The Book.
Early infant and child issues:
attachment, sibling concerns and maternal depression.
This area focuses on teaching about connection and child development and
needs. Through education and practical assistance, mothers and families can
connect and function with love.
Adoption issues for adults:
Being adopted can be the cause of sensitive issues around the
self. Working with adopted adults and children to understand what happened,
why and how it made them feel about themselves can bring great relief.
Assistance with and during reunions is offered. Working to heal the bridge
between birth parent, adoptive family and the adoptee can offer a great
sense of freedom and peace.
Advocacy for alternative families:
Today's "family" looks different and the
trend is growing. Dr. McCord offers an advocacy and acceptance to pair
bonded couples and individuals who are in need of support.
