Dr. Stone practices an integrated psychotherapeutic approach with adults and couples. A safe exploratory relationship is central to his work, allowing his clients to express thoughts and feelings freely, including aspects of themselves that were previously not fully known. Dr. Stone views therapy as an opportunity for emotional transformation, problem-solving and personal growth. He emphasizes identifying specifically what his clients wish to change and then collaboratively sets out to discover what has internally maintained these patterns.
His approach involves self-exploration, regulation of emotion, and developing a coherent mind-body understanding of symptom presentation. In addition to discovering and restructuring maladaptive thought patterns, Dr. Stone focuses on deeply processing and healing emotional pain. He focuses on symptom reduction and the rediscovery of personal qualities and vitalities previously blocked by anxiety, insecurity and limiting beliefs. Dr. Stone aims to help his clients clarify personal meaning and the empowerment necessary to take effective action. His work is empirically grounded in the psychotherapy outcome literature and informed by discoveries from the field of neuroscience about how to achieve deep, lasting change.
Drawing on over a decade of experience, Dr. Stone is adept at treating a wide range of psychiatric disorders and emotional difficulties, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, stress responses, obsession, trauma, couples/relationship problems, life transitions, spiritual discovery, men’s and women’s issues, pregnancy, raising young children, codependency, and many more issues. Additionally, Dr. Stone is adept at teaching the inner arts of mindfulness, breathwork exercises, dream analysis, executive function coaching, and related issues.
