Dr. Nora J. Baladerian

“My belief is that at heart each wants to lead a meaningful life. We want to enjoy certain achievements, milestones, and enjoy our loved ones. We also need to feel loved, needed and appreciated. Our work, social and family life reflect our spiritual and philosophical beliefs...and when they don't, we feel in conflict with ourselves, and seek assistance to get into a place of feeling good. I'll work with you to support you in improving your life, with a beginning focus on those factors that are critical now. We'll work together for your well being.

My strength is in listening. Really gaining an understanding, to find strengths, identify dissatisfactions, traumas, conflicts or other problem they are dealing with. We work together to find alternatives that work. I want people to feel better each time they leave a session, to be closer to feeling really good.

I use a mix of conventional and traditional healing methods including TFT, communication skills building, re-framing, & psychodynamic therapy. There is no one-size-fits-all strategy. I work with individuals from many backgrounds (SES, ethnic/racial, disability, sexual orientation, language) my approach is to honor each person's history and goals.”
