Alfred Womack, LMSW
Octavia Butler put it very well: “hidden within change is surprise, delight, confusion, pain, discovery, loss, opportunity, and growth.” I’m here to help you shape that change, by giving you time, space, and guidance as you need, to find obstacles and ways through them—and to help you bear the pain that comes with change, as you grow into a life you can explore and enjoy. Through exploring your history and present conflicts in a secure environment, you gain insight, self-acceptance, choice instead of repetition, a voice that feels authentic, and the ability to tolerate discomfort and uncertainty.
Living life involves creativity, spontaneity, and autonomy: the sense that we are free, within limits we can accept, to make our own lives. My goal is to help you find that kind of freedom: the ability to love and work (and play is a kind of work) in ways that feel nourishing and real. As a social worker I am trained to see a person in their environment and to meet them where they are. With psychodynamic psychotherapy, mindfulness-based CBT, EMDR, and other modalities, we can work together to help you find a way toward health that feels true to you.
