Bernard Lapp
I provide senior level expertise to help improve the quality of life for couples and individuals. I quickly get to the heart of the matter and focus on problems in the present by helping clients understand how the past has shaped and influenced who they are now. My collaborative style is direct, interactive, supportive and challenging. I guide clients in developing a deeper sense of fulfillment, and relationships with enhanced communication and intimacy. I treat people coping with anxiety, stress, depression, life transitions, and difficulties with relationships, family or career. My orientation combines psychodynamic insight with a systems orientation, and skills- based cognitive behavioral approaches. "Mel has an in depth understanding of the dynamics that get people stuck in a rut, and he stimulates them to get moving again."
