Piper Murray

Piper Murray understands that much of human suffering originates from a lost connection. When individuals experience depression, they have often lost touch with their own vitality and reasons for living. In moments of grief, essential parts of their world and themselves may seem absent. Operating from a place of shame or fear leads to a disconnect from the internal sense of security and belonging that reassures them that they are okay. Piper believes that psychotherapy can restore these crucial connections—to oneself and to the relationships and pursuits that lend meaning to life—allowing for more authentic, creative, and fulfilling living. She recognizes that change is challenging, as many have ingrained conscious and unconscious patterns that perpetuate pain in thought, feeling, and relationships. However, with the support of a therapeutic relationship, change becomes achievable. Piper fosters the security, skills, and strength necessary to deconstruct these patterns and nurture healthier alternatives. With a blend of warmth, humor, and a rich background in psychology, neuroscience, literature, multiculturalism, trauma studies, and psychoanalysis, Piper's approach integrates insights from both contemporary research and ancient wisdom traditions. She guides individuals in understanding how they can become unbound from their struggles and embrace their role as the creative authors of their own lives.
