Dr. Bruce Poulsen is a compassionate psychologist who specializes in providing psychotherapy, consultation, and psychological assessment for adolescents and adults. He understands that psychological distress often stems from ingrained ways of perceiving and interacting with the world—methods that may have once served to protect individuals but can hinder a more satisfying and meaningful life today. With an emphasis on both practical solutions and in-depth exploration, Dr. Poulsen is committed to standing by his clients, whether they are grappling with specific issues like depression and anxiety or experiencing a vague but persistent sense of unease. His therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in psychodynamic principles, delving into the historical, emotional, social, and biological factors that shape each individual, unveiling both strengths and vulnerabilities. Additionally, Dr. Poulsen incorporates elements from family systems and cognitive behavioral therapy, allowing for a comprehensive view of his clients' challenges. As they work together, initial symptom relief may be the focus, but attention will also be given to understanding the underlying issues that contribute to their concerns. The collaborative relationship formed in therapy serves as a powerful agent of change, encouraging clients to explore new paths toward emotional and relational well-being.
