Mudita Nisker, MA Sex: Female; MFT # MFC17017 (Since 1982) Oakland (510) 655-2126 www.comoptions.com Fee scale: Sliding DESCRIPTION OF CLINICAL PRACTICE I believe insight is one step in the therapeutic process which needs to be embodied in the ways we live our lives. Communication skills training offers practical ways to apply new insights in daily life. For the past twenty five years, I have led communication trainings for Insight Meditation Society staff members (Barre, MA), for the general public, for parents, for therapists, and for profit and non-profit organizations. For a detailed description of my trainings, see my web site. With couples and families I emphasize communication training to help people learn how to work out their inevitable differences and enhance their mutual compassion. With individuals my approach is eclectic and includes cognitive therapy for depression, anxiety and self-esteem issues, transpersonal, communication and relaxation training and solution-focused therapy. I lead on-going women's groups and have led mother/daughter groups. I also co-lead a workshop to help people clarify their psychological relationship to money. I offer short and long-term therapy as well as brief consultations. VIPASSANA/MEDITATION BACKGROUND I've had over 35 years experience in vipassana meditation practice and lead meditation in my groups. RELEVANT CLINICAL TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE I've done extensive training work in communication skills, self-esteem issues, cognitive therapy (working with depression), relaxation training, and movement awareness. |
