Zoe Newman Sex: Female; MFT # MFC24085 (Since 1988) 1940 Virginia St. # 201, Berkeley 94709 (510) 527-9061 www.camft.org/therapists/znewman Fee scale: Sliding DESCRIPTION OF CLINICAL PRACTICE I offer a compassionate, safe space in which you can explore and begin to change deeply rooted patterns, heal childhood wounds, learn to support yourself with self-acceptance, connect with inner resources and open to new possibilities. I draw on years of experience and a broad background including EMDR, hypnotherapy, my vipassana background and the Work of Byron Katie, as well as cognitive, Jungian and somatic approaches. I work with issues including: self-esteem, depression, anxiety, childhood abuse, trauma, loss, midlife, transitions and relationships. I offer both short- and long-term therapy with individuals and couples. I also lead ongoing dream work groups, including dream work with cancer patients at the Women's Cancer Resource Center. VIPASSANA/MEDITATION BACKGROUND Daily sitting practice, and a twenty-five year meditation background including three-month and annual six-week retreats at IMS and The Forest Refuge in Barre, MA; two months in Burma, Dzogchen practice, and programs at the Nyingma Institute; and staff at a Buddhist/Christian contemplative center in the early 1970s. RELEVANT CLINICAL TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE MA Clinical Psychology and MA Transpersonal Counseling Psychology I have been practicing psychotherapy and leading dreamwork groups for nearly twenty years, and have offered workshops on self-esteem, transforming anger, transitions, and using dreamwork perspectives in waking life. Ongoing professional training has included hypnotherapy certification; EFT; ongoing advanced EMDR training; and the spiritual direction training program at Mercy Center. I am also a certified facilitator of The Work of Byron Katie. (Eckhart Tolle has described The Work as "a razor-sharp sword" that cuts through the thoughts and stories that create suffering "and enables you to know for yourself the timeless essence of your being.") I offer drop-in Inquiry groups, workshops and classes, and individual facilitation in person or by phone. Please feel welcome to call with any questions, or if you would like to explore the possibility of working together. |
