The Mission
Soileau Partners Psychotherapy was designed to provide a compassionate approach to mental health care, regardless of the individual's belief(s), identity(s), status, struggles, or past experiences. Our practitioners believe each person is unique and experiences life in ways that are unique to them.
The Approach
Our providers approach care with a wide breadth of experiences, education, and training, making it possible to offer a collective pedigree of approaches to providing compassionate mental health care.
Our practice provides an atmosphere of privacy, safety, and acceptance. You will be free to say or express whatever is on your mind in whatever order or way you might prefer. We will listen and follow you as you process and on occasion, we might comment or ask that you clarify your feelings, emotions, thoughts, and experiences. Our practice and providers desire to offer a space comfortable for emotional and psychological holding, allowing you to share your perceptions, understand your dreams, describe your fantasy world, and develop trust in the therapeutic relationship.
Throughout this process, we will learn to make sense of what brought you to see us by making connections between your feelings, emotions, thoughts, and experiences (past and current). Through understanding and learning about your ways of protecting yourself and how it affects you (personally and professionally), and challenging your assumptions, you will (over time) learn to face your anxieties and find other ways of dealing with them. This insightful process will make relationships, creative work, learning, and other interests or desires in your life more enjoyable and freeing.
The values and principles embraced by our practice and providers help safeguard and inspire unique, ethical, and curative patient experiences shaped by unconditional regard for exceptional patient care. Our clinical approach to providing the finest mental health care experience is rooted in fidelity, a gracious bedside manner, and in-depth psychoanalytic, attachment-based, and experiential interventions.
"The more you learn about yourself and your impact on your therapist, the better prepared you are to build satisfying relationships with the family members you love and the people you socialize and work with."
-David E. Scharff, M.D. & Jill Savege Scharff, M.D.
