Eileen Bauer, LLC
Psychotherapist, LCSW, PhD
About me
My practice is based in the belief that we all have an innate capacity for healing and transformation.
I provide a secure and non-judgmental space for my clients to explore their inner world, so that they can gain insight into their feelings and create positive change in their lives.
​
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) trained in analytic and psychodynamic therapy.
I feel passionately about helping people connect with their true Selves. I believe that in order to heal and grow, we must be willing to explore our inner truths and face our shadows.
I am committed to helping my clients to live authentically and find meaning and purpose in their lives.
​
Why am I a therapist for adults as well as children?
​
Over the years it has become very clear to me that a lot of our adult traits are the result of how we perceived and adjusted to our environment during childhood.
​
In other words, the defenses and walls we have built in the past.
begin to get in the way of our adult relationships
​
​
For this reason I decided to further train child therapy and tremendously enjoy working with both children and adults.
