Beila Krow, M.A., M.F.T.
My specialties come from years of helping people to feel better and to cope with a wide range of problems. Please email me if you have any questions about how I can help you. I have provided an overview below of some of my specialties.
Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Issues:
I help gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender clients cope with issues such as "coming out," bi/trans/homophobia, family, relationships, transitions, sexual identity and gender. My personal experience of bisexuality informs my therapeutic alliance with my bisexual clients.
Alternative Lifestyles and Polyamory:
As a nonjudgmental therapist, when appropriate I help people in polyamorous (loving, honest, and responsible non-monogamous) relationships and other alternative lifestyles to resolve jealousy and other areas of difficulty.
Dating:
I coach you in navigating the increasingly complex world of dating to find your life partner. I teach communication and intimacy-building skills and use role-playing, visualization and homework assignments tailored to the unique personality and temperament of each individual.
Love and Intimacy:
I gently help people wanting a loving committed relationship to open their hearts and psyches to love and intimacy. I help people work through their fears of intimacy and vulnerability.
Relationships:
I can help you resolve common relationship issues such as problems with communication, love, intimacy and sexuality. I can teach you direct communication and empathic listening skills. I have been happily married since 1988 and draw upon my personal experience when appropriate.
Sexual Issues:
I help people to heal from a variety of sexual issues such as performance anxiety, difficulty with orgasm, and sexually compulsive behaviors.
Grief/Loss and Life Transitions:
I can help you heal from the death of a loved one or the loss of a relationship with compassion and empathic listening. And I can help you mourn and move through the stages of grief. When you're going through such major life changes as bereavement, divorce, and aging, I can be a supportive guide. I can also teach you better self-care skills to ease your passage through these difficult times.
Highly Sensitive Persons:
HSPs are easily over-stimulated due to an especially sensitive nervous system. HSPs may suffer from depression, shyness, or anxiety. I support HSPs in discovering the advantages of our sensitivity, as well as teaching strategies for coping with over-stimulation. I work with HSPs individually and in groups.
Women's Issues:
I specialize in common women's issues such as codependency, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, compulsive overeating, single parenting, PMS and menopause.
Anxiety and Stress:
I can help you cope with social anxiety, worry, stress and other forms of anxiety. I can teach you to reduce stress through relaxation techniques, autogenic training, hypnotherapy and cognitive-behavioral techniques. Autogenic training is a powerful, easy-to-learn, body sensation based technique for anxiety and stress-reduction. All it requires is a 10-minute per day practice. My personal experience, and that of the many clients I've taught this technique to, is that the results are deep and profound. There are 6 formulas, to be taught 1 session at a time, both in the stress-reduction class and to individual clients who express interest and could benefit from learning this powerful stress-reduction technique.
Depression and Low Self-Esteem:
I can help you overcome depression and low self-esteem through compassionate support, family of origin exploration, hypnotherapy and cognitive-behavioral techniques.
Adult Children of Alcoholics and Codependency:
If you grew up in an alcoholic, abusive or otherwise dysfunctional family, you may be codependent and have self-esteem, intimacy, and other relationship problems. If you find yourself putting others' needs above your own and/or over-involved with others' lives and problems, I can help you value and take better care of yourself. With empathy and compassion, I can help you release and heal the pain from your past. We can explore how your family of origin impacts you and your relationships now. I can help you increase your self-esteem and create healthier relationships.
Compulsive Overeating:
I help people to explore the roots of their overeating and to find new, healthier ways of coping with the urge to overeat.
Health Concerns:
I provide wellness coaching to help you meet your health goals. I offer individual counseling for people who suffer from chronic illness/pain and hidden disabilities. I work with people suffering from invisible, but often debilitating conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and irritable bowel syndrome. As someone who has been on her own healing journey, I can help you cope and ease your isolation with empathy for your experience.
Inner Child Healing:
Through psychotherapy and hypnotherapy I can teach you how to communicate with, comfort and take care of the child within.
