Don't aim at success. The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue. - Viktor Frankl

Daniel Schonbuch, LMFT's style

Why Daniel Schonbuch, LMFT chose to be in the helping profession

I was compelled to pursue a career in the helping profession due to my genuine love for helping others. There is a profound sense of fulfillment in delving into the core of issues, unraveling their origins, and assisting individuals in discovering effective solutions.

Daniel Schonbuch, LMFT's approach

In my therapeutic approach, I provide a nurturing and insightful environment, embracing a positive perspective. Integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Somatic Experiencing, and Logotherapy (inspired by Viktor Frankl), I diligently explore the roots of my clients' challenges. My focus lies in identifying their existing strengths and collaboratively amplifying their successes.

Central to my philosophy is the belief that my clients are complete individuals with an inherent capacity to navigate their concerns. I view my role as a guide, assisting them in uncovering the wealth of answers already within them. Through this journey, I strive to illuminate the inherent goodness within each individual, fostering self-discovery and empowerment.

Daniel Schonbuch, LMFT's experience working with the Jewish community

Drawing from my extensive background as a therapist, writer, and lecturer within the Jewish community for many years, I have gained a profound understanding of the unique challenges and dynamics within this context. My dedication is underscored by the creation of four books I authored, delving into the realms of individual psychology and family therapy.

Recognizing the importance of spirituality, I provide a nuanced approach for those seeking to integrate faith into their healing journey. This spiritual perspective serves as a valuable resource for addressing and resolving inner issues, offering a holistic and culturally sensitive approach to therapy within the Jewish community.
