Colchester, VT
The critic gets a history, not a verdict.
Virtual therapy for Colchester, licensed in Vermont for telehealth. The first fifteen minutes are free.
Sessions here are by video. My Vermont license is a telehealth license, so there is no Vermont office. You need to be physically in Vermont at session time.
Fifteen minutes, free, and nothing to prepare.

Why people here get in touch
The voice sounds like you. It is not a fact.
The self-critical voice is convincing largely because of its tone. It does not announce itself as an opinion. It sounds like sober assessment, delivered in your own voice, which is why arguing with it directly so rarely works and often makes it louder.
The more useful move is to treat it as a part of you with a history and a job, usually a protective one it took on a long time ago. Understanding where it learned its standards is what loosens its authority, which is a slower route than positive thinking and considerably more durable.
How it works
The practical details.
Colchester sits on Lake Champlain north of Burlington and is home to Saint Michael's College. Sessions are by video, which puts a specialist practice within reach without depending on what is available locally.
Everything else is the same as it would be in a room: the same length, the same weekly rhythm, the same work. The consult is free and it is a conversation rather than an assessment.
Common questions
Asked by people in Colchester.
- What kind of therapy do you use?
- Mainly CBT, Internal Family Systems and somatic work, chosen to fit the person rather than applied in a fixed sequence.
- Is this just positive thinking?
- No. Affirmations tend to fail with this because they argue with a belief rather than examining where it came from. The work here goes underneath the thought.
- How often are sessions?
- Usually weekly at the start, since momentum matters early. Frequency is something to discuss rather than a fixed rule.
What I work on
The work itself, wherever you are.
Fifteen minutes, before you decide anything.
A free consult for anyone in Colchester. It is a conversation about what is going on and whether working together makes sense, with nothing to prepare.
