Welcome

Jocelyn Sze, PhD

My passion in life is helping people make real, lasting change; not through a magic fix or by being in therapy for years on end, but by using cutting edge, time-limited treatment approaches that are based on current research and tailored to your unique values, needs, and goals. I believe lasting change occurs when 1) you are able to learn, practice, and experience a new way of relating to yourself, others, and the world around you; and 2) you have the opportunity to do so in the context of a safe, productive, collaborative, and caring therapeutic relationship.

Making the decision to reach out and start a path towards change is often one of the hardest steps. Moreover, finding the right match with a therapist who meets your needs and preferences is an important and often challenging task. In your process of deciding to begin therapy and choosing a therapist, please feel free to explore this site, find out more about my approach and specialty areas, and reach out to me with any questions you might have.

PLEASE NOTE: Dr. Sze is not currently accepting new clients at this time. Dr. Gordon, who works under Dr. Sze’s supervision, is currently accepting new clients. Please contact Dr. Gordon directly for new client inquiries.

Couples Counseling

Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) is a practical and highly effective couples therapy approach that has been validated by over 20 years of research. Studies indicate that approximately 85-90 percent of couples show significant improvement in their relationships after engaging in this therapy, including improved communication, reduced conflict, and better intimacy.

Stress, Anxiety, Panic

Anxiety, panic, and worry take a toll on millions, impacting our relationships, wearing out our bodies, and limiting our full potential for happiness and satisfaction. Fortunately, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can teach you effective strategies to break free from the grip of these emotions. CBT doesn’t make these feelings simply vanish, but it helps you work with them better so you can engage in the life you want.

Insomnia Treatment

Approximately 1 in 3 people suffer from bouts of insomnia. While many resort to sleep meds (which have been shown to lack long-term effectiveness) or have given up hope that better sleep is possible, a scientifically-proven treatment does exist. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, or CBTi, is considered the first-line, gold standard treatment for insomnia and typically leads to noticeable improvement within 4 weeks.
