Financial Therapy
We offer financial therapy to help you better understand the money lessons you learned during childhood and onward and how they may be showing up in your adult life. Decisions about money are one the biggest stresses in a couple’s relationship; we may not know how to talk to our partner about financial goals in a constructive way.
A change in wealth can impact friendships, and family relationships, and make us question what is authentic in our lives. While we might be able to imagine how a sudden loss of wealth could impact us, we might have a harder time comprehending the challenges related to a positive change in wealth—whether it is through income, inheritance, selling a company or other high-value asset, or a relationship ending. Wealth Therapy can assist you with these questions.
How do we create meaning in our lives when we have the means to do it? When we get what we want—financial comfort and/or success—our expectations may shift towards “what is next.” Often, we don’t know who to discuss this with. How do we want to spend our time? What goals make sense to pursue? Together, we can explore these questions and others via Financial Therapy.
Please note that we are not Financial Advisors or Financial Planners, but we can refer you to specialists in those fields.
