Jane Vincent, Ph.D. My counseling work with clients incorporates cognitive-behavioral techniques and insight-oriented psychology, along with Buddhist psychology, including mindfulness and meditation techniques. I support my clients in developing lifestyles with time dedicated to self-care and nurturing. (Personally, yoga, meditation, singing in a chorus, quilting, and homemaking nurture me each week.) Since it's usually so hard for us to change our habitual ways of doing things and it takes courage, my counseling work encourages humor and teaches self-compassion. What I offer to others is the opportunity to learn to love themselves. Most recently my practice has drawn many midlife women, seeking support for caring for their changing bodies, seeking skills for how to stand up for themselves in relationships, and wanting to explore how to create the life that they desire. I help midlife women gain access to their own inner wisdom and energy, while acknowledging the losses they may be encountering. Developing love and compassion for oneself are key ingredients to the work of giving up destructive behaviors (like overworking and overeating), in order to replace them with healthier choices. Here I have been inspired by Mary Oliver's poem, "The Journey". Besides a private practice of nearly fifteen years, my experience has run the gamut from counseling seriously ill and dying patients, training professionals about incest and sexual abuse, consulting for two years in an emergency room, supervising graduate students, consulting at a residential school for delinquent teens, testing children and adults for attention and learning challenges, working with "cocaine babies" in the NICU of an inner-city hospital, and assistant-managing a halfway house for women who had previously lived for years in psychiatric hospitals. Another aspect of my life work is being the mother of an eleven-year-old girl from China. When she was a baby, we created a family through adoption, a blessing to both of us. We continue to blend the Chinese and American cultures in our home and activities.
