HARRY
POLKINHORN, Ph.D., MFT (MFC 40094) 3232 Governor Drive, Suite J San Diego, CA 92122 (858) 395-4440 www.harrypolkinhorn.org Compassion, respect, and concern for the individual guide my approach. I believe that each person ultimately finds his or her own way to meet the challenges that life offers, and that it is the purpose of the therapy relationship to help someone get back on his or her own track. |

I have over six years of experience in the field of therapy for individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds. I also do dream work. We work towards the reducing of symptoms or distressing behaviors, including trauma, and we move towards improving personal and professional relationships. Some frequent areas include addictions, grief, anger, and being stuck in one's personal creativity. I have had specialized training in working with individuals (both victims and perpetrators) suffering from the effects of relationship and family violence. In helping couples and families I emphasize valuing the perspectives of all equally, rebuilding constructive ways to communicate about issues of infidelity, difficulties with intimacy, step-family stresses, boundary-setting, adolescent rebellion, and loss of interest in one's partner with life-cycle changes. My education in psychology was completed at the Pacifica Graduate Institute, a worldwide center for depth psychology. I am currently a training candidate in adult analysis at the San Diego Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. I also hold a doctorate in English from New York University and a masters in art from San Diego State University, where I have been on the faculty for many years, all of which has given me a broad background in the arts and humanities. I offer therapy in Spanish. My fees are negotiable.
