Ernie Demis

My communication style

I aim to establish attunement whenever possible and speak the language of one's inner felt experience, one that may not have been put into words before we met. I'm a team player who encourages the use of outside resources.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey in mental healthcare has included diverse roles that helped me learn and grow, from evaluating geriatrics and first-break psychotic young adults to treating dually diagnosed individuals and their families. I also taught group therapy and treatment planning in a graduate psychology program.

My goals for you

My goal is to work collaboratively with you using proven cognitive behavioral techniques combined with insight from psychodynamic approaches to help you overcome challenges, gain new understanding, and make meaningful changes for improved well-being. I tailor treatment to your unique needs, aiming for lasting results through short-term work.

Our first session

Ask me what you need to know so we can form a successful partnership. Then I ask you 'nosy' questions to determine what brings you here at this time, pertinent background data, whether you're at risk, and what are your goals of treatment.
