Patricia Wintyr, M.A.


Psychotherapist for over 33 years.

I believe much of human suffering is a result of anxiety and shame that we've had to face alone. My focus creates an emotional environment that makes it safe for you to access and process your way through these "stuck" emotions. Experiences you previously felt unbearable will then become a source of insight, aliveness, and healing. With healing, you become respectful and compassionate and can then recover your true self.

Major Sections

 

  • Internal Family Systems Therapy

    IFS is an empowering, positive way of understanding and treating problems. IFS involves helping people heal by listening inside themselves to different “parts” (feelings or thoughts), and unburdening themselves of unhealthy beliefs, emotions and urges.

  • IFS Classes

    Learn IFS as a practice for self-help and peer counseling.

  • The Diamond Approach

    I am a long-time student of the Diamond Approach, which has enhanced my spiritual development and informed all of my other work. I offer spiritual coaching. 

  • Enneagram

    The Enneagram is an amazingly accurate system that describes nine personality types, each with its own assets and liabilities, and prescribes specific actions to unburden clients of life-long counter-productive blocks. It is an important part of psychotherapy practice enabling me to help clients understand themselves and their relationships.

  • Enneagram Classes

    Introductory and in-depth classes studying the enneagram as a way of understanding and having compassion for oneself and others.

  • Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)

    EMDR addresses present and past negative experiences in brief sequential sessions that affect old energetic patterns. A technique is used where the client moves his/her eyes back and forth following the therapist’s fingers as they move across the field of vision.

 

 
 
 

 

THE WELL

"The well from which water is drawn conveys the further idea of an inexhaustible dispensing of nourishment…We must go down to the foundations of life. For any merely superficial ordering of life that leaves its deepest needs unsatisfied is an ineffectual as if no attempt at order had ever been made."

"The generations come and go, and all enjoy life in its inexhaustible abundance."

"and every human being can draw in the course of his/her education from the inexhaustible wellspring of the divine in human nature."

"The water is there for nourishment and healing, if we can only draw it to the surface."

"The well is cleaned, but no one drinks from it. This is my heart's sorrow, for the well is there for all to be nourished."

The I Ching

Testimonials
“Patricia is just so great at what she does. I think she understands me better than I understand myself. By using IFS and the Enneagram she has helped me accept all of myself. I have stopped condemning parts of me that I have been battling for years. I have reached a level of personal acceptance that has enabled me to forgive myself, and consequently to forgive others. I function at a much higher level of energy and effectiveness since working with her.”

Robert Tallon, Co-author of From Awareness to Action.
