Getting to know Vernon Bauer
*This provider does not accept any Medicaid or Medicare plans*
What makes for a meaningful life? There are as many answers as there are people in the world. And yet, we all have to answer this question for ourselves. Maybe you're unsure of what you want out of life. Perhaps you do know, but feel conflicted about it. Therapy is a place where you can safely explore these larger questions around who you are and what you want so you can make lasting change and find meaning in every day.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a theater director - both roles center on shaping stories. In therapy, we collaborate to tell and even rewrite yours. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Columbia University, grounding my work in a strong understanding of human behavior and clinical practice.
I work with queer-identifying individuals-either creative or corporate in their pursuits-who are searching for purpose, feeling stuck, or looking for more than just a “quick fix.” My patients are invited to use their voice, be heard, and explore what's on their mind. Ultimately, they come out of therapy with a deeper understanding of themselves and tools to make meaningful adjustments in their day-to-day life.
Whatever our “here and now” symptoms may be-anxiety, depression, anger, or jealousy-they're almost invariably rooted in early life “then and there” experiences. Until we understand the roles we've been playing and the cast of characters around us, how can we ever expect the story to play out differently' My vision is for you to come out of therapy with a deeper understanding of your life so you can live a more fulfilling story.
As endorsed by Andrew Hanley on Psychology Today:
"Vernon has a sharp, analytic mind for recognizing and interpreting patterns and symbols in the lives of those he works with. He meets clients where they're at and provides ample encouragement and opportunity for growth."
