I’m Dr. Sally Palaian; a licensed clinical psychologist and the author of Spent: Break the Buying Obsession and Discover Your True Worth. I’ve been in practice for over 20 years doing individual, couples and group therapy. Through the years I have worked with every type of addiction: food, alcohol & drugs, sex, gambling and compulsive spending addictions. I love helping people learn to live your own life and lifestyle, not someone else’s. I also help you to untangle yourselves within relationships, jobs, and lives that are no longer working. In addition, I am certified in Imago Relationship Therapy, which I have found to be very effective in working through problems that couples and families have. We can’t save all relationships, but I know that Imago does save many of them. I love helping couples identify the underlying problems in their relationships. I love helping people to change—to discover who you are inside and stretch to fulfill more of your potential. Life is short, don't wait too long to get help for yourself. You don’t need to go the journey alone. Most of my clients have a lot of information from self help books but don’t always know how to implement changes. Whether you are seeking money counseling, marriage counseling or psychotherapy, remember that you are worth taking the next step for yourself and following through on your interest in self improvement. Therapy isn’t what you see on television. Meaningful change doesn’t come magically. Sometimes it seems to take forever, and sometimes change is more sudden. Sometimes it’s hard work, and sometimes it is way easier than you thought. But, psychological change is possible.
