Stanley Wipfli - From Entrepeneur to Therapist

Being passionate about entrepreneurship, before becoming a therapist, Stanley Wipfli ran a business where he wasn't equipped to deal with many facets of the business.

Unaware of his limitations, Stanley kept working harder, thinking that was all he needed to solve his problems. He became a toxic, dysfunctional person until finally seeking out rehab and entering therapy.

As a result of getting help, Stanley took on a new career as a therapist with vigor and enthusiasm. He finally felt fulfilled as he focused on his strengths instead of his deficits.

Your situation may not require a career change, but it likely requires a skilled therapist to help you overcome your issues and guide you towards a more fulfilling life.

"If you’re like most professionals I see in my therapy practice in San Francisco, you’re likely feeling strained and overwhelmed by the demands of your life, job, family, relationships. You’ve accomplished much in your life, yet, along the way, you got off track. You’ve lost your sense of meaning and purpose.

The stress and feelings of emptiness in your life have gotten to the point where something has to give. You can’t continue the way you’ve been going. You may think that there is something seriously wrong with you - that you’re inherently flawed.

But being hard on yourself doesn’t help. Feeling stuck can be debilitating. If you could have solved your struggles by now, you would have. You’re certainly far from the only one to seek help when life has become too much to bear."

Getting Results Within the Context of Time-Limited Therapy

One method of treatment that Stanley Wipfli uses in therapy is called Cognitive Process Therapy (CPT). It’s a short-term approach that can bring remarkable results in 12 sessions.

Like many of therapy clients, your current problems are likely related to difficulties or traumatic events that have occurred in the past.

CPT helps you reframe these events in your mind and nervous system so that there is a reduction or elimination of your symptoms.

My Evidence-Based Therapy Methods Can Help You:

Feel more energized and alive
Feel calmer - manage stress and overwhelm better
Make decisions that bring you more joy and fulfillment
Improve feelings of self-worth and honor the value you bring to the world
Overcome negative habits - e.g., think more positively, become more productive at work, and heal addictive behaviors, etc.
Have more satisfying, fulfilling and loving relationships

You don’t have to continue to suffer when help is available that can transform your life.

With therapy, it’s possible to discover how to create a life where you thrive.

“I worked with Stan at the VA and highly recommend him as a psychotherapist. He is personable, compassionate, and has specialized training in helping individuals who have experienced trauma. He has strong experience across a breadth of mental health problems, including mood disorders, anxiety, and substance use disorders. I'd certainly refer my patients to him for individual therapy.”
