Dr. Mike Schlesinger is a licensed psychologist and certified Rubenfeld Synergist with a practice in Philadelphia and Ambler, Pennsylvania. He has over 25 years of experience as a psychotherapist with the Department of Public Welfare in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Working with severely disturbed persons has given him the opportunity to deal intensively with a variety of life issues and has polished his clinical skills. He saw how emotional traumas affects the bodies of clients, especially in terms of distortions of posture, restrictions of movement, and the development of illnesses and somatic complaints.
In the early 1990s he was drawn to study the gentle, supportive body-oriented psychotherapy developed by Ilana Rubenfeld, more than thirty-five years ago. Even clients who have been physically and sexually abused showed an amazing response to this respectful, non-invasive blend of touch and talk. Movement and verbal metaphor are used to help the client increase awareness and express emotions that have been blocked. The clients own inner wisdom is called upon to make choices about resolving the conflicts and to integrate the new awarenesses.
He specializes in working with issues of: anxiety, relationships, and recovery from many kinds of trauma. Also, he has taught about "Body-Mind" therapies in various educational settings, and for the past 5 summers he has worked on staff at the Omega Wellness Center providing introductory RSM sessions to many different people.
"The Rubenfeld Synergy Method® has greatly enriched my life, both personally and professionally. It is both the most powerful and yet gentle form of psychotherapy I know of."
