After 18 years practicing psychotherapy I have developed into the intuitive yet practical counselor that I am today. I bring to my work a traditional psychodynamic, relational approach, my 25 years of study and practice of mindfulness and meditation, my work as an artist and study of creative modalities. I use many different practical techniques, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, guided imagery, relaxation, free association, dream work, inner child, and family systems, to help guide you as you make the changes in your life that you desire.
I believe that we all have creativity inside of us, our life force, and one of our most powerful healing tools. I will help you access this creativity and discover what makes your heart sing. I can help you clarify your goals, life purpose and gifts, and develop your strengths.
Experience has taught me that discovering and focusing on your positive aspects breathes life into your spirit, giving you the strength to combat your demons, negative thought patterns or behaviors, compulsions, addictions, or feeling trapped in the pain of the past and not knowing how to let go.

Women's Artmaking Retreat with Kate Ransohoff and Carol Greenberger
“Inside each of us there sits a most handsome creative seed-bud waiting to be called upon to grow… because the life source of this seed-bud, here named Charley, is outside the confines of our lives, we are often not sure what to do with the itching and jiggling that Charley keeps popping loose inside us. Charley will challenge and cry out - again and again - demanding to be set free. One day we will listen and become curious. On that day a practice – a practice celebrating Charley’s freedom – can begin.”

We will gather friday to connect, share our visions, talk with Kate and make plans for our weekend. Saturday and Sunday will be full days of Artmaking at a nearby studio space.

Carol has been in private practice for 18 years and is now practicing at The Relationship Center in Asheville. "I have painted for many years and whenever I have had the opportunity to work with Kate I have burst open to a new place with my painting. I always leave feeling inspired and ready to forge ahead in my work, or as Kate likes to say, my play. I have shared my inspiration for healing through creative work with many clients and am always heartened to see what happens when my clients tap their creative well."
