    • Parallax /'per-É™-ËŒlaks/

    Parallax is a term from physics—the apparent shift in an object’s position caused by a change in the observer’s viewpoint.

    It’s also an apt metaphor for change. We don’t transform your life by changing the problem—too often, that isn’t possible. We do it by adjusting your perspective and, in turn, your relationship to it.

    Dr. Mosher is a board-certified executive psychologist interested in serious work with serious people who can't find anyone up to the task anywhere else.

    Dr. Jim Mosher, PhD, ABPP

    Finding the right fit.

    I didn’t build Parallax because I needed a successful business. I already have one, working exclusively with therapists.

    I built Parallax because difficult, demanding, and consequential work is what interests me most. Extending that beyond therapists to another high-performing group was a natural progression.

    If you want someone at your level, who keeps you on your toes while tracking your breadth and depth, then reach out. Let’s talk.

    Success doesn’t equal happiness.

    • Many successful people find the most important thing—a contented life—still eludes them.

      Maybe it’s the sense you’re still not enough, despite all you’ve accomplished.
      Maybe your future still doesn’t feel secure, despite all you’ve earned.
      Maybe it’s the need to retain control, because trusting others still feels unwise.

    • Being the biggest person in the room can be lonely. Being the smartest can be frustrating.

      You see around corners and it’s made you successfull. But it can get in the way, too.

      You need someone you take seriously—someone who is unimpressed , who is at least as smart as you, and who will put you on the hot seat for a change.

    • High performers often look alike, though what drives them rarely is.

      Maybe it was early neglect that required you to be the adult and step-up.
      Or maybe you were a precocious kid in an average world.
      Maybe things were fine; you’re just holding the standard.

      No matter the path, it’s the same outcome—you achieved success without fulfillment, without peace.

      Real change requires we identify what’s driving you and then start there.

    This meandering road is a metaphor for the meandering feelings and thoughts some people bring when they seek out executive psychotherapy.

    Parallax | The Anti-Therapy

    First-principles change

    We get beneath the surface, addressing the conscious and unconscious structures shaping you—and your role in maintaining them.

    Equal Footing

    Smart people rarely feel seen, so it matters that you find a therapist you take seriously and who can put you on the hot seat.

    Strategic Responsivity

    I am strategic, selectively responding to elicit change. Sometimes, that means listening; other times it means having an opinion and using it.

    Radical Honesty

    You can’t hurt my feelings. Be straight with me and I’ll do the same. After all, if your therapist can’t call out your bullshit, what’s the point?
    The refracted light and distorted pattern in the looking glass are a metaphor for the perspective shift and parallax that occur in successful therapy.

    Not for All.
    By design.

    I’m only interested in work that matters to us both, where we reliably achieve depth, and get you out of your comfort zone. When those conditions are met, change occurs.

    • If you’re looking for someone to push back for a change

    • If you’re used to being the smartest person in the room

    • If you’re realizing that more success isn’t the solution

    • If you’ve found therapy and coaching are not at your level
