You’ve tried the comfortable answers.
Let’s get uncomfortable.
A private practice for senior leaders, founders, and board members.
Challenging work that matters.
Parallax /'per-ə-ˌlaks/
The apparent shift in an object’s position caused by a change in the observer’s viewpoint.
Dr. Jim Mosher, PhD
Finding the right person.
I work with executives, board members, and business owners. 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.
Why successful people stall.
-
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.
Successful people see around corners and that can get in their way.
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.
-
Bats and birds both have wings. Their function is the same, but the underlying structure isn’t. This is convergent evolution—different paths to the same outcome.
High performers look alike, though what drives them rarely is.
For some, it’s early neglect that required you to be step-up.
For others, it was being a precocious kid in an average world.
Sometimes, things were fine; you’re just holding the standard.No matter the path, it’s the same outcome—success without fulfillment.
Real change requires we identify what’s driving you and start there.
Parallax | The Anti-Therapy
Four commitments.
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?
Not for All.
By design.
I only am 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 are tired of being the biggest person in the room
If you are realizing that more success isn’t the solution
If you’ve found therapy and coaching are not at your level
