my approach to therapy
My goal is to work with you to enhance your life, your child's life and/or the life of your family through therapy:
- I create an individualized treatment approach that meets the needs and goals of the individual(s) I am serving. I feel that behavior problems and mental illnesses can significantly improve when provided the appropriate treatments and support systems.
- I understand and appreciate the value of collaborating services and if needed, I work to bridge the gap between the many resources available in our community. Accordingly, I act as an advocate for you and/or your family, working with teachers, counselors, psychiatrists, occupational therapists, social workers, and doctors to create a team that will work together to best meet your goals.
- I help individuals learn new skills in therapy and apply them to the “real world.”
Multiple treatment options are available depending on the presenting problem, diagnosis, and goals of the client, but include
- Client focused therapy
- Cognitive-behavior therapy
- Behavior modification
- Dialectical Behavior therapy
- Therapy designed to gain deeper insight into a client’s psychological functioning
