How specifically do we help?
Each person we meet is unique, and brings a different constellation of issues. At our first meeting, we evaluate very thoroughly and carefully:
Your presenting problems (what prompted you to call and make the appointment)?
Your symptoms with this problem (are you sleeping? Eating? Crying a lot?)
Your current living/ employment situation.
Your family history.
Your previous psychological/psychiatric history.
Any and all other relevant information.
Then, based upon years of knowledge and experience, we create a unique treatment for you. Our treatments are made of five important building blocks:
Compassion and validation of you and your situation.
Our wealth of experience in successfully treating many conditions.
Educating and informing you of information you may be missing.
Assessing continually, in partnership with you, progress you are making or stumbling blocks you may be experiencing.
Our knowledge and melding of evidence-based therapeutic strategies, which we apply to your unique situation
We incorporate methodology and techniques derived from Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Family Systems therapy, Interpersonal therapy, Transactional Analysis, Internal Family Systems, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic therapy.
