TYPES OF THERAPY
Note on Top Specialties
My main methods for treating adult clients are Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy along with a Psychodynamic approach. In simple terms helping one to understand why you think like you think, and the reason(s) behind your thought process. Nobody fits in a cookie-cutter treatment plan. Everyone moves forward at their own pace. I believe in the power of perspective.
Note on Therapy Types
In addition to the treatment types previously listed. You will find I am flexible in adjusting my approach to you and your situation. Clients frequently find my extensive life experience in many jobs and professions, both blue and white collar, to be helpful.
