What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Once your goals for therapy have been developed, I will provide a safe and confidential environment for you to share and process thoughts, feelings and experiences. You will be the driver of your therapy process. I will meet you where you are and help empower you toward goal achievement through implementation of evidenced based interventions. The ultimate goal from day one is to help you achieve your set goals, have healthy tools to manage life stressors and challenges independently and ultimately living a healthier life. The frequency in which we will meet for sessions will be dependent on your need and healing process. As you improve and achieve your goals we will review your progress, change or add goals as needed, or once you feel ready end the therapy process.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
The primary therapeutic approaches I use are existential, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Existential- Existential therapy approach focuses on self-determination and meaning making of an individual . Each person has the capacity for self-awareness, meaning and purpose are ever evolving as insight and development are ever changing. DBT- Dialectal behavioral therapy approach focuses on the development four key skill areas; mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. CBT- Cognitive behavioral therapy premise is that thoughts and perceptions influence behavior. Key focus areas include the development of skills to manage dysfunctional emotions, behaviors, and thoughts.
