W Scott Natale
I am happy you are considering a more satisfying way of life. Believe me, it is my pleasure to help you do that. Together, we can look at disappointments, core beliefs that support dysfunction, and determine the best way out.
In addition, along the way we will practice guided meditation and visualization with progressive muscle relaxation as a means to facilitate improved focus and mindfulness.
All that will be asked of you is to participate in therapy with the courage and honesty needed to be truthful about what is getting in the way of achieving your goals, be willing to cope with fear and learn something new. In addition, along the way we will practice guided meditation and visualization with progressive muscle relaxation as a means to facilitate improved focus and mindfulness.
First session
In our first session, we will take some time to get to know each other, establish the focus of our sessions and goal setting as well as cognitive behavioral means for treatment.
Strengths
My biggest strength as a therapist is empathy, my ability to not take things personally and provide undivided attention to foster increased understanding and for you to tell your story.
Ideal clients
Areas to explore include trauma reaction and coping. PTSD, Anger Management. Self Esteem and depression issues. My primary aim and interest are to work with patients who are motivated to participate in talk therapy, including discussion of goals and the thoughts and beliefs that are in the way of goal attainment. The best work is the result of a joint effort.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is an effective tool to identify core beliefs and changing automatic thoughts that support depression and anxiety. It has been and continues to be a central part of my work in therapy with patients of many different backgrounds and presenting concerns.
Psychodynamic
Psychodynamic treatment involves the role of important interpersonal relationships in the development of trust v mistrust, acceptance v rejection and connection v alienation as well as the impact of sensitive and consistent behavior in helping someone to correct issues related to these relationship stages that were not completed successfully in the past.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
A guiding practice for effective therapy is to allow the client to explore and discuss their natural ability to navigate psychological stress and explore options without concern about judgment.
Motivational Interviewing
Goal setting is very important to effective therapy, and the most useful goals are devised the client and therapist take note of behaviors that get in the way of goal attainment and work together to resolve the discrepancy.
