Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I will work with you at apace that is comfortable with you and listen carefully witho9ut judgement. I would like to address the problems or issues you are struggling with and examine better strategies to deal with these areas of need. If you are experiencing a certain mood, or just feel like expressing yourself, then I certainly want to hear whatever it is; either in person, by video, email, or chatting on the phone. I want therapy to be a positive experience and I want to address your personal needs. together we can set goals and have a fluid conversation. I promise to proactively check on you at times. I will teach you new skills to deal with your past negative problems. I will be patient and listen as we go through this process together.

Families dynamics are complicated but easily managed. Everyone has a voice that needs to be heard. when there is more listening and less talking the family can hear from everyone's point of view which is key. different roles can be clarified and maintained.
