I am Dr. William A. Lambos. I am dedicated to providing quality care that emphasizes treating you as a whole person. In my treatment model, medication is a last resort and utilized only after other options have been fully explored. My approach differs in that I recognize the role of the brain in mental health. I recognize that problems in one area of a client's life impact other areas, and so my philosophy is designed to integrate all aspects of functioning. I am committed to helping you achieve balance and harmony in every area of your life by reducing stress and teaching independent self-regulation. What makes me different is that my approach "Leads with The Brain," and finishes with how you achieve balance and self-awareness. Many behavioral health issues have brain-based components that are usually ignored. Once these are identified and handled, therapy can do its job as it was always meant to work. In today's hectic, busy world, the keys to a peaceful and prosperous existence include the ability to manage stress caused by demands on our time and energy. Our unique selection of resources combine effective traditional approaches with innovative methods of treating the brain and body.
You can expect for me listen to you, first. This is about you! You can next expect me to ask detailed questions so I can explore and come to know you as a "whole person." Finally, you can expect me to offer advice for moving toward solving your issues and finding "the path" to improved happiness and better functioning.
I consider my greatest strengths to be knowledge, experience, and caring about my clients. As much as this sounds like "common sense", I am never surprised by how many therapists "don't get it." I've "been there" myself, and I am proud to say "I get it", and will "get you."
I specialize in individuals with "high-level" problems. My best fit for clients are otherwise successful individuals who may own or run businesses or corporate departments, deal with larger the average levels of responsibility, and are seen by others as leaders in their area. Gender does not matter, nor race, nor religious beliefs. If you feel your problems are likely to be shared by others who are considered leaders, managers, or professionals with high responsibility, then I am likely to be a good fit for you.
I trained with Albert Ellis, one of the most influential clinical psychologists of the 20th century, and am certified in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) by The Ellis Institute in Manhattan, NY.
I am fully trained in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR) for treating traumatic exposure and PTSD. Trauma therapy has increasingly become a targeted modality for over 60% of patients.
