LMFT, 37 years of experience
Hey there! I'm Craig Lampkin, a proud native New Yorker. I became a marriage and family therapist because I love diving into people's stories, listening to their journeys, and helping them find solutions. My background includes attending the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in New York City, which gives my therapy a unique touch. I like to use visual cues along with a mix of different therapeutic methods to make our sessions engaging. Together, we'll explore new coping strategies, decision-making skills, and problem-solving techniques that can help you thrive! Therapeutic modalities are key tools in my practice that help reduce problematic behaviors and support growth in thinking, physical abilities, and emotions. These methods are tailored to individual needs. Cognitive Therapy helps people change negative thought patterns, while Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) combines thoughts and behaviors to address psychological issues. Trauma-Focused Cognitive Therapy aids in processing trauma in a safe environment. Narrative Therapy allows individuals to rewrite their life stories, promoting empowerment. Structural Therapy improves family dynamics to resolve conflicts. Strategic Therapy uses specific strategies for problem-solving, and Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes goals and strengths to create positive outcomes. These approaches work together to enhance well-being and personal growth.
The first session and the following few weeks are getting to know each other.
I enjoy using Cognitive Behavior Therapy, which is a good therapeutic approach and is structured. The end result is to be empowered while having the skills sets to sustain advancements in behavioral change and prepared to address any life challenges and changes.
