Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
EMDR
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a type of therapy that has been used to treat people with a range of conditions, including PTSD, anxiety, and depression. During an EMDR session, the therapist will guide the patient through a series of eye movements, taps, or sounds while the individual recalls a traumatic event. This process is believed to help the individual reprocess the memory in a way that reduces its emotional impact. In my practice, I use EMDR as one of several treatment methods for individuals with PTSD or other trauma-related conditions. I find that it can be a very effective way of helping individuals to process and move on from traumatic events. However, I always make sure to work closely with my clients to ensure that EMDR is the right treatment option for them and that they feel comfortable with the process.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT therapy with individuals - sharing my personal experience and insights gained from undergoing cognitive-behavioral therapy as a form of psychotherapy that focuses on changing negative thought patterns and behaviors to improve overall mental health.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I would like to share my thoughts on the effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) when used with individuals. In my personal experience, I have witnessed its positive impact on people struggling with a range of mental health issues. The unique approach of ACT therapy, which involves accepting negative thoughts and emotions, rather than trying to eliminate them, has proven to be highly effective in helping individuals gain greater clarity and self-awareness. Through ACT therapy, individuals are empowered to recognize their core values and make meaningful changes in their lives that align with those values. Overall, I believe that ACT therapy can be a transformative experience for those seeking a more fulfilling and authentic life.
Motivational Interviewing
In my experience with Motivational Interviewing therapy, I have found that it is an effective approach to assessing an individual's readiness and willingness to change their addictive behaviors. This technique enables the therapist to understand the individual's current stage of change and motivation level, and thus tailor the treatment plan accordingly. By using this method, the therapist can help the individual identify and overcome any barriers to change, and ultimately achieve their desired outcome.
