Treatment methods
Positive Psychology
Positive psychology is the scientific study of human flourishing. It focuses on individuals’ and communities’ positive aspects and strengths as a path to well-being. I value positive psychology in my practice as it aims to help you: Feel positive emotions, Engage in activities that give life meaning and purpose, Have positive relationships with others, Finding meaning and fulfillment in what we do and seeking and Savoring achievements and accomplishments.
Psychoanalytic
Psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapies are important because they help people improve their lives by better understanding how they think and feel. These types of therapies help people feel more steady and secure with other people, feel more alive and creative, and rebound better when life gets tough leading to a more resilient and thriving person.
Relational
Relational psychology is based on the idea that strong and fulfilling relationships with other individuals can help people maintain emotional well-being, this model may be beneficial to people seeking therapy for any number of reasons, but in particular to address long-term emotional distress, especially when distress occurs as a result of relational concerns.
