Mind-body approach
I collaborate with clients to pinpoint specific issues and establish realistic goals. This process may involve exploring the client's background, current challenges, and therapy objectives. I assist clients in identifying and understanding their negative or distorted thought patterns, which can be done through activities like maintaining a reflective journal or participating in exercises that bring these patterns to light. I also incorporate behavioral techniques to help clients modify their behavior. This might include exposure therapy for anxiety, scheduling activities for depression, or practicing new skills in real-world scenarios. We regularly review progress and adjust the treatment plan to ensure its effectiveness.
