Philosophy
I believe in a holistic approach to mental health. This philosophy focuses on moving towards core values and learning to recognize behaviors that prevent us from seeking those values. I incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques, which uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies together with commitment and behavior change strategies to increase psychological flexibility. We can use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to manage issues like anxiety and depression. Interpersonal psychotherapy and insight-oriented therapy are other treatment modalities that are helpful when dealing with social skills challenges.
There is no one therapeutic approach that works for every person. We will collaborate to find a treatment style and goal for you. The number of therapy sessions varies, and your progress will be discussed throughout your treatment.
