Below are some of the therapy forms I am well versed in and utilize in a multifaceted way; however, my knowledge is not only limited to these particular therapies. I often utilize different techniques pulled from these therapies in order to service my clients. There is no one size fits all when it comes to therapy and I am here to identify which style fits you best!

Therapy Approaches

_______

Solution Focused Therapy

This approach places focus on a person's present and future circumstances and goals rather than past experiences. In this goal-oriented therapy, the symptoms or issues bringing a person to therapy are typically not targeted.

Instead, I will those in treatment to develop a vision of the future and offers support as they determine the skills, resources, and abilities needed to achieve that vision successfully.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

This focuses on modifying dysfunctional emotions, behaviors, and thoughts by interrogating and uprooting negative or irrational beliefs. Considered a "solutions-oriented" form of talk therapy, CBT rests on the idea that thoughts and perceptions influence behavior.

Feeling distressed, in some cases, may distort one’s perception of reality. CBT aims to identify harmful thoughts, assess whether they are an accurate depiction of reality, and, if they are not, employ strategies to challenge and overcome them.

Psychoanalytic Therapy

Psychoanalytic therapy is a form of in-depth talk therapy that aims to bring unconscious or deeply buried thoughts and feelings to the conscious mind so that repressed experiences and emotions, often from childhood, can be brought to the surface and examined. Working together, the therapist and client look at how these repressed early memories have affected the client’s thinking, behavior, and relationships in adulthood.

People with depression, emotional struggles, emotional trauma, neurotic behavior patterns, self-destructive behavior patterns, personality disorders, or ongoing relationship issues, may benefit from psychoanalytic therapy.

Interpersonal Therapy

Focuses on the connection between a client's relationships and their emotions, mood and underlying interpersonal issues. This helps address identifiable problems in the way that the client interacts with others and then offers tools and support to the client in making necessary adjustments in their relationships and interactions with others.

The main goal of IPT is to improve the quality of a client’s interpersonal relationships and social functioning to help reduce their distress.
