Psychotherapy
Each person is unique, so the approach I take in therapy is flexible
and responsive. Some people need only a few sessions to make the changes they
want in their lives. Other problems are long-standing and benefit from more
exploration.
There are many kinds of therapy available; among those I offer are:
·
Psychodynamic therapy: an open-ended,
explorative therapy.
·
Interpersonal
psychotherapy: focuses on relationships, loss and life changes.
·
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT):
an active, problem-solving approach.
·
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT):
a recent evolution of cognitive-behavioral therapy, ACT is described at www.contextualpsychology.org.
ACT is related to several other developments
in psychotherapy including mindfulness
and dialectal behavioral therapy (DBT).
I also collaborate with other therapists to provide medication for
patients who are in therapy elsewhere.
