Psychotherapy is not easily described in general statements. It varies depending on the personalities of the psychologist and patient, and the particular problems you bring forward. There are many different methods I may use to deal with the problems you hope to address. Psychotherapy calls for a very active effort on your part. You will have to work on things we talk about both during our sessions and at home.

Psychotherapy can have benefits and risks. Therapy often involves discussing unpleasant aspects of your life. You may experience uncomfortable feelings like sadness, guilt, anger, frustration, loneliness, and helplessness. On the other hand, therapy often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and significant reductions in feelings of distress. But there are no guarantees of what you will experience.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy makes use of the therapeutic relationship to understand, analyze and process through our past. It is particularly helpful in recognizing and changing lifelong patters of behavior. In contrast to Cognitive Behavioral therapy, we focus on the root causes of symptoms rather than the symptoms themselves. This process often involves-identifying feelings as they arise and learning to express them in the moment in adaptive ways.

It is particularly helpful in recognizing and changing lifelong patterns of behavior. This process often involves identifying feelings as they arise and learning to express them adaptively in the moment.

In addition to our psychodynamic approach, we supplement treatment with forms of CBT, Mindfulness and Virtual Reality meditation. This modality is available in-person and virtually. Feel free to ask about our approach.

Family Psychotherapy

We utilize a Family Systems model and help to identify maladaptive family patterns. Family therapy can complement individual work to create lasting change in the individual and family dynamic.

In family therapy, we strive to understand generational family dynamics and how they impact current functioning and relationships. This modality is available in-person and virtually. Feel free to ask about our approach.
