Orientation & Approach
| My approach to psychotherapy aims to assist people to resolve
problems as quickly as possible. I endeavor to treat each person respectfully and
strive to provide an emotionally safe environment which will allow my clients to discover
new and more satisfying ways to live. My framework for understanding how people
achieve meaningful change has evolved over the years, but substantially draws upon
Cognitive, Experiential, and Humanistic perspectives. |
Personal Comments
| The term "psychotherapy" refers to a variety
of psychological interventions whose goals are to alleviate emotional distress and to help
an individual, couple, or family resolve conflicts and discover more effective and
satisfying ways to live. The role of the therapist is to serve as a catalyst for
meaningful and lasting change. Ultimately, the success of therapy depends on the
competence of the therapist, the comfort between the client and therapist in their work
together, and the willingness on the part of the client to learn about him or herself and
to try new things. People typically call a therapist when
they have tried everything they can think of and are feeling discouraged and overwhelmed.
Therapy is not magic and it does not usually bring immediate relief. Usually
within the first few sessions, however, people do begin to experience a renewed sense of
hope and personal strength. When I meet with a client for the first time, I often
suggest that he or she try therapy for a few sessions and then evaluate their
progress. Usually that is enough time to know if you feel comfortable with the
therapist and the therapist's approach. If progress is not satisfactory, you and
your therapist should talk about it. If, after a few sessions, it seems that there
is just not a good match between you and the therapist, you should consider seeing someone
else. A conscientious therapist will make every effort to assist you to find a
therapist with whom you can work productively. |
