Brief / Solution-Focused Therapy includes:Focusing on achieving your goals and an orientation toward the future
Empowering you, by helping you identify and fine tune the skills you already have, and learn new skills that help you feel better about yourself and your life
Identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that affect your mood, undermine your self-worth, and sabotage what you are trying to achieve
Learning new patterns of thinking and behavior that help you feel better and increase your sense of personal control
Doing practice exercises in between sessions helps:
a) Solidify what you learn b) Make our sessions more productive, and ultimately helps c) You get to your goals more quickly. Studies indicate that effective psychotherapy often involves the implementation of diverse treatment approaches. Since my goal to provide you with a successful therapeutic experience, I may incorporate aspects from one or more psychotherapy models.Long-Term Therapy includes:Exploring deeply/ developing greater insight about yourself
