Often times, people go to therapy because they feel anxious, depressed and overwhelmed. The therapeutic process can help us slow down, step back, take a nonjudgmental look at what's going on, and then try to figure out what to do differently. A sharp therapist can then help you develop new skills, healthier habits and more effective ways of dealing with your issues. In essences, together you and your therapist will, not only design a roadmap to help you get to the destination of your choice, but you will also a create a couple of extra maps to refer to when you take a wrong exit!
What is Psychotherapy?
Although there are many popular therapeutic models, I have chosen to use evidence-based tools and techniques within my psychodynamic counseling sessions. Evidenced-based is just a schmancy way of saying "scientific"- meaning these techniques have been tested through years of experimentation. I also incorporate action-methods and lots of coaching.
