The earlier you see a therapist to address issues affecting you and the quality of your life, the faster you can learn new behaviors & techniques, and get back to enjoying and being happier in your life.
Practicing psychologists use an assortment of evidence-based treatments to help people improve their lives. There are many different styles of therapy, but the therapist will choose the type that best addresses the person’s problem and best fits the patient’s characteristics and preferences. For an overview of the main styles of therapy that I use, you can visit my “Therapy Approaches” web page. (mark, place hyperlink where appropriate here)
For some conditions, therapy and medication are a treatment combination that works best. For people who benefit from medication, therapists work with primary care physicians, and/or psychiatrists on their overall treatment.
In couples therapy, the therapist helps the individual partners to evaluate their relationship as well as to look at their individual contributions to conflicts within the relationship. Couples learn the art of negotiation as well as learn to develop creative solutions to ongoing problems. The therapist teaches new concepts that will assist you in collaborating around disagreements allowing you to improve the quality of your relationship.
The therapist will teach you how to identify a low-level fighting process and how to avoid escalating an argument, so it does not get out of hand. There is great focus on learning how the process of how you treat each other is often more important than the content of what you are quarreling about.
Yes. I will meet with you individually to understand your feelings and help you sort through your options. During these initial meetings I will be focusing mostly on gathering information and coming to understand your situation.
