Therapeutic Techniques
I specialize in the following therapeutic techniques:
Behavioral Therapy
Behavioral therapy is an umbrella term for types of therapy that treat mental health disorders. It's based on the idea that all behaviors are learned and that behaviors can be changed. This form of therapy looks to identify and help change potentially self-destructive or unhealthy behaviors.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on modifying dysfunctional emotions, behaviors, and thoughts by interrogating and uprooting negative or irrational beliefs. Considered a "solutions-oriented" form of talk therapy, CBT rests on the idea that thoughts and perceptions influence behavior.
Family / Marital Therapy
Family and marital therapies are forms of talk therapy that focuses on the improvement of relationships among family members or individuals in a romantic relationships. They can also help treat specific mental health or behavioral conditions, such as substance use disorder or oppositional defiant disorder. Family therapy can involve any combination of family members and marital therapy involves those within the relationship.
