Theoretical Orientation: (eclectic mix of the following)

• Person-Centered, Strengths-Based Approach

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• Emotionally focused

• Relational (belief that the therapy relationship can be healing)

• Existential

• Narrative

• Mindfulness based (teaching mindfulness skills)

• Family systems

• Focus on resiliency traits and building up social supports

*I consider all of these above mentioned theoretical orientations as guidelines to my work.  At the end of the day - I want to tailor the counseling experience to the specific needs of the person(s) I am helping.

UNCLEAR ON WHAT THE ABOVE MEANS?

Don’t worry! I am happy to explain in as much or as little depth as you would like, what I mean when I am referring to those above theoretical orientations. I will talk about these approaches during the phone consultation and during sessions.
