As mental health professionals, we want to provide our clients with the most appropriate and beneficial treatment possible. There is an old adage, “if you only have a hammer, then you see everything as a nail.” We want to make sure our clients have a wide variety of tools to draw from as they navigate their ever-changing, complex lives.
In order to do this, we believe that we as professionals need a toolbox of our own that is filled with the highest quality tools. We are educated in several different methods of treatment (the tools of our trade) including Emotion Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, as well as several others. We use a targeted approach which draws from those methods to help ensure the best outcomes for our client.
We work with our clients to determine which techniques will best fit their desired outcomes for their therapy. That can look like a single approach or a blend of many techniques. Ultimately, what our clients need is what drives us.
