Individual therapy is a collaborative relationship between you and I to address the presenting issues that you bring to therapy. I view the therapy process as two experts in the room; you have the answers you need, but they are sometimes difficult to find; I bring my experience and knowledge to our work together to aid you in finding those difficult answers. It is my belief that the more active role you take in your own treatment the more satisfied you will be with the changes in your daily life. Individual therapy typically lasts between 45-50 minutes, once or more a week, and consists of you and I meeting to discuss current issues and changes in your life.
I am able to provide couples therapy. Typical couples therapy involves you and your significant other(s) in a collaborative setting addressing issues of communication, conflict, and daily issues that you are having difficulties resolving on your own. It is my policy to see either individuals or a couple, but not both at the same time. It is my belief that if I am seeing you for individual and couples counseling that there is no information shared in individual therapy that should not be discussed in the couples therapy session. I would be happy to consult with a couple and see if I am able to assist in couples therapy, or aid in locating a more appropriate therapist.
I currently am not running any group therapy at this time. I would like to establish some groups that meet the needs of individuals, with potential topics covering adjustment, identity development, addictions, and therapy groups for those newly diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. If you would be interested an any specific group topics please feel free to contact me, if I am not running a group that you are looking for I will make an effort to aid in locating a group for you.
