Choosing
the Right Therapist
If
you
are considering therapy for the first time, or if you've been
dissatisfied with previous therapy experiences, you may be wondering
how to find the "right" therapist for you. Because I regard this
decision as an important one, I encourage you to call me to discuss
your concerns. I'll tell you if I think I can help with your particular
situation. You can decide whether to schedule a face-to-face session,
and if you find that you are comfortable talking with me, we
can
decide to continue. If not, I will offer names of other therapists or
resources who may be a better fit for you.
My
Philosophy
and Therapy Style
Clients
generally find me to be kind, gentle, thoughtful, and non-judgmental. I
also have a sense of humor, and believe in the healing power of
laughter (as well as tears). I take an active role in the counseling
process, asking lots of questions to make sure that I understand
correctly and giving feedback about what I see and hear. I respect my
clients' personal values, religious beliefs, and personality styles,
and have worked with people from all walks of life. My clinical
approach is "eclectic" (which means "whatever works"), with an emphasis
on cognitive-behavioral techniques and client-centered, supportive
psychotherapy. The average length of treatment for my clients is about
six months, though it can vary from weeks to years.
