Individual psychotherapy

Psychodynamic Approach 

• View human behavior as being motivated largely by unconscious processes, and help client gain insight and understanding of the intrapsychic forces that are responsible for his or her maladaptive behavior

• Regard early development as having a profound effect on adult functioning. Explore how unresolved conflicts from childhood are reflected in the client's current family relationships

• Provide client with the opportunity for a corrective emotional experience

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy 

• Help client identify his or her distorted thoughts

• Test the reality and then modify the client's dysfunctional beliefs that underlie their distorted thinking

• Help client increase his or her adaptive problem-solving skills

Couples and Family Therapy

• Treat the couple or family as both a unitary whole and a collection of separate individuals

• Explore how each person's behavior has a cause-and-effect relationship between the family and their environment and how that relationship affects the family balance

• Help client reduce anxiety and alleviate symptoms by providing client with knowledge and tools to help them separate their intellectual and emotional functioning from the functioning of other family members

• Help client set appropriate boundaries within the family system
