Our Process
Therapy doesn’t need to be ambiguous. We work to make the process clear by highlighting the problems, goals and therepuetic tasks.
Initial Consultation
In this first session, we will discuss the current difficulties at hand and get a clear sense of the disturbances they cause. We will take a closer look at how they show up in one’s life and begin to inspect the root causes of one’s problems.
Internal Focus
Our therapy emphasizes the importance of focusing internally to understand what is causing distress. Many people come to therapy believing external problems are to blame. Therapy is more effective when we look at the internal mechanisms that cause one’s distress. This empowers patients to take responsibility for their distress and make the changes necessary to heal.
Therapeutic GOals
We develop clear therapeutic goals together. What is the opposite of the distress? Instead of feeling anxious or depressed, what does the patient want to feel? Instead of withdrawal, what do they want in their relationships? Establishing clear goals is an important part of the motivation to work and change.
THERAPEUTic Task
The therapeutic task is communicated and agreed upon mutually. Therapy is not a place to show up and talk aimlessly, but to be intentional about doing the work to heal and change.
