Therapy
How therapy can help
The therapies I offer have been systematically studied and shown to improve quality of life by reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and problem behaviors. These therapies are goal-oriented and short-term. We will work together to help you change the way you think, feel, and act, and we will do so at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Along the way, we'll use research-validated questionnaires selected for your presenting concerns to track progress. It can be challenging work, but you will carry the benefits with you even after therapy ends.
