The first session is an assessment to determine behaviors, beliefs, and emotional status that effect how one interacts with their environment. This will include significant history taking, identifying support networks, resources, and your physical and emotional response to those around you. We will begin to discuss goals and the therapeutic process.
Following sessions will further identify historically significant events in ones life, whether one has a support network, and focus on what the goal of therapy is that motivated you to initiate the therapy. Once goals have been established we will work to develop tools to cope with distress in your life and to contain your response to those events that are disruptive. We then begin to process those experiences that trigger emotional, physical and cognitive responses that bring about distress, with the goal of allowing one to be comfortable in one’s mind and body.
I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Ego State Therapy (EST), visualization, mindfulness techniques, dream work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my practice, along with other training I have received in such disciplines as hypnosis and neurofeedback to fit the needs of the individual.
