Forums for Healing in a Safe Environment

- Individual therapy
- Couples and marriage counseling
- Family therapy
- Group therapy

Some patients see me on an individual basis. Others see me in couples counseling, in group therapy or a combination. Just as I draw on different theories and experience for individual patients, I recommend different forums for healing based on the specific circumstances and needs. The core of each of these therapies is the same: increased awareness and personal insight to enable change. But there are slight differences.

Individual therapy concentrates on the growing understanding of oneself that in turn helps one examine his or her behavior in the world. Couples and marriage counseling is oriented towards improving communication between couples and helping them understand how each partner impacts the couple. Family therapy provides the opportunity to examine the family as a whole, or system, rather than focus on individuals. Group therapy gives patients the opportunity to "try out" newly gained insight and understanding. Through group interaction in a safe environment, one's way of being in the world is highlighted and opened to change.
