Common Therapy Approaches
Existential therapy focuses on you as a person rather than your symptoms. Anxiety is a part of being human, but you can develop the self-awareness to maximize your potential.
This approach allows us to talk in-depth about thoughts and emotions deeply buried in your subconscious mind, and to bring them to your conscious mind to allow you to deal with them.
We can work together to build sustainable solutions instead of focusing on past problems. You are in charge of building your future and I am here to help you.
CBT is used to treat a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and many more. The goal is to help you become aware of negative thoughts and behaviors so you can respond to challenging situations in a more effective way.
It is important to note that I use many therapy approaches, and those listed above are a few examples of commonly used approaches. I am able to use approaches designed to meet your specific needs.
