Eclectic Therapy

Having worked with people since 1990 it is almost unavoidable that my approach is eclectic. I have learned so many things over the years and the initial things I learned have been adapted dozens of times. I have had training in the newer trendy things that are variations on the old themes. Attachment theory goes back to the 1940s and 1950s. The internal family system approach comes from work started in the 1980s based on family systems theory that was from the 1940s and 1950s as well.

As an eclectic therapist I am able to use pieces of many different therapeutic orientations to best meet your needs. I am trained and versed in numerous treatment modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, Addiction Treatment, Mindfulness Based Treatment, Solution Focused, Etc. My training and understanding of numerous tools allows me to provide the most integrative and individualize care for you.

Eclectic therapy is an open, integrative form of psychotherapy that adapts to the unique needs of each specific client, depending on the problem, the treatment goals, and the person’s expectations and motivation.. In effect, an eclectic therapist customizes the therapeutic process for each individual by using whatever form of treatment, or combination of treatments, has been shown to be most effective for treating the particular problem.

During treatment, I may select convenient techniques from a variety of approaches and specifically tailor these techniques towards your individual needs. Therapy is a developmental journey, so different points within your life may signal the need for different strategies or interventions. This can include working on negative thought patterns, greater mindfulness, or even breathing exercises!

When using an eclectic approach, I tailor the intervention to the individuals unique needs. I work with my clients on their strengths and needs to determine the best course of treatment.

Eclectic Therapy recognizes that one-size does not fit all clients and a client just may not respond to one approach as well as another. This method allows me to pull from a variety of techniques and interventions to enable the client to achieve their goals and life changes that they desire. This also requires that I have in-depth working knowledge of many approaches to use them interchangeably and seamlessly.

Our providers have undergone specialized training in various forms of treatment Each therapist brings their expertise and knowledge in their respective modalities to provide effective and tailored treatment. We understand that individuals lead complex lives and face multifaceted challenges. Our goal is to offer a diverse range of providers who can skillfully navigate and address these complexities with evidence-based care.

I utilize an integrated approach of evidence-based practices in psychology. Clients can expect to learn techniques and coping skills from cognitive-behavioral, choice, and humanistic therapies.

In my sessions, I like to use approaches that best fit the client. I pull from CBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, family systems and strength based approaches.

It's likely that the therapeutic needs and treatment orientations you most benefit from will be organic and changing. Therefore, approaches will be tailored to you, and will vary according to what benefits you most. Humans tend to dabble in the gray. I will always closely observe what your needs are by listening, asking questions, learning and discerning what will benefit you most. This means that aspects of client-directed therapy, integrative therapy, DBT, CBT, and many more will be tailored.

I believe that every person has unique needs, preferences, and abilities. Everyone is their own constellation and I will work with you to discover what methods will best address your goals. I have been utilizing the Eclectic approach the entirety of my career and have found many ways to best tailor sessions and treatment to meet individual needs. I use methods that are scientifically proven to work, that go deeper than purely talk therapy, and in which I have been specifically trained.

Eclectic therapy is an approach that draws on multiple theoretical orientations and techniques. It is a flexible and multifaceted approach to therapy that allows me to use the most effective methods available to address each individual client's needs.

Eclectic therapy is a type of therapy that seeks to directly meet the client and their needs by utilizing multiple therapy approaches in order achieve the best treatment for each individual client.

By meeting my clients where they are, I am able to collaboratively identify problem areas and create a plan to meet their individual needs.

I like to think of my therapy as eclectic. I have a grab bag of styles and skills that I use as a client needs them.
