My goal is to build a working relationship with each patient in an effort to provide quality psychiatric care tailored to each individuals needs. Quality care to me means spending the time to get to know each patient and understand each persons expectation. Our mental health is also compromised by our personal beliefs, values, family commitments, work demands and any medical conditions. It is important to find a psychiatric professional that will listen to you and respect you as an equal partner in managing your mental health by supporting you with the best options tailored to your situation not just looking at you as a diagnosis.

Most psychiatric patient comes into the office with a mental health problem and requires a professional to listen to their issues and assist them in meeting their needs. I first listen attentively to the patient for the reason of their concerns. Then, I perform an Initial Psychiatric Evaluation in according to the information the patient provided. After, this assessment I make an individual treatment plan and goals according to the patient's needs and with the patient's input. I believe in collaborating with my patients.

Accepting New Patients …Life can throw many roadblocks in your way. We sometimes have the tools to cope with these issues and then there are times that we must ask for help. Everyone has their own needs, strengths, weaknesses and goals. Acknowledgement of what is happening in one's life and realizing that necessary changes are needed is the basis for treatment. I believe in taking an individualized approach with each person and working together for the best possible outcome. This may require various approaches to achieve this but it is all about getting back to a place of acceptance and peace.

Reality Therapy Psychiatrists

Is reality therapy evidence-based?

Reality therapy is not well-studied, and it may not be as effective in treating certain mental health conditions when compared with evidence-based treatments like cognitive behavioral or acceptance and commitment therapies. However, some research does indicate that reality therapy might be helpful for people with addiction, and may be effective in treating social anxiety in young people.

How long does reality therapy last?

Reality therapy is less structured when compared with psychoanalysis, for example. Reality therapy is more open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to two times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. Individuals can also practice the principles of reality therapy long after treatment has ended.

Does reality therapy work?

Reality therapy can help a person manage concerns such as eating disorders, addiction, substance use, anxiety, phobias, and relationship difficulties. This type of therapy encourages a person to be accountable for their behaviors. This therapy may offer benefits that are hard to measure. Reality therapy can be useful in one-on-one therapy or in group sessions. This method may be used with children, families, and adults.

What are the limitations of reality therapy?

This therapy is person-centered or client-centered, and the therapist focuses on choices made by the individual in the present day. The therapist privileges the individual’s perspective over others. This format may feel frustrating for individuals seeking a more structured approach; certainly, no one therapy type will work for every client.
