My name is Jae Bunn. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) at Better Days Behavioral Health. I graduated with my Masters of Counseling from Arizona State University. I have worked in non-profit community behavioral health agencies and private practice settings before transitioning to Better Days. I have experience working in the community and in outpatient settings. I became interested in the mental and behavioral health field back in 2016 after completing volunteer work abroad where I recognized the importance of wellness –to include mental health, not just physical health – in shaping one’s life.

I work with children with behavior difficulties, autism or other developmental needs. This includes helping parents learn parenting techniques specific to their child and learn how to work with the school to create accommodations to help. I also work with children (age 2 and up), youth, young adults and adults regarding anxiety, trauma, depression, adoption and working through change of life stages. Finally, I can bring my experience with all ages together to help improve family communication and dynamics. My dogs work with me to help clients feel welcome and to reduce anxiety in sessions.

Adlerian Therapists

How does Adlerian psychology work?

In the framework of Adlerian therapy, people are motivated by a sense of belonging and community, which drives them to surmount feelings of inferiority so as to contribute to their society; fulfilling these desires can help people flourish. Adlerian therapy proceeds in four stages—engagement, assessment, insight, and reorientation—in an overall effort to understand the client’s past and to achieve their present-day humanistic goals.

Is Adlerian therapy humanistic?

Yes, Adlerian psychology is humanistic; it focuses on the whole person, emphasizes their strengths rather than just their symptoms, and centers them in determining how they can grow and flourish. This school of thought informed the work of Abraham Maslow, who went on to develop humanistic psychology.

How long does Adlerian therapy take?

Adlerian therapy is a short-term, goal-oriented form of therapy that takes around 15 to 20 weekly sessions. Of course, some people may be in therapy for a shorter or longer time frame; length depends on the individual and the problem or condition they wish to treat. Clients can ask their therapist about the timeline for treatment before they begin and check in periodically to ensure that they’re on the same page in terms of progress.

Is Adlerian therapy evidence based?

There is not as much evidence to support the effectiveness of Adlerian therapy as there is for other types of therapy such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. But Adlerian therapy may be the right therapy for some people—whether they’re seeking to treat mental disorders or achieve self-growth—especially those looking for a holistic approach that emphasizes relationships, community, self-worth, and purpose.
