Most sessions are treatment oriented using a cognitive behavior approach, however I also do a lot of work with adults abused as children. I work with many dually diagnosed clients -substance abuse and mentally ill . Referrals are made to Dr. Bennett McAllister if medications are deemed a possibility. He also uses TMS treatments for depression. I also see a lot of clients with posttraumatic stress disorder and complicated trauma experiences.
We use many styles of therapy. Our main approach is cognitive/behavioralism, but this does mean we are not involved in your emotional self. A traumatized person often has triggers that bring about a dramatic emotional response that includes unwanted memories. This can be from combat or childhood sexual abuse, rape, or other incidents of extreme stress.
There are very few subjects that have not been discussed in my office. You have comfort and safety. Embarrassing details are not written down or put into computers. Judgements are not made.
