I also specialize in treating
substance use
disorders as well as pre and post operative bariatric surgery patients (including pre-op psychiatric evaluations).
My clients tell me that the most surprising part of therapy is seeking help for one problem, and uncovering other symptoms or life events that contribute, usurp, or impact the original problem in ways they never knew. Therapy is exactly that. It starts with one thought or concern and moves toward resolution using rapport, trust, and open communication between the therapist and the client. Together we work to identify areas needing change, learning and practicing skills to get you there, celebrating the wins (every little one), supporting the misses, and finally providing you with the tools to meet your goals.

What type of Middletown mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist or psychologist, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.

How to find a therapist or counselor in Middletown?
When looking to find a therapist, start by considering training and credentials. Studies also indicate that the therapeutic alliance, or the relationship the client develops with the therapist, is an important factor in their ability to work together to achieve the client’s goals.
What method of therapy is right for me?
When it comes to treatment methods, there's no 'right way.’ Each method of therapy can be beneficial for a variety of issues. Finding a psychologist or therapist who is a good fit for you is the most important step to discovering what type of therapy, or combination of therapeutic approaches, will meet your individual needs. Learn what to expect from different types of therapy and how they work.
How to use my insurance?
Understanding cost and insurance coverage is an important concern for many people. With some basic research and conversations with prospective therapists, you should be able to have a good understanding of the best way to afford therapy.
