I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Solution Focused Therapy. In your fist session, not only will we explore what brought you to therapy & complete the intake but we will decide the most appropriate way to help you to reach your mental health goal. With CBT, we will look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and reframe those to reach a solution that supports and sustains your growth
