I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice, as well as, Solution Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. In your first session, we will explore your symptoms and historical background and what brought you to therapy. We can then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. During treatment I will help you push back against negative thoughts to change your feelings.
