Modern life has a way of creating disconnection—both from others and ourselves. Constant distractions, political differences, the relative ease of online interaction, and interpersonal anxieties, can make even those closest to us feel a million miles away. It can be difficult to break out of old patterns and unlearn harmful messages about your identity. If you are looking for ways to be more present for yourself and your loved ones, therapy can be a great tool to look into yourself and reconnect in a supportive and vulnerable environment.

It is important to talk through the different therapy strategies with a client to determine what suits them and meets their expectations of treatment. I like using different modalities of treatment (like Dialectical Behavioral Treatment, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Client-Centered Interventions) and feel it is important to educate the client on these options so they can decide on what will work well for them. Regardless of the treatment modality they choose, setting realistic treatment goals is so important and will allow clients to see change as they work through treatment.
