I believe that effective Psychotherapy is the result of many factors. Two of the most important factors, in my experience, are: Technical Competence of the Psychologist and the Therapeutic Match of Client and Psychologist. The Psychologist's Technical Competence develops from the Psychologist's education, ongoing training, and clinical experience. A good Therapeutic Match enables the client to feel confident in and comfortable with the Psychologist. In my experience Clients are able to assess Therapeutic Match within one to two sessions; on the other hand, it may take longer for Clients to assess the technical competence of their Psychologist.

My ideal client is someone who is serious about their treatment and puts in the effort. Counseling needs consistency, one of the main factors that lead to success. I have a lot of experience with clients struggling with cognitive distortions that result from several disorders. I have also helped clients with their goals when they want to change their cognition. I also work well with clients who view the counselor not as a magician and how the clients would view the counselor as a guide in their healing process.

Hundreds of research studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)in working with anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, anger management and other psychological issues. As CBT has proven itself so beneficial, many therapists employ some of its techniques. But in order to have the best possible outcome with this form of psychotherapy, it is important to find a therapist who has been formally trained and certified in CBT. I am a graduate of the Beck Institute for Cognitive Therapy and Research, established by the founder of CBT, Dr. Aaron Beck, and a member of The Academy of Cognitive Therapy.
