Since 1984, I've provided services for adults and adolescents in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I have varied experience with depression, trauma, abuse, grief/loss, personal growth, relationships, and anxiety. I have also worked extensively with addictions and related issues ("co-dependency", eating disorders, alcoholism, dual diagnosis...).
I think people come to therapy for two fundamental reasons: feeling bad and wanting to feel better, or wanting to grow/improve their lives. Feeling better should be about resolving things- not just relief. Would offer this might be accomplished with an organized set of principles (or tools) anyone can use.

Petar is a go to resource for "doing the work." He is so knowledgable and works to distill that knowledge in meaningful ways for his people. He truly cares, digs deep all while being approachable and kind. I'm confident in referring to his practice!

Treatment plans as we call them, should be based on what a client presents with. Technically I am an "ecclectic" therapist, meaning that I employ several methods. I am what is sometimes referred to as an "active" rather than "passive" therapist, the former of which is more likely to encourage and educate clients about specific "techniques" that might be useful.
