During these challenging times, there is so much hope in new approaches that integrate mind-body science to improve emotional health and wellbeing. We have the capacity to create new realities when we understand the nature of our own patterns of thought and behavior. Two of the most important steps we can take towards improved emotional health are learning how to regulate our nervous system, and implementing specific strategies to change negative patterns of thinking. We have the profound capability to do this.

Was your journey towards parenthood one that brought overwhelming feelings of sadness, grief, and anxiety? Has your relationship with your partner changed drastically since having your child? Is being a parent much more difficult than you expected it would be? If you’ve experienced anxiety, depression or trauma in the perinatal period, you’re not alone. The pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period can be one of the most consuming & loneliest times in a new parent's life. No one deserves for this time in their lives to be filled with distressing thoughts, dread, or fear.

Are you ready to make changes in your life but don't know where to start? If you feel blocked from reaching your full potential, or like the life you dream about is a world away, you're not alone. Being shaken from the path is a normal part of the human experience and re-finding your way can build you up stronger than ever. I believe that the counseling relationship is a deeply human and healing connection that reawakens ambition, purpose, and belonging.

Reality Therapy

Is reality therapy evidence-based?

Reality therapy is not well-studied, and it may not be as effective in treating certain mental health conditions when compared with evidence-based treatments like cognitive behavioral or acceptance and commitment therapies. However, some research does indicate that reality therapy might be helpful for people with addiction, and may be effective in treating social anxiety in young people.

How long does reality therapy last?

Reality therapy is less structured when compared with psychoanalysis, for example. Reality therapy is more open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to two times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. Individuals can also practice the principles of reality therapy long after treatment has ended.

Does reality therapy work?

Reality therapy can help a person manage concerns such as eating disorders, addiction, substance use, anxiety, phobias, and relationship difficulties. This type of therapy encourages a person to be accountable for their behaviors. This therapy may offer benefits that are hard to measure. Reality therapy can be useful in one-on-one therapy or in group sessions. This method may be used with children, families, and adults.

What are the limitations of reality therapy?

This therapy is person-centered or client-centered, and the therapist focuses on choices made by the individual in the present day. The therapist privileges the individual’s perspective over others. This format may feel frustrating for individuals seeking a more structured approach; certainly, no one therapy type will work for every client.
