Accepting New Clients: I believe my clients are experts on themselves; sometimes they just need someone else to help them problem solve and listen. My Master of Education degree from Widener University, focuses on human sexuality, so my specialization is sex and relational therapy. However, I also work with individuals for concerns including anxiety, depression, and ADHD.

Do you feel like your best just is not good enough? Often in life we go about doing what is best for others, family, spouse, partner, children, loved ones, friends, co-workers, our communities and organizations within it and so forth. But what about you? Do you feel like you cannot breathe at times, do you need space to think, or try and put it all together? Do you feel sad or worried? Do you see yourself lonely at times, or asking yourself how did I get here? Why me? Where is my help? How do I balance my life? How do I break free from this unhealthy relationship? How do I move forward? Acknowledging and acting is the start!

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.
