Psychological Counseling

There are several approaches when it comes to counseling. Each one of you is/ are different and unique in your own way(s). After our first consultation, we can adopt a therapeutic methodology that fits your needs.

My expertise and knowledge favor:

• Psychoanalysis and Psychodynamic Therapies
• Behavioral Therapies
• Humanistic Therapies
• Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
• Narrative Therapy
• Integrative or holistic therapy

Psychoanalysis and psychodynamic therapies. This approach focuses on changing problematic behaviors, feelings, and thoughts by discovering unconscious meanings and motivations.

Behavior therapy focuses on learning's role in developing both normal and abnormal behaviors. Classical Conditioning, Desensitizing, Operant Conditioning, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy.

Humanistic therapy approach emphasizes people's capacity to make rational choices and develop to their maximum potential. Concern and respect for others are also important themes. Client-Centered therapy, Gestalt therapy, Existential therapy.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is rooted from Marriage and Family therapy field. This is a short-term goal oriented evidence-based therapeutic approach, which incorporates positive psychology principles and practices. SFBT helps clients change by constructing solutions rather than focusing on problems.

Narrative therapy is a form of psychotherapy that assists clients in identifying their values and the skills associated with them. This therapeutic methodology provides the client with knowledge of their ability to live these values so they can effectively confront current and future problems.

Integrative or holistic therapy is also available where we tie our clients to any one approach. Instead, we blend elements from different approaches and tailor your treatment according to your need.
