Much of what we will talk about will be Gestalt therapy which attempts to help you be empowered to learn to make your own decisions and help to find the sources of issues within your past. CBT and behavioral therapies are always useful in helping to see that by changing these thoughts you can easily change behaviors that follow. I also use some psychoanalytic to help to see the influence that development has had on current thoughts and emotions. And finally, Client centered which helps in creating an environment for learning as well helping in owning responsibility and empowerment to progress. If you are ready to get started just give me call at and I will get you on my schedule as soon as is possible for the both of us. If there is no answer it is likely because I am with another client, please leave a complete message with name, number, and reason for the call.
