Effective psychotherapy is a science and an art.

The scientific component comes from the use of evidence-based practices that have been shown to be effective for the particular condition. Evidence-based therapies are those types of therapy that have been shown in clinical research trials to be effective in reducing or alleviating certain symptoms. I utilize the following evidence-based psychotherapies in my clinical practice: behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, prolonged exposure (imaginal and in vivo), and family-based therapy.

The artistic part of psychotherapy is to personalize your psychotherapy based upon your past experiences, present situation, and resources available to you. The plan for providing your treatment will be discussed collaboratively, accounting for you who are and what your experiences have been, and personalized to your needs.
