Eclectic Therapy

I respect my client's individuality and therefore I use an eclectic approach. Eclectic therapy basically means using different evidenced based modalities and techniques to match the needs of your client. When it comes to mental health, there is no once size fits all.

I draw from whatever sources I feel are appropriate to the client. Having had education in many, I seldom adhere rigidly to one approach, but rather find what resonates with you.

I pull from a ton of different modalities to customize the therapy experience to the individual client. Some of my favorites are EMDR, IFS, DBT, geek therapy, narrative therapy, and EFT. Everything I do is trauma-informed, consent based, and focused on harm reduction and that includes therapeutic modalities. I welcome feedback from my clients, and if something isn't working for you, then we'll find something better together.

Eclectic Therapy is when the therapist uses a multitude of therapeutic schools and techniques. I find every client to be unique, so are the client's needs. Thus, I use a breath of therapeutic approaches in order to meet the client where they're at versus try and fit a client into a certain mold of therapy that may not be advantageous for their healing.

I am knowledgeable about and trained in many modalities and interventions, but above all I take a flexible, integrative approach. I tend to draw on multiple techniques for an individualized, multifaceted therapy experience for my clients.

Therapy is not one-size-fit-all. I use an individualized approach to therapy to help clients meet their treatment goals. All techniques utilized are evidence based, grounded in research, to assure that clients obtain the best possible results. Treatment is tailored to each client and their individual needs.

I believe that it is important to tailor the interventions and treatment modalities to each client. Because of that, I have different approaches for each client, which is based on their needs.

I like to consider myself an Eclectic therapist, which means in essence that I use several therapy theories that fit the needs of people I'm working with for a maximum positive outcome. I don't think that " one size fits all ". The world can be a complicating place to navigate so we need to use all the tools we can to strengthen our inter resources to live fulfilling lives.

I offer a variety of tools: EMDR, DBT, Internal Family Systems, trauma-informed cognitive work, anger expression, art work using SoulCollage(r), somatic work including breath training, use of 101 Trauma-Informed Interventions and more.

I believe that every client's story is different and should be treated as such. The best practice I have found is Eclectic Therapy, meaning I do not only use one approach within my sessions. I take my time to get to know my clients and understand where they are coming from, so that I can choose the best approach that works for them. That usually consists of a variety of different strategies in order to treat each person as unique individuals.

I embrace Eclectic Therapy as a dynamic tool for personalized healing. Recognizing that each individual is unique, I draw from a diverse range of therapeutic modalities tailored to meet specific needs. This flexible approach allows me to integrate elements from cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, and humanistic therapies.

I always try to incorporate humor into my sessions to alleviate stress and help clients find some joy, even for a moment, in their lives.

Everyone comes to therapy with different needs and goals. As an eclectic therapy practitioner, I draw upon multiple disciplines and therapeutic tools to address the unique needs of each client, depending on their presenting problem, treatment goals, and personal preferences. I do not believe in a "one size fits all" approach to therapy, and I will draw upon my more than two decades of direct practice experience to work with you as we discover the therapeutic tools best suited to you.

According to the American Psychological Association, Eclectic Psychotherapy

"eclectic" simply means i do not exclusively follow any one or any few therapeutic modalities. i commit to an eclectic approach to honor the uniqueness of each client. i value remaining flexible and open so i can meet every client right where they are, as they are. i hope the information on my profile can offer a strong sense of the work i do and why i do the work i do.

Treatment can often select convenient techniques from various approaches, which are specifically tailored towards to needs of the client.

There is no one size fits all approach when it comes to mental health. Some modalities will work better with some clients, and some modalities will not. I do not take a cookie cutter approach to my work the clients.

I use a combination of different approaches depending on what your specific needs are. Ultimately, I don't believe that one form of therapy is better than another.

The field of Social Work, unlike other mental health fields, orients itself to a "person-in-environment" perspective. This means that no one modality is going to prove effective in treating every client. You are as unique as the history you bring into the room with you, therefore I pull skills and tools from the therapies listed below as we continue to progress through your therapeutic process together.

As a therapist who has been practicing for over a decade, I find it is incredibly helpful to have a number of different tools and modalities to utilize in order to meet the individual needs of each client.
