Eclectic Therapy

I use multiple therapeutic approaches in my therapy practice. I pull from theoretical orientations like cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic, person-centered therapy, and more. I believe that no one approach is perfect and that each person requires a unique treatment plan.

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.

I focus primarily on building my relationship with my clients and then sharing therapeutic tools as they become relevant. Studies have shown that the biggest indicator of positive change for clients is the quality of relationship they feel they have with their therapist, so this is my anchor. The principles of building relationship that I strive to embody are authenticity, compassion, and creation of a collaborative relationship that focuses on the client needs.

I valued YOUR individuality and Eclectic therapy blends relevant evidence-based treatments to create a highly individualized treatment plan to meet YOUR needs. Eclectic therapy integrates your values, your goals, and your personality with treatments that are accommodating, flexible, and dynamic. Rather than utilizing rigid treatment protocols, an Eclectic approach tends to feel safe, relaxed, and catered to you. This balance supports personal growth with a validating, comfortable vibe.

I believe in individualized care. Eclectic Therapy uses a variety of techniques and gives us the flexibility to tailor your sessions to best treat your current challenges, as well as any changes along the way.

I use a combination of Family Systems and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches.

I utilize an integrated approach of evidence-based practices in psychology. Clients can expect to learn techniques and coping skills from cognitive-behavioral, choice, and humanistic therapies.

As a therapist I borrow from different approaches and in my work I blend them. I am trained in Structural and Strategic Family Therapy and in Ericksonian Hypnotherapy, but I borrow ideas and techniques from Cognitive Therapy. Like most therapists, I use techniques of listening, reflecting, exploring history, and creating a relationship, that are grounded in Rogerian and Psychodynamic approaches.

An eclectic theoretical approach is utilized to meet the varied needs of clients. Clients like their issues are unique, and because of this uniqueness, clients require different levels of interactions, and counseling approaches. Eclectic therapy is not a concrete or rigid model. Instead it encompasses an array of interventions to meet the needs of the client.

Well, this is when I get to pull my years of experience and life experience together. I get to know you and decide what mix of tools might work best for you as a unique individual. I bring play into your life and a sense of joy again.

I offer a unique and eclectic blend of different practices as there is no 'one size fits all' approach that works for all. Drawing from the best of conventional & alternative medicine, holistic nursing's connection & caring perspective, cross-cultural wisdom tradition philosophies, various psychological theories including imaginal process, depth, transpersonal & the human potential movement. I blend that further with practical 'here and now' skills you can use in your world.

"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.

In my sessions, I like to use approaches that best fit the client. I pull from CBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, family systems and strength based approaches.

Taking from the DBT concept of "do what works", my approach is very eclectic. I tend to use a variety of different approaches when working with clients. For me there are no "one fits all" therapies. Each client is unique and my goal is to find the approach that works for you. Approaches that I tend to favor include CBT, DBT, attachment based, mindfulness-based, IFS, recovery/12-step concepts, ACT and trauma-informed approaches. My goal is to find the approach that works for you.

Integrating different forms of therapy helps to individualize the steps that we will use together to reach your goal. Most often I use attachment, and family systems therapies; as well as, psychodynamic to work towards the core issues identified in treatment so that you identify patterns and manage any triggers that have led to unhealthy coping skills or relationship dynamics.

Like most trained therapists, I have a broad knowledge base of several therapeutic modalities. My experience-informed skills show up in how I determine which of the modalities might be most helpful for each client. "Eclectic therapy" is not a "type" of therapy so much as it is a well-stocked toolkit for the therapist and client to rummage through and pull from.

Eclectic Therapy recognizes that one-size does not fit all clients and a client just may not respond to one approach as well as another. This method allows me to pull from a variety of techniques and interventions to enable the client to achieve their goals and life changes that they desire. This also requires that I have in-depth working knowledge of many approaches to use them interchangeably and seamlessly.

I consider myself to be an emotion informed behavioral therapist. I utilize a variety of interventions and tools to bring forth awareness, education, insight and encourage change, as needed for clients who seek a deeper understanding of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and how their past may be influencing their present and future in harmful ways. Clients will likely experience an improvement in their self-esteem, self-love as well as healthy relationships with self and others.

In my practice, I utilize a variety of modalities and theoretical orientations. To me, there is no one size fits all therapy. I believe that by creating a collaborative, therapeutic relationship with my clients, they can discover the tools within themselves to create meaningful change.
