INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Our psychologists offer psychodynamic therapy to adults of all ages. This type of therapy helps you explore your history as a way of gaining insight into and symptom relief from your present difficulties. Common areas of examination include thoughts, patterns of behavior, defenses, and dreams. Our therapists believe that a strong and connected therapeutic relationship is integral for successful treatments. We frequently use the therapeutic relationship as a template for understanding your relationships with important others in your life. Individual therapy sessions are 45 minutes.
couples therapy
We offer couples therapy sessions to couples in distress and/or those who would like to further explore and understand their relationship dynamics. Our psychologists are trained in a number of treatment modalities, including Interpersonal Systemic Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), and _____. In systems work, our therapists focus on the co-construction of couples’ difficulties and unresolved issues from couples’ families of origin. When incorporating EFT techniques, we examine the emotions and emotional communication in couples’ patterns of interaction. Successful couples treatments help partners become sources of protection, security, and comfort for each other. Couples therapy sessions are 60 minutes.
