Integrative Therapy

I'm a lifelong learner, and a well-developed, skillful therapist. In years of graduate and post-graduate education, I've received various levels of training in the following modalities: CBT, DBT, ACT, MI, SE, EMDR, NVC, and IFS. I borrow tools and insights from all these therapies and integrate them for my client's benefit with my primary grounding and advanced training in systems-oriented (SCT) therapy and SAVI, which together offer a broad and deep framework for human challenges and growth.

Integrative therapy is a unifying approach that brings together physiological, affective, cognitive, contextual, and behavioral systems, creating a multi-dimensional relational framework that can be created new for each individual client. This practice is to help match the therapy techniques to you as a unique individual.

Whole-Person Centered

Pluralistic & integrative is different from "eclectic". It means allowing for a flexible, intentional, careful, individualized integration of different approaches, interventions, techniques, adaptions - depending on the client's preferences, needs, neurotype, & focus in therapy. We co-create a treatment plan with clients, & continue to tailor the work as we go, according to what's working for the client, & changes in their circumstances, comfort level & preferences.

I have an integrated approach that includes a person-centered approach informed by family systems, attachment, trauma-focused, motivational, and EMDR therapies. It is important to me to draw from therapeutic approaches and interventions that are a good fit for the clients. Having a wide knowledge of approaches and interventions allows us to draw from multiple sources when approaching a plan for healing.

I most often work from an integrative perspective, which means I use techniques from psychodynamic, interpersonal, and cognitive behavioral theories. I use the techniques that are most appropriate for my individual client's situation, and the ones that appeal to them the most.

While I'm trained in Narrative, Solutions Focused, and Collaborative Therapies, I draw on other therapies to fit the unique needs circumstances of each client. For example, a client coming in with issues stemming from years of childhood abuse may require a different approach than another client coming in with life transition issues. My approach is integrative and flexible to meet the needs of each client.

No one theory has all the answers, interventions, and tools necessary for every person seeking mental health counseling. I choose to integrate different theoretical approaches based on the needs of each person I meet with. While I bring DBT interventions to some sessions, I might instead bring aspects of Existentialism into a different session. With some patients, I might provide highly structured sessions, and with others I will be non-directive in accordance with each person's needs and goals.

I incorporate a variety of therapeutic approaches and techniques to address the unique needs of my clients. Integrative therapy involves combining different therapeutic modalities to create a comprehensive and personalized treatment plan. I have a commitment to working collaboratively with clients, and I am flexible and transparent throughout our work together.

I practice from a holistic, integrative (body-mind-spirit) approach that allows all dimensions of your experience to be included in treatment. My approach empowers you to tap into all of your resources and connect with your full potential.

I believe flexibility throughout the therapeutic process is essential. This may require integration of other therapeutic techniques and modalities (within my scope of practice & scope of competence), while incorporating your own interests and evolving needs. This may, at times, include collaboration with other members of your clinical/support team.

Therapy is based on each individual client and their specific needs. Having an understanding and being able to use multiple forms of therapy in different ways in important when being able to adjust for each individual client.

Integrative therapy is a combined approach to psychotherapy that brings together different therapeutic methods and theories, tailoring them to meet the unique needs of each individual client. By integrating various techniques, we aim to provide a more comprehensive and flexible treatment. We may incorporate elements from humanistic, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and other therapeutic approaches, to address clients' emotional, cognitive, and behavioral concerns holistically.

I bring a wealth of expertise in Integrative Therapy, skillfully combining evidence-based modalities such as cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and strengths-based approaches. I strive to address the unique needs of each individual, ensuring a comprehensive therapeutic experience.

I draw from multiple modalities, theories, and techniques in working with my clients. I view it as my role to flex to fit my clients, rather than asking them to fit my approach--while there are theories that I am drawn towards, I work to incorporate feedback from clients to help shape my approach.

I believe in a integrated approach to therapy, utilizing tools and interventions that can best help the client. Not every tool and intervention works for every client, so I find it best to have a large tool chest.
