Since every person is unique in their backgrounds, in the situations with which they are coping, and in their temperament; I work with each of my clients to select the approach or approaches that will be most helpful to him or her. I use a wide range of approaches to help people achieve the results they want as quickly as possible. These approaches fall into 4 general categories. 1. A client-centered approach which primarily involves my listening to the client, helping them to think through their situation, look at it from a variety of perspectives, and challenging them to create their own solutions. 2. A cognitive oriented approach, in which I help clients recognize the thoughts that go into creating their distressing feelings, and I teach them skills to change these thoughts. This may also involve teaching Mindfulness skills to help the person cope with & release these distressing thoughts & feelings more effectively. 3. Using hypnotherapy, Neurolinguistic Programming, & Thought Pattern Management approaches to gain access to the unconscious resources that can help the client resolve and heal from past traumas, and to quickly & easily change the habitual patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that have been causing problems for the client. 4. A somatic (also called “psycho-physical” or “energy medicine”) approach that taps into the powers of the body to heal and create a change of a psychological nature.
