Treatment Approach
- Biopsychosocial Therapy Takes into account biological, psychological, and social factors in understanding mental health. It looks at the whole person, not just symptoms.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
- Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) A short-term approach focused on improving relationships and social support. It is often used for depression and grief.
- Ketamine-Assisted Therapy Combines low doses of ketamine with psychotherapy to treat depression, trauma, and anxiety. It can provide relief when other methods haven’t worked.
- Psychoeducational Therapy Provides education and coping tools about mental health conditions. It empowers clients with knowledge and practical skills.
- Social Learning Therapy Based on the idea that people learn behaviors by observing others. It applies modeling and reinforcement to encourage healthy change.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
Approach Description: I specialize in bipolar disorder and substance use disorders, compulsive sexual behaviour/porn addiction and trauma. and I am trained in Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT) and Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) for trauma and PTSD. I have realized over my 20 years experience as a therapist, that my role is to help clients relieve their emotional pain no different than a doctor who relieves physical pain. Every client is different and that is why I work as a caring, compassionate client-centred therapist. Ketamine Assisted Therapy (KaT) for bipolar depression, addiction, anxiety and PTSD is available at my office in Toronto. I also offer a free 15 minute consultation.
