• Teaches independent use of therapeutic skills as quickly as possible to minimize your expense and risk

• Pursues insight to help you understand your psychology and target the right behavior for change

• Suggests new behavior to try between your appointments

• Desensitizes your injuries and anxieties

• Improves your automatic rules for action

• Behavioral Therapy (for symptoms from your automatic or lower brain):

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

• Cognitive Therapy or CBT (to target your conscious or higher brain)

• Attachment Theory and Object Relations analysis and interventions

• Meditation and relaxation skills where helpful

• I combine insight and behaviorism.

• Unlike traditional therapists I design different behavior where pursuit of insight fails.

• Unlike behavioral therapists I pursue insight to create behavior changes with extra leverage.

• My own experience with behavioral and exposure work has taught me to make such work more comfortable.
