Integrative Therapy

One of my favorite approaches working integratively is using "parts work therapy". If there is trauma, this approach will work to integrate the scattered, disorganized and disowned parts of the self; identifying parts that are overwhelming, silent, frightened, bossy and dominant. By embracing and exploring rather than rejecting and denying our parts, we find a safe inner world free of enemies.

Although you sometimes feel disconnected from yourself, you were born to be connected. The problem is that some parts of you have fallen out of integration. I was trained by the co-creators of an integrative assessment and treatment model called the Expressive Therapies Continuum, which helps me guide helping professionals to connect with all aspects of their physical, emotional, and intellectual selves.

I believe that every individual is unique. As a therapist, I compile a treatment plan that complements and supports you. This is why I will pull from multiple theoretical orientations and interventions to ensure that you not only have a plan that works for you, but is also empirically supported to ensure the best outcome.

At Washington Psychological Wellness, we practice an integrative and holistic approach to healing, considering our clients’ mental, physical, and emotional health and interpersonal and spiritual well-being. We consider each individual as unique and therefore cater treatment to the client. Drawing from various modalities and practices, we can match you with a therapist who will understand your specific issues and tailor your therapy plans according to your needs.

The most common topics I hear from men have to do with the following: Confidence, Feeling Stuck, Sexual Performance/Performance Anxiety, Stress Management, Intimacy/Relationships, Loneliness, Depression and Anxiety IF YOUR’E DEALING WITH ANY OF THESE, I’D LIKE TO HELP YOU.

Each of us are wired differently and coming from various backgrounds, therefore integrative therapy only makes sense to individualize the therapy for each client. By bringing effective psychodynamic, client-centered, cognitive, mindfulness-based, emotionally-focused, holistic approach and each person's spirituality facilitate wholeness of the therapeutic experiences and constructive changes.

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.

Integrative therapy is an approach to treatment that involves selecting the techniques from different therapeutic orientations best suited to a client’s particular problem. By tailoring the therapy to the individual, integrative therapists hope to produce the most significant effects.

As I am trained in a number of evidence based treatments, I pull from all of these depending on ever individual clients needs to tailor treatment for them and address their unique struggles.

Integrative Therapy is a modality that takes into account the needs of the whole person when determining the approach to take in the room. I have been very blessed to learn and practice a variety of modalities both in school and during my various practical opportunities. I spend a larger amount of time during my the first session understand the client enough to determine which approach could benefit the client the most in the long run.

Integrative therapy is not restricted to a particular methodology or school of thought. The goal of this is to improve the efficacy and efficiency of treatment and adapt it to the specific needs of the individual.

I have received extensive training in several modalities including: attachment theory, trauma-informed, motivational interviewing, somatic therapies, play therapy (theraplay), addiction counseling, CBT, DBT, ACT, utilizing art in therapy, logotherapy, narrative therapy, brief solution-focused therapy, positive psychology...to name a few! We will work together to integrate techniques that are right for your healing.

As an integrative therapist I recognize no one single approach can help everyone. I incorporate aspects of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, DBT, family systems therapy, psychoeducation/socioeducation and more, depending on what will benefit you. My initial training was psychodynamic and since then, I have learned many different modalities to help people heal and grow.

I use a variety of theoretical orientations and treatment modalities in my work with clients. Each person and situation is unique, and I believe that an integrative approach is most effective in working with a diverse group of humans.

While CBT is a great tool, there are outstanding therapies that can supplement CBT and be integrated together. I draw on some techniques from positive psychology, mindfulness, and developmental-behavioral analysis.

There's no one-size-fits-all approach. One thing most people get wrong is that they don't realize how unique they are. A lot of the work I do is collaboratively painting a clearer picture of who you are, what you've been through, and forging the strength (in a nurturing environment) to wipe your lens clean from distortions that are protective yet limiting.
