Eclectic Therapy

Integrating different forms of therapy helps to individualize the steps that we will use together to reach your goal. Most often I use attachment, and family systems therapies; as well as, psychodynamic to work towards the core issues identified in treatment so that you identify patterns and manage any triggers that have led to unhealthy coping skills or relationship dynamics.

Having worked with people since 1990 it is almost unavoidable that my approach is eclectic. I have learned so many things over the years and the initial things I learned have been adapted dozens of times. I have had training in the newer trendy things that are variations on the old themes. Attachment theory goes back to the 1940s and 1950s. The internal family system approach comes from work started in the 1980s based on family systems theory that was from the 1940s and 1950s as well.

Well, this is when I get to pull my years of experience and life experience together. I get to know you and decide what mix of tools might work best for you as a unique individual. I bring play into your life and a sense of joy again.

I use an Eclectic therapy which is an approach that draws on multiple theoretical orientations and techniques. I gather techniques from CBT, person centered, psychodynamic, existential, and a multitude of others to create a flexible approach.

Just as many other therapists, I recognize that one treatment modality may not be the best fit for everyone who chooses to work with me. That is why I will utilize not only DBT and SFBT but also the treatment modalities listed on my profile. I use a variety of treatment modalities so that we can find the right one for you. I'm receptive to all feedback and want to make sure we address your concerns in a way that works for you.

An eclectic approach ensures that our work fits your needs. Methods I use include talk therapy, CBT, somatic techniques, and mindfulness. I frequently incorporate techniques gleaned from narrative therapy, Internal Family Systems and Motivational Interviewing. When appropriate, I provide EMDR to help clients overcome treatment resistant depression, anxiety, trauma and other hurdles that impede therapeutic progress.

I believe each client is unique and therefore I have multiple tools in my toolbox to help tailer therapy to each individuals needs. My goal is to meet you where you are at and walk your journey with you by shining light on areas that need time or attention. Some modalities I use include: EMDR, CBT, DBT, Meditation, breathe work, and ACT.

Eclectic to me, means a model that allows me to integrate different approaches and theories to best serve my client's needs. I was trained to listen deeply in a very robust, clinical, client-centered, and holistic model of psychotherapy where issues like anxiety and depression could be engaged with from either a psychodynamic perspective or a cognitive behavioural one. When notions from the world of Gestalt therapy are helpful, then I will use those etc.

My approach draws on multiple theoretical orientations and techniques. It is a flexible and multifaceted approach to therapy that allows me to use the most effective methods available to address each individual client's needs.

I use several approaches to therapy and find that individual approaches to each person’s needs often produces the best results. Eclectic therapy a focuses on a collaborative approach between the client and therapist in order to customize and provide individually tailored treatment.

I like to consider myself an Eclectic therapist, which means in essence that I use several therapy theories that fit the needs of people I'm working with for a maximum positive outcome. I don't think that " one size fits all ". The world can be a complicating place to navigate so we need to use all the tools we can to strengthen our inter resources to live fulfilling lives.

I use art and music-based therapy activities to connect with her clients. Art and music are forms of deep creative expression, and allow for communication that extends past what we can express verbally. I also use drama-therapy to help enact emotions, patterns and other aspects of life.

Eclectic Therapy recognizes that one-size does not fit all clients and a client just may not respond to one approach as well as another. This method allows me to pull from a variety of techniques and interventions to enable the client to achieve their goals and life changes that they desire. This also requires that I have in-depth working knowledge of many approaches to use them interchangeably and seamlessly.

I am an eclectic therapist in that I pull from a number of different therapeutic orientations and modalities to best support each individual client. There are some overarching grief theories that I utilize AND I don't believe in a one size fits all approach. Your loss was unique to you so your therapy experience gets to be unique to you as well. I like to work with my clients to better understand what tools and approaches are going to be the best fit for them.

I offer a unique and eclectic blend of different practices as there is no 'one size fits all' approach that works for all. Drawing from the best of conventional & alternative medicine, holistic nursing's connection & caring perspective, cross-cultural wisdom tradition philosophies, various psychological theories including imaginal process, depth, transpersonal & the human potential movement. I blend that further with practical 'here and now' skills you can use in your world.

Eclectic therapy is a flexible approach that draws on multiple theoretical orientations and techniques. This approach allows me to use the most effective methods available to address your unique needs.

My therapeutic style integrates multiple modalities. I believe that our styles must align with the needs of our clients.

There is no one size fits all approach when it comes to mental health. Some modalities will work better with some clients, and some modalities will not. I do not take a cookie cutter approach to my work the clients.

Eclectic therapy is a type of therapy that seeks to directly meet the client and their needs by utilizing multiple therapy approaches in order achieve the best treatment for each individual client.

Just as my work in the addiction field is anything but typical, my work around nearly every other issue that I work on with clients is also approached from a very client centered place. I believe my responsibility to you is to hold space, be present and share with you what science & experience have taught us. The growing awareness is sometimes tough to sit with but you'll have company as you get comfortable with the new information you're living with.
