Eclectic Therapy

I'm always eager to integrate holistic, intuitive, and eclectic methods including dream therapy and bibliotherapy. As a Focusing Oriented Therapist (a somatics based practice), which comes from the Gendlin school of thought. This allows clients an opportunity to get out of their heads, into their bodies, and engage polyvagal regulation.

Since you are the architect of your life, your lived experience is the most valuable tool that we have as we begin to identify the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that no longer serve the true, authentic you. Because every client and their therapy goals are different, I work with each client to meet their unique goals. I’m a trauma informed clinician who uses an integrative therapy framework. This means I use multiple different frameworks and fuse them together to your needs in a flexible way.

My therapeutic style is eclectic in that I often mix a variety of intervention techniques depending on your treatment goals and needs that day. Some sessions will include mostly reflection and deepening clarity of your inner workings, others might include pyschoeducation and skills building. I like to use infographics to information or to help to link personality traits, communication styles, and symptoms. I also suggest media to take in outside of session to deepen work done in session.

In my sessions, I like to use approaches that best fit the client. I pull from CBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, family systems and strength based approaches.

By meeting my clients where they are, I am able to collaboratively identify problem areas and create a plan to meet their individual needs.

As an eclectic therapist, my outlook is shaped from a variety of theoretical orientations, many of which can exist simultaneously. I primarily work with clients through humanistic/person-centered, psychodynamic, and systems theoretical orientations among others.

As a therapist who has been practicing for over a decade, I find it is incredibly helpful to have a number of different tools and modalities to utilize in order to meet the individual needs of each client.

Like most trained therapists, I have a broad knowledge base of several therapeutic modalities. My experience-informed skills show up in how I determine which of the modalities might be most helpful for each client. "Eclectic therapy" is not a "type" of therapy so much as it is a well-stocked toolkit for the therapist and client to rummage through and pull from.

I provide an integrative approach to therapy that combines a variety of therapeutic tools and approaches to fit the needs of each individual client through a lens of being person-centered, anti-oppressive, and non-judgmental. Therapeutic approaches I frequently call upon are Polyvagal Theory, Attachment Theory, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Trauma Therapy, Narrative Theory, Somatic practices, and Emotion-Focused Therapy.

I use many theoretical approaches & multiple sets of techniques to address my clients' individualized needs. Therapy is not an exact science, and requires trial & error to determine the most effective course of treatment. I have ample training & experience in the treatment orientations listed below. Holistic therapy is overarching, as I view each person as a whole individual, in mind/body/spirit and separate from their problems.

Eclectic therapy is an approach that draws from multiple theoretical orientations and techniques. It allows me the flexibility to meet your needs in the best way possible without relying on one method of therapy. I can easily transition from one technique to another to best guide you in finding the answers you want to live a more fulfilling life.

As an eclectic therapist I am able to use pieces of many different therapeutic orientations to best meet your needs. I am trained and versed in numerous treatment modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, Addiction Treatment, Mindfulness Based Treatment, Solution Focused, Etc. My training and understanding of numerous tools allows me to provide the most integrative and individualize care for you.

I embrace Eclectic Therapy as a dynamic tool for personalized healing. Recognizing that each individual is unique, I draw from a diverse range of therapeutic modalities tailored to meet specific needs. This flexible approach allows me to integrate elements from cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, and humanistic therapies.

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 respect my client's individuality and therefore I use an eclectic approach. Eclectic therapy basically means using different evidenced based modalities and techniques to match the needs of your client. When it comes to mental health, there is no once size fits all.

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.

As a therapist that values the uniqueness of my clients I find that the eclectic therapeutic approach allows me to combine techniques and methods from different therapeutic modalities to best meet the individual needs of each client. It offers a personalized and flexible approach to therapy that can effectively address their specific needs and goals. By combining different therapeutic techniques, clients can experience effective treatment that supports their overall well-being and growth.

I consider myself the anti-magician of therapy. Early on I will help you define goals and come back with a menu of recommended, research based treatment options. WE will collaborate on what your treatment will look like and I will let you know all the 'tricks' I use and why. Our time together will be custom fit to you, your goals, and your needs.
