My Practice:
My work is specialized in Cognitive psychotherapy (CT). Cognitive Therapy is a time-limited and problem-focused form of psychotherapy, using evidence-based treatments protocols that are adapted for the needs of each individual.
What is Cognitive Therapy (CT)?
CT is a time limited, comparatively brief psychotherapeutic approach that focuses on problem-solving and skill-building in order to challenge patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain anxiety and mood difficulties.
CT has been extensively evaluated in rigorous clinical trials and has solid empirical support as an effective treatment for anxiety and mood disorders. Research also indicates that the changes that occur during CT treatment are durable and that the individual is less prone to relapse than with other psychological therapies or with medication treatment alone.
CT is structured, goal-oriented, and focused mostly on the present though it can relate to how believe system was created in the past.
CT believes that the majority of the work takes place outside of the session and my patients wil be expected to be doing at least some daily work to archieve their goals. this help the client systematically apply new skills and techniques into his or her daily life, and to accelerate treatment (and, therefore, reduce the overall cost of therapy).
CT is a flexible, individualized approach that can be adapted to a wide range of patients as well as a variety of settings (inpatient, outpatient, home visits) and formats (group, individual, and couples).
CT is compatible with a range of other treatments the patient may receive, such as pharmacotherapy or medical treatment
