Position I have an eclectic approach to therapy, using a variety of different methods and techniques from differing theories, addressing various issues of mental health and mental illness. My philosophy is that every patient is an individual. Accurately assessing an individual's needs includes a complete psychosocial assessment. Providing the best treatment practice, involves that individual in developing a plan for treatment, designing goals specific to that individual's needs and his or her particular issues presented.
