SHOULD
I SEE HER? YES,
A comprehensive integrated assessment will be conducted
and based on the nature of the problem, the type of treatment
will be mutually decided upon. I have an integrative, eclectic
therapeutic approach. Often, Cognitive Behavior Therapy
is utilized with certain individuals and conditions but
for others, an intrapsychic approach may be required to
explore deeper internal mediating processes that may impact
behavior.
Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is an action-oriented form
of psychosocial therapy that assumes that maladaptive or
faulty thinking patterns cause maladaptive behavior and
“negative “emotions. The treatment focuses on
changing an individual’s thoughts (cognitive patterns)
in order to change his or her emotional state. CBT is a
short term, action oriented therapy effort whose goal is
to help you learn a new way of reacting.

FROM DR. CHANDLER....
“I believe that everyone has an inherent ability
to come to terms with their emotions, the past and their
current lives. I also believe everyone can benefit from
and is entitled to experience the full range of human emotions
and capabilities. And I know from experience that anyone
can change”.
