Psychotherapy
My approach is generally cognitive-behavioral, but integrates mindfulness and
interpersonal perspectives and draws from the latest knowledge in neuroscience.
When anxiety is a problem, I may use biofeedback to teach effective relaxation
strategies. All of these approaches involve learning to become aware of your
patterns of thinking, feeling and interacting, and finding alternatives to these
patterns which allow new learning.
Different age groups, however, require adjustments to the developmental level of the client. With children, the emphasis is more on behavior and their relationships with parents, peers and teachers. With adolescents and adults, it shifts to more cognitive and relational interventions. When working with children, I work both with the child and parents to help facilitate change, although the amount of time I spend with individuals tends to increase with age. In some cases I will recommend that the whole family work together in family therapy.
To help you decide if you have a mental health problem, try using an online screening tool. These screens are not a substitute for a careful evaluation by a professional, but can be helpful in understanding patterns of symptoms you might be experiencing.

Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.
